Republican. Democratic. popuiistie.
and r~o Editions Of Silver
Repubiicsnism.

La Iunta achieved distinction as
convention town Monday. There
were at least two hundred repre-
sentatives OF all shades of political
opinion gathered here to nominate
candidates for the respective county
Offices. Three OF the political
parties smothered their political
principles and decided to boost the
silver cause by attempting to elect
silver republican to the legislature,
a populist to the position OF county
Judge and democratic commits
sioper.
Party lines were obliterated, and
the cohorts OF silver were seeming
ly entirely devoted to principle
and any stray crumb OF political
patronage that might be allotted
to them.
The republicans, who do not
need an adjective to designate their
particular brand, came out fiat
footed and declared that they
would not fuse with any party on
earth, and in SO doing raised
themselves 100 per cent IN the
estimation OF every right-thinking
man. That is what every party
should do which has any principals
that are entitled to respect.
| Following is a synopsis OF the
proceedings OF the various conven-
tions:
REPUBLICAN.
The republican county conven-
ton met in Commercial College
Hall at ago o'clock p. IN. and
were called to order by Chairman
NJ. L. Farwell The committees
on credentials and resolutions pre-
sented their reports which were
adopted. Following are the reso-
lutious:
| Resolrfd, That the Republicans
OF Otero county assembled IN con
vention reaitirm their faith in the
principles and traditions OF the re-
publican party and endorse the
platform adopted by the Republi'
can state convention at Denver
Sept. IS, 1898.
Rcs0Erca, That this convention
nominate TOR county officers repre-
sentative men without consulting
or comforting with any other polit,-
cal party on earth, and that this
campaign be carried on unsullicd
by the vagaries OF populism, the
mistakes OF democracy and the de-
moralizing influences OF that bunco-
steering clique sailing under the
misnomer OF Silver Republicans.
Resoiued, That we invite to our
ranks those loyal and patriotic
American citizens of our county
who have heretofore allied them
selves with the so called Silver
Republican party and other parties
whose vagarIts are destructive
to American industry, and who re-
fused to be traded and sold out by
a Doodle gang of worn out trlok-
sters, every one OF whom are ex-
candidates and ex-officeholders
who are striving once more to
reach the public crib BY attempting

T. r. Hoffmire then nominated
A. w. Shelton for county COM
missioner and he was likewise

convention
The chair then appointed Messrs.
T. r. Hoifmire, A. w. Shelton,
and ]. L. Blackburn as COM
mittee to fill vacancies, should any
occur by reason of death or resig-
nation.
The convention was entirely
harmonious, presenting a strange
contrast to the other political
bodies who were in state OF tur-
moil from start to finish.
The following central COM
mitteemen from each of the various
precincts were then elected:

oTHER CONVENTIONS.
The silver republicans met in
/ Hecox Hall at 10 a. m. Chair,
man Z. c. Graham called the con
vention to order, about thirty FIVE
delegates being present. A mo-
ton to appoint a committee to
confer with the straight republi-
cans upon fusion ticket started
an uproar. The motion was
amended to make it committee
to confer with the democrats and
populists. This started dis.
cussion upon the merits and de-
merits OF a fusion with parties who
were directly antagonistic to every
principle OF the silver republicans
except upon the one issue OF silver.
c. A. Beerbohm was the first to
make the announcement that in
the event the silver republicans
decided to fuse with the democrats
he would withdraw from the con-
ventiou. He was followed by
Chairman f. c. Graham, James
| McNeen, O. g. Hess, H. Brink
man and others, and a total oi
eleven withdrew.

sional district, and there is an excellent
reason whv In fact there are two or three
reasons. The first is that even under the
severest construction OF the law it is not a
crime not to have attained the age of eigh-
ty or ninety. Fit were the great majority

reason is that it is not an oflense for a
man to give employment to many humid

Every effort to use the latter argument
against man in this State has failed.
| The man Of means who puts those means
in great plant for the double purpose of
employing his capital at a fair profit and
at the same time giving work to labor Is
the last man in the world, assuming that
he deals fairly with his men, for laboring

emies keep up their present cry that he

The contract with the Church people for
fifteen miles Of street railway and a new
electric lighting plant, as published in
blank in yesterday mornings Eagle, was
signed yesterday by Mayor Ross at fifteen
minutes past o'clock
II. B. Church left yesterday afternoon
on the $40 Frisco train for Chicago and
Boston to complete the details of con-
struction with contractors. He said il
would be from thirty to forty-five days be
fore the work of building the new plants
would begin. This was as near as he could
tell when the work would begin. He said
that there were a number of bids for the
work, but he didn't know who would be
given the job. II J. Holt Gates the for
mer contractor, was given the work he
thought it would be possible to have men
putting down the track within twenty
days. If new men were given the contract,
new plans in detail would have TO be ar
ranged and it would take longer. How
long he did not know. but he thought not
more than forty days would elapse before
workmen would be laying new track
Gates was the contractor employed under
the old franchise. and as he had cars built
and other matters arranged. II would re-
quire less time for him to get at the work
than would be necessary for a new man

One Of the most interesting shows on
the road is the Norris Bros. Peerless Dog

formances at 3 and o'clock p. m. next

enjoyable or attractive amusement than
a trained animal show when the actors
have been trained by kind treatment and
go through their performance willingly
and cheerfully. Such is said 20 be the
case with Norris Brothers collection of
over one hundred trained domestic ami
mails, which includes Shetland Ponies,
Doge GOATS and Monkeys. all of which
have been trained to take part in a long

ease and readiness initiating their human
Supporters wi IN such accuracy as TO afford
ample cause for mingled astonishment
and mirth. The show is OF a kind that is
exceedingly enjoyable to children.

that Ponca City was the biggest small

was caused by seeing the long business

they now realize the reason OF Ponca
City's greatness as a trading point. They
