The Green Forest tribune., 1900-05-24

were suspended; a amass- -conven- tion organized; one of the THREE was elected chairman; ANOTHER secretary and the THIRD, dele gate, the proxy signed up, and given to Mir. Collier for delivery to Mir. Goudelock.
 Whether the mule participated in these proceedings, deponent doth not say. If he did, it was under compulsion, for no Carroll county mule would have done so except under great pressure. Osage.-W. R. Sneed, l.. H. Seitz, proxy for both, Reid Goudelock,
 Dry Fork.--Delegate unknown, proxy, Reid Goudelock.
 know nothing about the elec- tion of these delegates from Osage and Dry Fork, except that no delegates from either were elected on the day of the primary or un- der the call of the committee. | The fact that their proxies were secured for MT. Goudelock by Mr. Collier on the same day on which he secured those from Liberty and Piney, more than suggests that the SECURING PROCESS was SIMILAR if not IDENTICAL. In the absence of facts, the anal ogy is conclusive. If any mis- representation here, let Mr. Col Her tell all about it.
 Prairie.-N. c. Bunch, Enoch Smith, Reid Goudelock, J. P. Fancher. Neither Mr. Bunch nor MT. Smith wasin the convention. Their proxies were held by Goudelock and Fancher, but just how distributed, I do not know. No election under the call of the committee was held in this town ship. How were these gentlemen elected Inquiry at Berryville elicits the answer, "Reid Goude- lock CIRCULATED A PETITION HERE, and got FEW Democrats to sign it ENDORSING himself, Bunch, Smith and Fancher for dele gates. :" Who those "few Demo- crats" are, and how few, 1 do not know. This much, however, seems certain, the circle traversed by the petition was SMALL and not THOROUGHLY worked. Prominent Democrats living in the heart of Berryville knew nothing of it on the day of the convention. Per- haps Mr. Goudelock will tell us WHY the signers are "few,'' and WHY the circle was not larger.
 Hickory.-T. o. Walker, J. H. Ramsey, H. P. Burney, seated by the committee at the request of W. R. Phillips and r. o. Butt, no delegates having been elected.
 Long Creek.-No delegate was elected under call of the commit tee, but on Thursday, April 26th, just two days before the conven- tion, a meeting was held at Den- yer and E. c. Cooper was elected delegate. l am told no notice of this meeting had been previously given, and that it was attended by 12 or 15 electors.
 Polo.-No delegate was elected. Mr. J. c. Cole, being in town and learning that others were consti- tuting themselves delegates, con- stituted himself delegate from Polo, and gave his proxy to J. H. Ramsey. I am told, on reliable authority, that the committee on credentials thought seriously of NOT SEATING MT. Coles proxy.
 Omega.-A. Wilson. Promi- nent citizens of Omega know nothing of Mr. Wilson's election. I have found no one from that township who was at the election of delegates.
 Eureka Springs, 1st Ward W. A. Broad.
 No election was held in this ward on the day of the primary. How did Mr. Broad get his cre- dentials This question has been repeatedly asked at Eureka Springs and no one has been found who knows ANYTHING about it. A goodly number of people in his own ward would like to know, "How, WHERE, WHEN and by WHOM he was elected ?" Will bo to1l tham
