The Shawnee county Democratic CON
vention q few weeks ago turned down
David Overmyer but i'm the state CON
Vention yesterday he not only won as
de1eeate-at-large to the national con-
vention. but was accorded as great an
ovation as any man ever received IN
Kansas political convention
When the time came for the nomlna-
lions for elegates-at-large, the names
Of John Martin, David OVermyers j. T.
AIcCleverty, James McKinstry. j. H.
Atwood. Frank Bacon. Neil T. Graham
ana Judge A. NJ. Jackson We're placed
before the convention.
When Charles Bucher of Newton
arose to nominate Mc&inst1y, he was
not aware that Overmyer had been
nominated. Being told that the Shaw
nee mans name had been presented
Butcher said.
III hope to see Overmyer elected The
west wants to see him elected We have
already declared ourselves for the free
and unlimited coinage of silver, and one
speech GA that subject in the nallonaI
convention. coming from David over
1nver. is worth more than an the
-.a Il been
snarling and growing at his heels
The west is for Overmyer because
he is not consumed with ambitions ana
is not a seeker after office. lie IS 700
big for that. David Overmyer IS DIG
enough and broad enough to represent
the whole of Kansas and is Infinitely
better than the set of Shawnee county
'jackals' which has been assailing MIN
III hope to see David Overmyer elect
ed
This speech was delivered in an inn
passi0ned manner, and was heard All
over the hail very distinctly AT ITS
close. the delegates could no longer re-
strain themselves and men jumped 10
their feet. mounted chairs, waved hats
and handkerchiefs and otherwise went
wild in their enthusiasm. Calls We're
made for OVermyer, and aIteE rev
moments. during which the cheering
was continued. he walked down the
center aisle receiving, as he went. q
ma gnificent ovation As he reached the
foot of the stage, the cheering was al
most deafening. but the moment over
nyer raised his hand, it ceased. only a
few brief words aid ne say, but they
were sufficient Nothing on earth could
have stopped David OVermyer's nOmd-
nation after that.
Therefore. no one was much surprised
when w S. Glass Of Marshall jumped
to his chair a few minutes later and
moved the suspension Of the rules and
the nomination of Martin, Overnlyer
and NIcCleverty by reclamation. The
motion was put, and with shout it
carried. When the negative was put not
more than a dozen voices responded
John Martin was then called for and
appeared for a few minutes. during
which he thanked the convention for
the nomination, and renewed his
pledges for free silver.
The vote on the remaining delegates
at large resulted in the selection of Nc
KInstry, Atwood and Bacon, the vote
