eyer since he was in the county and
claimed the honor for always being
right and more able than his brethren
in finding smart men for Office. He
went on with his line of harrangue and
finally presented the name of d. d.
Edwards. The Sharon fellows imme-
diately realized that nothing but
speech would save their bacon and Mr..
Booher OF that delegation arose and
filled the bill. He started out by say
ing that he, unlike his brother, had
never asked a nomination for any of
his friends and at this time he thinks
he deserves recognition. Then he
switched off and told them of his 10y
atty to the republican party. even going
so far as to condemn his mother for be-
Ing Up months Slow" thus preventing
him from voting for Fremont, the first
republican presidential candidate. He
said he would endorse anybody or
anything the republicans would put out
fol- president in '96, whether it be, Har-
rison, Mckinley, Reed or anything the
bosses could scare out of monopoly's
ranks. He went Oh to say that the re-
publican party has good men every
where but Sharon township has the
best man for clerk-E. G. Davis. Both

ia order and j. b. Gano placed the
name of George Horney before the con-

had decided before hand that Horney

| Lumpkin was chosen 10 move that
! Horney be made the unanimous choice
of the convention but the committee
on arrangement forgot to write out the
motion and consequently the old man
made break by making motion to
postpone the rules'' but the conven-
ton went ahead and postponed" 'em
and Horneywas declared the unanimous
choice of the convention. Everything,
| so far as nominations were concerned,
were now completed except to put up
a little trading stock. Axline winked
his off eye as he got up and nominated
doctor" j. K. Osborne, of Eagle

this one.
For surveyor, E. H. Nixon nomin-
ated l.. y. Walton who is also for trade,
sale or conGscation.

Mr.. Long strutted around as usual
paradiug his beauty, condemning the
democratic party for the slight change
in the tariff made in the last congress,
and the populists. He kept silent on
the money question but urged his fell
| low redeemers to stand by the repub-
lican party regardless of what the par
ty stands for. He said he was opposed
to the national administration in ev-
erything which sounds strangely when
we remember that he was elected on a
platform endorsing its financial policy
