heavy work of the clique are now losing
1t all at rapid rate. The moment the
cliques took their support away and stop
ped taking money out of their pockets
the general public showed what they
thought of the stocks. And yet even al
though therA has been no rise since the
beginning 6fJhhuary. there is an abund-
ance of room for large drop before the
market reaches Its normal level.

day. 1t is stated, too, that there were in

The street has come to this view very
thoroughly. too. as the market yesterday
showed. 1t was the worst day so far in
the Maine disaster slump. Everywhere
there was a bad drop, and in some spots
it reached almost to the aspect of a
panic Liquidation continued undated,
and was even brisker than on Monday. a
lot of long stock came out. There seems
no reason to doubt that the same con-
ditions will prevail today even if there is
no more startling news. Should the sit
uation become more grave the panic
would begin in earnest. careful review
of the conditions of the market from all
sides. taking into consideration the Maine
catastrophe, the Spanish situation in gen.
eral, and also the prices that prevail at the
present time entirely irrespective of the
Spanish question, should convince any
one that there is to be drop on al least
10 points from this level. The whole mar
ket has been entirely too high. The rea-
sons for the rise given by the bulls as
they forced the pricessup have been finn
sy and with supporting facts. A drop
was overdue had there been no Spanish
situation. With the aid of that very po-

Chairman J. W. Andrews of the Re-
publican county committee. read the
official call. On motion Of W. n. Ply

the opera house. The delegates were
little slowsin getting together there.
Each delegation had large printed

on the stage to aKnOw where the
speakers were from, following the
plan of state conventions, and this
proved a great convenience. The
Concordia band. which had been en-
gagged for the occasion, furnished
several inspiring selections.
The scene at the opera house was a
most animated one. Some fifty anX-
ious candidates were scattered about
the lobby aud aisles, while tn dele
gates filed into the parquet. 1t re-
quired some little time To get the de
legations together, but finally the 1872
delegates got their places. The con-
Vention was fine appearing body Of
men, being represen tatives of the best
interest," of the business and farming
communities. Good nature prevailed,
despite the various conflicts that
were being waged by the candidates.
The band occupied seats on the
stage. The chalrman's desk was
graced with beautiful bouquet of
sweet peas. The doors and windows
were all open, and cool bret yes
swept through. making it very cUm-
Portable. Numerous spectators filled
the seating capacity of the house, es-
pecially at the afternoon session.
IL was little past 1920 O'Clock
when DR.. Andrews again called the
convention TO order. Dr. Andrews
said that in calling the convention to
order he was performing his last duty
as chairman OF the committee. He
thanked the Republicans of the cuun-
ty and the members Of the Commits
for their uniform courtesy aud help
fulness. The committee has paid all
of the bills. He congratulated The
party on its prospects of success, au1
predicted that the ticket nominale1
would be elected.

Lime appeared before the committee.
Ed. Smith and Louis Mueller repre-
sented that they were elected by

McTighe and Chas. Lundberg, who
were elected by caucus of thirteen
voters held at school dist. No. 12S,
