command while Chairman Leach rested
his wearied vocal cords, announced,
fourteen for Hotchkiss," and j. w.
Fosters aid-de.camp, f. M. Hopkins
reiterated the old story of "thirteen for
Charles Ashton"
AT supper time go ballots had been
taken and no change. In spite OF con-
ference and argument, lobbying, plead
ing and promises for the future, each
delegation stuck to their candidate.
AT 1880 o'clock DR.. Caldwell again
called the convention to order and
twenty ballots gave the same encourage
ing result as had been reached all day.
Then came the end. With an end.of-
.the-century sigh, after Audubon gave
her familiar "eight for Andrews, Mr..
Leach started the "Dark Horse" on the
track by giving fourteen votes for A. II.
Edwards, of Audubon county, Guthrie
county hurridly caucused and voted
for Ashton.
"The two hundred and third
ballot,!said the chairman, "the secretary
will call the roll" Audubon gave
seven for Edwards, and one for Ashton,
Dallas voted solid for Edwards, and
Guthrie named Hotchkiss with thirteen
votes, and before the result was an
nounced, Mr.. Leach, who-may he
pardon our slang,-was strictly onto
his job, changed Dallas back to Hotch-
kiss and nominated that gentleman.
The nominee of the convention, Mr..
A. G. Hotchkiss, is man Of much
ability, well and favorably known in
his own county, where he has ably
edited the Dallas comfy News for the
past sixteen years. He is an able bust
ness man, a scholarly writer and true
blue republican, who will make the
seventeenth district an able and con-
scientious representative in the next
senate.
1t is source of regret that Audubon
county did not get the senatorship for
a second term. The delegation did all
possible for their candidate, and stayed
by him even unto the end.
Many kind words were heard for
"Father" Ashton. According to the
rotation rule in the district his nomi-
nation was the logical one in the event
of Audubon's claims being set aside.
Mr.. Ashton's recognized ability and his
long years of work in the party harness
made stronger the claims Of Guthrie
county. After the selection of an
Audubon county man seemed hopeless,
the editors personal preferences were
for Mr.. Ashton, but the convention
deceed otherwise, we can give our
sincere support to Mr.. Hotchkiss.
Senator Andrews retires from office
with the respect of the entire district
as is set forth in the resolutions
adopted by the convention. He was
one of the hard working members Of
the legislature and only unfortunate
circumstances kept him from receiv
ing second nomination.

Mrs. Frank Brockway lies at her
home, very sick, as the result of fright
given her by the half-witted boy, Geo.
Clifton, last week. Mrs. Brockway
was watering her pony at the well near
the Northwestern depot, when the boy,
who was in the neighborhood, saw her
and started for her waving a piece OF
fence board and making demonstra-
lions of anger. The lady being badly
frightened left the pony and ran to her
home, which violent exercise together
with the fright is the cause OF her pre-
sent serious condition.
