SYNOPSIS OF REPOhT.
At this juncture of eXll,lberatiOn nn the part
Of the nominated and the sad looking counte-
nlnces Of those who were left, Sorehead Wallin
stuffed the current Of human thought with the
following self-satisfying effort:
"Gentlemen of the convention: Yon all know
ME. am not all orator nor public speaker,
but wish to make a few remarks. We have
this d:.v nominated Il straight and strong indie
pendent ticket. We have chosen the most
worthy men, that can be found in our county,
In fact we have left no stone unturned that we
might rid ourselves of all political corruption
| and skulltluggery.
Tho time has come; the time is here, that 1t
is our turn to seize the reins of our county man.
| agelncnt and we will show our opponents that
we will rule the affairs of our county, with a
| wonderfully constructed hand; a hand which is
cast of iron with snews Of steel and fibcrS Of
aluminium, and with the same wonderful hand
we will serve out all the tare and cllaf that is
yet to be found in our party ranks and retain
only the good plump berries. We will also cast
aside all crooked sticks and branches, keeping
only the smooth straight timber with which to
build up our own Peoples Party. Therefore;
gentlemen Of this convention: We can not helm
but win. We have nothing but the very best Of
timber on our ticket. We have nominated the
most honest and upright men In our party
There Is not one man present whose character
5 not above reproach and our rotten opponents
look at US with wlsllful eye, but do not dare to
assai any one members political or social
standing. Besides feel brave; feel confident
that when the 9th, day Of November arrives and
the pool boxes are closed, we will find that
victory is ours and ours alone. Although we
have the bravest Of men on our side, men that
are above Doodle and corruption, let us never
theless be OH the alert, for enemic; are eary
and restless and ever ready to undermine any
plan Of campaign we may lay out:
In order to encourage our followers will, like
Brother Haugeberg, raise my right hand and
pledge myself to support this party and promise
that from this moment. will place my shoulder
to the wheel and push ten pounds more than
any man of my size"
At this point the speaker was interrupted b.
Mr.. Chesworth with the following inspiration:
"ies. and While you are pushing with your
shoulder against the wheel I will be slapping the
buckskin into you and compel you to push the
promised additional ten pounds. Bystanders
will have chance to see you fly into the collar
and when tile hear me yell-Onward: Get up
Wallin! The very traces Of your harness will
stretch; the single and double trees will crack,
but the load will novel,
After the adjournment of the convention q
special press reporter interviewed several dele
gates. One Of them doubtfnlly shook his head
and said: II am sorry to say that we have be-
fore us steep hill to clime and although }ronclo
Waliin will help to start the load 4 rolling, l am
confident he will balk before we reach the sum.
NIT II other words, that he will balk before
election day., LET me tall you" cllimed in
another delegate. "Broncho Waln has becn
owned by several parties in tllls county, and

We did not buy him. He is running in this Poo
