Fusion Machine I'm Clay County.
CLAY CENTER, Neb., Aug. 16.-(Spe-
cial. - populist and democratic county
conventions for Clay county met here today.
The machine in politics ruled as was never
known before in the county. The demo-
Gratis nominated George Mitchell for county
clerk and Joe Fell for clerk of the district
court. The latter is a young man who has
always been a republican and is at present
with the First Nebraska volunteers, but
who has criticised rather severely the adj
ministration at Washington in the manner
or conducting the war In the Philippines.
The populists as a whole were opposed to
giving the democrats two places on the
ticket, but the machine" fearing that flu
sion would fail If they did not, succeeded
in accepting them, and nominated Guy Sc
cord for sheriff; H.. L. Palmer, county judge;
Theodore Griess, county treasurer; G. w.
Jester, superintendent Of public instruction;
w. A. Summer. surveyor; John Smock, coro-
ner. The latter named was the chairman
of the convention.
The ticket as named leaves many sore
places throughout the county and by wise
nominations by the republicans will be de-
feated in the election. Delegates were Sc
lected for state and judicial conventions
and go uninstructed.
