TWIN CONVENTIONS.
The pops and democrats held their |
conventions at this place Monday, ,and |
1t was like attending two-ring circus.
The pops orened their performance by |
selecting G. E. Allison as chairman
and w. H. Nation as secretary. H. p.
Farrelly was selected as chairman and
Ben f. Roe as secretary of the unter-
rified, Each convention by prear-
ranged plan, selected a committee of
13 to act as conference committee for
the purpose of distributing the spoils.
These committees pulled and hauled
till about o'clock before they came
to a conclusion. The pops wanted
treasurer, clerk, sheriff and surveyor,
leaving the democrats register of deeds
and coroner as their share, but while
the democrats have less than three
hundred votes in the county, they had
an equal representation on the Confer
ence committee, and declared that
they would have half Of the ticket or
nothing. Finally the pops gave in,
provided they would accept sheriff in
addition to coroner and recoreer as
I eir share Of the swag. As it was
fOregone conclusion that Prange could
not be beaten, it was with reluctance
that the bourbons accepted tile posi-
tion, but they finally gave inland their
action reported to both conventions.
The democrats who are going to sacri-
flee all the balance of the ticket for
Locke, at once ratified the action of
the committeeman so with the pops.
DunsmOre assailed the report as un-
fair, claiming that recorder and coro- {
ner should satisfy the democrats; sam
Brewster told pitiful story of how he :
had run for county attorney with
