THE NOMINATIONS


After the preliminary arrangements
had been disposed of. the chairman
called for nominations for two repre-
sentatlves in the state legislature.
The first nomination was tnat of Jo-
han Il, Young, which was made by
John c. McCue. Professor MeCue
stated that he came before the conven-
tion as young man espousing the
cause Of young man. There had been
some criticism. he said. from various
sources. of the appearance of the young
man in politics in this county, but he
could see no reason why youn6 men
should be excluded from any Of the
offices which the people could bestow.
The history Of events, he said. had
proven beyond a doubt that the yigor
Of youth had cut an important figure
in the course Of human and political
events. He supported the well-ground-
ed theory that an old fool was the most
dangerous kind Of fool, and conclud-
ed with an eloquent endorsement of
Mr., Youngs past career and an argu-
ment in behalf Of young blood among
those in the list of candidates.
c, w. Fulton then took the floor to
nominate F. r. Stokes. Mr.. Stokes.
he said, was man who had made
a great success in his private affairs
and gave every evidence Of man Of
excellent ability. He had always been
active and enthusiastic in public mat
ters pertaining to the city, county and
state and was, therefore, one Of the
most substantial men that could be
named for the office.
Mr., Fulton took occasion to state
that the intimation had been passed
that Mr.. Stokes was a democrat.
Mr. Stokes was, at one time mem
Der of the democratic party" said
Mr.. Fulton, but long time ago he
saw the error of his way and came
over to the respectable society of the
republican party"
r. A. Abbott of Seaside arose to
nominate "a man who was always
republican. and who would make a
most popular candidate, not only with
the republicans, but with the people
at large-James W. Welch." Mr..
Welch declined,

A Strange Coincidence In the Life off
Fireman.
''Soon after / entered the fire depart
ment remarked hostler of the city
fire department, ''it was my hard luck
in responding to an, alarm to run over
and terribly injure a small boy, who
was playing in the street. 1t was an
unavoidable accident, but just the same
it had its effect upon me, and for
time it preyed heavily on my mind and
probably would have done so until to-
day had it not been for the sequel.
which righted up matters somewhat.
81 kept myself pretty well informed
as to the condition Of the boy, and was
extremely happy when saw him ON
the streets again and to all appearances
fully recovered from the injury which l
had inflicted upon him. Well. time
passed along, and, the boys family hav-
ing moved from the house where he re-
sided and where we took him after the
injury, for awhile did not see him,
though occasionally heard from him.
zone rather rough night about a
year afterward our company responded
to analarm in the northwestern part OF
the city. On arriving at the FIRE was
sent to one of the upper rooms Of the
burning building to rescue some chill
dren who were in the room and who
were terribly frightened. as they had
good reasons to be, for they were in
considerable danger. There was light
burning in the room. and the moment
entered it recognized the little fell
low that had driven over and injured.
If there ever was little fellow who
was carefully wrapped up in bedclothes
and with his little sister taken down
stairs and to a place of safety, you can
bet it was that boy and girl The same
look of fright was upon his face, which
had not forgotten, but don't think
my face looked as bad as when had
picked him up in my arms before. I
was supremely happy In being able to
return some good for the i'll had done
him. Washington Star.

Republicans will knife the Republican
candidates; all of which indicates that
the Democrats never have un-
derstood, and apparently never
will understand the purposes
Of the Republican and Union Re
publican voters. When the State Com
mittees Of the two Republican organi-
cations made an agreement to stand
by and support the ticket headed by
John Hum, they bound the voters in
the same agreement, for the commit
teemen represented the voters, and
were clothed with full power to act.
Let not our Democratic brethren fret
themselves about Republican intentions.
1t will pay them much better to watch
the knives which hang from the belts
Of some of their own chieftains. ard
the scalp-locks Of some of their ambi-
tious braves.

ERADICATE NM "GRAETERS0

Whatever differences Of opinion on
Questions in general may exist among
those Republicans and Union Republi-
cans who ran for office on Saturday,
all agree that the present system of
holding primary elections should be
modified in such manner as will pro-
tect candidates in the future against
the exactions of "grafters" and others
who prey upon them for weeks before
the election and up to the very time Of
the closing Of the poIs.
Many good men are deferred from
becoming candidates because they
cannot stand the expense Others
plunge in, spend all their own money,
borrow more from their friends and
spend it, and then, perhaps, lose it all
forever by the count going against
them. Even those who win the nOmi-
nations look back with regret to the
great expense they we're put to to win
the prize. There are cases known in
this county where the expense of nomi-
nation and election exceeded the
emoluments of the offices obtained.
Every year adds to the cost Of OBJ
tanning a nomination, and aspirants
and their friends should set themselves
to work to eradicate the "grafters"
and others OF their kind who exact toll
from everyone and give but little in
return.

SIX MILES 10 IHE RnnIH

IL Is not surprising that the people
of Delmar are indignant that their vot-
ing place is I'm Laurel, six miles away.
Demar is a town OF considerable size.
and its people are both intelligent and
enterprlsing. To compel them to ride
or walk six miles to vote their santi-
ments is a fragrant insult which is re-
sented. as the following warning in the
Delmar American demonstrates:
Whoever would be elected to the
Legislature from this district, either
Republican or Democrat, had better as
certain the sentiment with respect to
a. voting place in Delmar. The party
or man that opposes this measure goes
down to defeat on election day. We
have long suffered this outrage that
was cast upon us in dividing the hun
dred, giving Laurel two voting places
and De.mar nothing. A man must
walk, ride or pay his fare on train, six
miles to Laurel TO cast his vote OF not
at ali. The sentiment for a voting
place here is unanimous and must be
respected.
We would advise the voters dowr
there to get their grievances redresset
by voting the Republican ticket.
