nate a Ticket for the
Republicans to Beat.

Pursuant to the call of the centra
committees the delegates to tn,
county convention of the allied force
met at the opera house Wednesday
at IL O'clock. Heretofore the parties
have held separate conventions OF
the same day, but so much time wal
lost and energy wasted i'm running
back and forth between the meetings
that it was decided to hold ON,
"Union Convention this year, anc
that is what was done.
The delegates were nearly all in
when the chairman called the meet
ing to order, but it was noticeable
that the Democrats were more
numerous than the Populists, while
heretofore the reverse has been the
case. n. f.. Acres was chosen chair.

from the two parties, each having
three representatives on each COM

of the morning session the committees
met and transacted the business in
trusted to them.
The Democratic County Central
Committee and the Democratic dele
gates also held meeting and elected
delegates to the district judicial con-
vention which meets in Chanute. The
call for the convention was not issued
until late, through a hesitancy as to
the use there might be in trying to
run man against Judge Stillwell.
Other county conventions indorsed
Judge Lapham, of Chanute, and so
Allen county Democrates got into
line with similar Endorsement. The
Populists had also failed to put up a
candidate and so they got together
and endorsed the same gentleman.
