REPUBLICANS MEET,
A Hot Time In the Old
Town Last Night.

The Republicans of Ormsby county
met last evening in the District Court
room. AS q result there was q spilling Of
gore and the use Of hot and hasty Ian
guage. The meeting was in the nature of
farce-ccmedy. laughable to Democrats
and Silvermen aud disgustable to most
Republicans.
At the outset motion was made that
committee Of five be appointed to select
delegates to the county convention. This
motion elected the disgust Of Attorney
| Dupuis, who withdrew as candidate for
District Attorney, claimed he was being
! 'jobred" and referred to f. f. Roberts,
also a candidate for District Attorney, as
carpet hagger.'' After considerable
wrangling the motion was carried, the
committee appointed and a recess of five
! minutes was taken to allow the latter to
name delegates.
During the intermission Attorneys
Dupuis and Roberts came to blows and
had given each other several hard knocks
before they were finally separated. Thefe
| is always perfect harmony when Repub-
One Republican was heard to say that
| the meeting was disgrace to the city,
and that it was the rankest affair he had
ever attended"
| The air was still blue when the meet
ing re-convened. Prof. Roberts in very
neat little speech apologized for creating
ing any disturbance, but said he woult
do the same thing again under similar
circumstances.
