THE COUNTY
CONVENTION.
An Enthusiastic Body of Rep
resentative Republicans at
Great Falls NOminates the
Winning Ticket.

The republican county convention
held in Great Falls last Saturday
was composed of the ablest and best
men of Cascade county, representa-
tive of the various precincts, and
the results of their deliberations are
highly satisfactory. In marked con-
trast with the inglorious nondescript
performance of the democrats last
June, this was one o. the calmest,
most deliberative and considerate
bodies that ever represented a
political party in this county.
Nobody carried knife in his
boot or an TX up his
sleeve to cut and slash the ticket af-
ter the convention is ever, but by a
solid majority rule they put up a
ticket which is already striking fear
into the hearts of dem ocrats.
1t is true that Neihart did not Sc
cure the concession Of her modest
request. This result is considered
by some to tend to weaken the tick
ct. But the result is not surprising
when one considers the parvitude of
the republican vote at Neihart for
the last four years, AMI the fact that
the Neihart delegation did not work
hard for their claim Nobody at
Neihart has the office itch, while that
disease seems to be & fearful epi,
demic at the county seat. Geo.
Budge, the choice of the Neihart
delegation for Legislative honors
made splendid run, and this pre-
cinct ought to be proud of the rep
resentation thus made The plan of
his nomination however was carried
too long under somebody's hat. 1t
takes powerful draught and often
genuine New York draft, to carry
an eleventh hour candidate over the
rocks and shoals of county con-
vention to the safe haven of a place
on the official ballot.
The ticket nominated by the re
publicans is as follows:
For Representatives: A. 7. Elliott,
w. H. Pittwood and Frank Coombs
of Great Falls, lie wis Stockett of
Stockett, and K. r. Clingan of Belt.
For District Judge, R. w. Berry
of Great Falls.
For Clerk of the Court, John 7.
Athey of Great Falls.
For Treasurer, r. +. Mot Of Great
Falls.
For Sheriff, A. N. Reynolds of
Great Falls.
For Clerk and Recorder, G. II.
Mullery of Great Falls.
For Attorney, John A. l.argent OF
Great Falls.
For Assessor, Nat McGiffin OF
Sand Coulee.
For Auditor, J. w. Cummings Of
Sand Coulee,
For Surveyor, Jonn French oI
Great Falls.
For Superintendent of Schools, I
H. Cureton of Arlington.
For Coroner, J II. Fairfield, NJ
D., of Great Falls.
For Public Administrator, Thos
H Gillespie of Cascade.
For Commissioners, Edward Peter
son of Kibbey, F. d. Cooper of Cas-
cade, w. P. Beachley of Great Falls
This is g. list of stalwarts that will
be hard to beat. The strength o.
the ticket will be more and more
apparent as the campaign advances
The HERALD predicts that it will
carry Cascade county by hand
some majority.
The following resolutions were
adopted with ringing applause:

ty, Montana, in convention assemble d
