y
had teen appointed to bring kas'
parek to the conventions, ard they
led him in. 1t was queer scene
Kasparek, OF course, would make
speech, declaring his loyalty ana
Democracy. The scowls of the con
vention broke him up, though. he
said he was glad to have 50 many
friends. He said also shat he would
try and make as honorable u fight
as he did two years ago. That was
all. The convention resumed work
When it was recalled that Kasparek
carried his hone town as a Repub.
lica0 two years ago by a good ma
iOrity, and then let the next Repub'
lican on the ticket get skinned by 8
vote OF Is to 12O for his opponent,
then it was realized what Kasparek
might have meant by his honorable
campaign two years ago. Watch
that lad and his little knife. Now
that he is on the Democratic ticket
there is good reason to believe that
he will help some Republicans. He
didn't before.
The county attorney next came up
and Lyon was placed in the field.
c.. E. Vasaly then made talk for f.
F. Shaw, stating tina his candidates
history, record and associates were
Democratic. He appealed for his
friend in the name of party service
and in behalf of"young" Democracy.
He left the impression that such
patriarchs in the cause as Kasparek
should have some young associates.
The ballot resulted in Lyons NOM
nation by more than to1.
| Lyon then told the convention
about an "educat ioual wave," and
it in surmised that he meant the
"wave" that had 81 suddenly con-
verified Shaw and Vasaly from chirp-
ing gold bugs to snorting free silver
ties. He endorsed the wave,
however, and smiled.
| For Judge of probate E. 5. Smith
was supposed to have cinch-but
ohaw's enemies get In their work
again and place him in the field. 1t
was no work of his, but Smith beat
him little.
And Smith talked. There was not
a multi-millionaire in the audience
but trembled. Every plutocrat
quaked, and those who had their
thrones under them, slid off. It was
a clear case of Smith and the masses
VS.. the classes. Az usual Smith lost
his case. He abused his clients
opponent, but couldn't cite any
authorities. The county is asked to
pay the attorneys fees in the case
by electing Smith Judge Of probate.
| Superintendent Seal was renom-
mated.
H. S. Clyde was nominated az
county surveyor. He broke off a
talk. He thought that the Republic
| ans had made u worse job OF rum
ming the county than the DemOcra ia
had. He didn't quote any author
tiles for his Thought" Under DEM
ocratic rule in 1893 the county
expenses were $4,000 greater than
the receipts. Under Republican rule
in 1895 the expenses were considera-
bly, less than the receipts. That is
what Clyde calls a bad showing for
Republicans. We trust the farmers
of the county will interview Mr..
Clyde on this point.
E. f. Shaw was nominated for
court mmissioner. young" DEM
ocracy was thus recognized.
Drs. Fortier and Dumont were
both nominated for coroner, but the
Democrats were luckier than the
Republicans, and one physician Of
their party was absent, SO he
couldn't decline. Fortier was pres
emit, and insisted on Dumont being
nominated.
/ The county commissioners were
named as follows:
First district--M. Enke.
Second district-H. RAsicOt.
Third district. j. Gross.
Laboringmen and employers both
know the conservative conditions
that surround the price Of labor.
