Upon motion it was decided that the

THEY GET TOGETHER.
Candidates for Sheriff Reach
an Understanding.
GARDNER AND CLEMENTS AGREE,

divide the Norfolk Delegates to the Re-
publican County Convention, with I'm
Outstanding that they Determine whose
Name shall lie Presented.
Gardner, both aspirants for the nomina-
ton rs sheriff of Madison county ut the
hands of the republican party, have
finally reached an agreement, which it
is hoped will settle amicably what was
feared would be Il serious rupture in the
republican ranks. Both parties realize
that to &c to the county convention with
n split delegation meant the probable
defeat of both for the nomination, or in
the event that either were nominated
the antagonisms made while trying to
secure favorable delegates would react
at the election and make the success of
the nominee very doubtful. Looking ut
1t in this light, it became very essential
that an agreement be reached and that
it be done before the Third ward caucus
last evening. Hence, yesterday after.
noon the two gentlemen came together
and again went over the situation, the
result of that conference being a
stipulation which recites that an agree
ment has been reached in the interest of
harmony and for the purpose of insur-
ing success in the republican party.
Under the agreement, which is made
subject to the ratification of the repub-
lican caucuses, each of the two candi-
dates is to be allowed to select one.half
of the delegates accredited to Norfolk,
and after all the delegates have been
elected they will be invited to meet in
caucus and ballot upon who shall be the
Norfolk candidate for sheriff, and that
when either of the candidates shall re-
ceive 20 of the 30 votes which Norfolk
will have in h county convention, hen
it is the desire of these candidates that
the one receiving the 20 votes shall have
the unanimous support of the entire
delegation. The agreement also states
that Of the delegates already elected,
the five in the First ward shall be &C
credited to Clemments and the three in
the Fourth ward to Gardner. The
other two wards are divided on the
basis of giving Gardner four in the Sec
ond ward and five in the Third, Glenn
ments three in the Second ward and
four in the Third. 1t is figured that the
outside precinct will break even, al
though both agree not to try to iniu.
ence the selection of delegates in that
caucus.
The Third ward caucus ratified this
agreement between the two candidates
at the meeting last night, and the same
proposition will be submitted to the
Second ward caucus which convenes to-
morrow evening. If the agreement is
endorsed by that caucus then a meeting
of all the delegates will be held at the
C ity hall Saturday evening to decide
who shall be the candidate. There is
no specification as to what shall be done
in case the delegates fail to agree upon a
choice, but as there is no desire on the
part of either candidate to go into the
convention with only half his home del
egaticn, it is presumed some way will
be provided out of the difficulty in case
the arrangement does solve the difficulty
as contemplated.
