COUNTY NOMINEES.
A motion prevailed that the candl.
dates for nomination on the county
ticket should be brought ont by bal.
lot and the vote for sheriff was or.
dered. The result of the first ballot
was 20 votes for Jerry Hayes and ID
votes for Frank Lish. As there were
only 81 delegated entitled to repre-
s%entation, it looked as though some.
body's friends had voted too much.
The second ballot resulted in "a votes
for Hayes and Is for Lish, and the
former was declared the choice of
the convention. The result of this
ballot was u aurnrise to everybody,
for while it had been conceded that
Hayes was waging a bitter fight
against Lish and the vote might be
close, it never had been expected
that Hayes could oayry anything lik e
two to one Of the delegates.
For treasurer the vote was: Deffe.
