auditor, etc., to carry the state through,
and he named George Nichols Of Cass
for the treasurer's work; said Mr.. Nichols
had grown up in the state an example of
the ability Of young men; that Andrew
Burke had placed him as deputy in the
Cass county treasurer's office, in which
he served SIX years. The republicans
then said George E. Nichols shall be our
county treasurer himself for two years,
and then they SAID again he shall be foz
two years more, for this is the man to
handle our funds His candidates ex-
perience would benefit the state, and
when nominated would be elected. He
was nominated after Grand Forks had
politely seconded 1t; also Pembina and
Traill, Walsh and Richland, and after
Colonel Plunmer gave Ward county q
four votes "for the long service to the re-
; publican party" which Mr.. Nichols had
accomplished.
