THE CONVENTION.

The Peoples party delegate conven-

we'll attended. Considering the IN
clemency of the weather added to the
fact that the purpose OF the convention
was merely for the purpose of selecting
two delegates to the state delegate con-
ventiOn, ii was remarkably well at
tended. The unrepresented townships
were Aetna, Deerhead, Sun City Eagle,
Elm Mills and HaZelton. Several of
these sent word that the unfavorable
weather made it impossible for their
delegates to be present.
The convention was organized by
electirg G. w. Ellis chairman and A.
l.. Herr secretary. The usual form of
appointing committees was not adopted
and the convention proceeded to make
its nominations. The names of Hon.
II. S. Lands, Hon. Jerry Simpson, L.
g. Golf and .. Mills were presented.
The name of Mills was later with.
drawn.
On motion the convention proceeded
to choose two of the nominees by bal
lot, which, on account of a failure of
the delegates to understand the method
of voting required some time and amuse-
ment. But matters were adjusted and

that challenge, not i'll an insinuatlng
way through the columns of the Ores
set, but by direct letter to MIR. Finch
and we are satisfied that he will be ac-

to discover where Mr.. Martin us att
politically and are therefore doubly
anxious to see this debate take place.
! We hope the date Will be speedily ar
ranged. As for his proposed discussion
with Mr.. Jesse, we would also like to
see that arranged for, hut, of course,
we are not SO much interested in it as
we are in seeing him meet Mr.. Finch.
