4REpUslleAn coUnry oonvEnTlon:
The republican county convention.
held last Wednesday was quite well
attended on account Of the threatened
struggle between the Valentine and
Eddy supporters. But as Athe word
had gone out from Mark Hanna that
all congressman who sacrificed prin.s
ciple and the wishes of their constit-
uents in order to stand by the presi-
dent must be renominated, the contest
did not materialize. The convention
was called to order by O.. Jorgen o.
SOB, and Z. o. Thorpe was chosen
temporary chairmen and L. E. Covell,
temporary secretary. This was after
wards made the permanent organiza-
tion. The following were appointed
as committee on credentials: John
Feig, G. II. Engen, J. Ed Nelson, G.
E. Monson, and G. A.. Glader. A
number of motions, amendments and
substitutes were offered concerning q
committee on resolutions, but neither
of them seemed to suit the chairman,
so he sat down on the whole batch.
A. F! Nordin was then called on for a
speech. He responded with an elo-
quent panegyric of the old democratic
party. He alluded touchingly to the
resemblance between the American
eagle and the eagle Of Rome, the sym
boil OF conquest and subjugation He
said that "no greater man, no more
eminent scholar or statesman ever
occupied the presidential chair than
the one that occupies it now," and he
actually managed to look as serious
as If he really meant it. Incidentally
he worked off couple of seventeenth
century stories, and the audience had
to grin and bear it.
The committee on credentials then
