The above ticket was nominated yes
terady. is undoubtedly the strongest
ticket ever nominated in this county
by any party. 1t starts in with Judge
Reed, the truly righteous Judge, man
with a great mind, a splendid heart
and conscience that cannot be sway
ed from the right by any power. Then
there is the brilliant Harry Gordon for
senator, who will be the brightest ora
tor and most senator-like man by far
In the higher legislative body of the
state. Next comes Henry Schad, the
business man, citizen and old soldier,
than whom there is no better in the
county. He will be no experiment. The
people know who he is and are quite
confident that he Use entitled to their
trust. And then there is Morris Lloyd,
the farmer from the country, who has
been in touch with the plain hardwork-
ing people OF this county for twenty
years. a gentleman of the strietest
integrity, of the most rigid honesty, Of
the most affabie and courteous diSpo-
sition and highly qualified in every re-
spect to be the treasurer of the great

snip, who made such a gallant fight; as
fine type of the honest, Christian
American farmer as one could find
in a years travel. The man who gain

the county, each one of whom is fitted
for any office in the gift of the county
Then as triumph of good Judgment,
as 1t were, the convention nominated
the genial warm-hearted everybody s.
friend, Albert N. Denny. MIR. Denny
has been a bookkeeper and business
man all his life, trusted from time to
time with the largest business and
financial interests The first man to
congratulate him was Mr. Clapp, in
whose employment he has been for
several years, and no will be grieved
to sever with him in business life. All
the men on that ticket are giants but
none of them will get more votes on
election day than A. NJ. Denny. Every

the most hide-bound opposition cranks

In Doubt but whether Mr.. McCollister

county. Mr.. McCollister is a one arm

and nature as genial as man has ever
been endowed with. He is everybody's
friend dead and alive and has not an
enemy on either side of the grave. Mr.
McLain is gray haired old soldier
and a gentleman who is esteemed by
everybody for his manhood and worth.
HOW IT WAS DONE.
The convention was made up of rs
fine q lot of representative men as ever
sat beneath the dome of the auditor
ium. There were men there from all
the walks in life fifty of whom could
fill the office of congressman with hon
or and credit. The wholesale mer-
chant. the lawyer, the physician and
even the minister participa ted to say
nothing Of the farmer and mechanic
the two classes to whom society is per-
oh .lI &c
and comfort than any other class. All
sat there in perfect equality before the
memories and traditions of the Re
publican par;y-the first party in
America that made all men, of all col
ers. creeds and conditions. equal. All
did the work delegated to them by the
great mass of the people so satisfac-
torily that they left not a sore head
or a sting that needs balm.
1t WAS O'Clock when II. l.. Gordon,
chairman of the committee. called the
meeting to order in mastery speech.
The first thing in order of course was

voice of the convention Mr. T. c. VIII
son was elected chairman, and not a
member of the convention had reason
to regret the choice. MIR. Wilson made
model chairman. He governed with
almost hewitching courtesy and the
most absolute fairness. He turned
his ear to everybody and recognized
the right of every individual i'm the
convention 10 be heard with patience
and courtesy. From the start to the
finish Of his use of the gavel there was
not jar a slight or single incident
that was questioned Besides that he
made n brilliant and patriotic speech

mony that prevailed all through the
deliberations. His right hand partner
in the good work was NJ q. Pittinger

secretary.
