The pops got along nicely until
they came to county superintendent;
at this juncture Prof. H. w. Elliott,
of the Chanute Normal College took
he stand to nominate C. V Dennis;
in the course of his remarks he be
gan showering some pretty bitter in
vectives on Miss Frazier, when A.
S. Lapham made him hush up. Mr..
Dennis declined to run and Miss
Frazier was nominated by acclama-
ton. Prof. Elliott says they can
hush him up, but that they can not
keep him hushed; that he stands
ready and willing to canvass the
county in conjunction with the re-
publican nominee, and do all in his
power to defeat Miss Frazier.
1t seems as if Prof's. H. w. Eli
oft, C. V. Dennis, and John S.
O'Connor each asked for work in
the normal and all were turned down
and normal instructors impaired, one
being Miss Frazier's brother, who it
is claimed, is much inferior in point
of ability to either of the gentlemen
named. The rest of the work was
uneventful, each man being nomi-
nhted by reclamation when his name
was called, The following delegates

The convention then adjourned
and the delegates from Tioga, Can

nominate a commissioner. The
dems swarmed into the room and
held whispered consultation with
their pop allies, agued, coaxed and
in behalf of Mr.. Me eler'

to this and finally F. M,
Abbott's name was placed before

of the ticket this fall. The conven-
ton showed an entire absence of
