THE REPUBLICAN
COUNTY CONVENTION.


court house, Saturday. It was the
most remarkable convention ever
held in Dodge City. It was remark
able in the fact that there was utmost
harmony and no strife whatever. A
toboggan slide was never better fitted
for its work than the conduct of the
convention Saturday. Everything
appeared to have been fabricated for
the occasion. It seemed as though
.Sutton's Paramount Ointment and
FitzgeraId's Imperial Balm had been
generously applied. The selection of
DR.. Crumbine as chairman, while the
doctor is not factionist, was appar-
emily suited. Old wounds we're not
opened; and while the convention
was not tame or listless, it had suff
cient spirit to move on briskly, and
only one hour and fifteen minutes
was occupied in the entire business of
the convention. This means harmo-
ey and quick work in the canvass
There will be no needless wrangling,
no soldering and no unnecessary
talk
We are glad to see the brethren
in such harmonious condition. "Be-
hold how good and how pleasant it is
for the brethren to dwell together in
unity"
The nominations were made by ac-
clamation.

for Probate Judge. Judge Finley

trict Clerk for two years.
J. G. Baird, the candidate for Dis
trict Clerk, is qualified in whatever

body is for Joe.

to be the strongest man which could
have been nominated.

ers the county ever had, and he zeal
ously guards the finances and expen
ditures of The county. Mr.. Brown is
popular with all classes of people.
The ticket fairly represents every
interest. The old settlers and the
old soldiers should be proud of the
ticket. Business men and citizens
generally endorse the selection, and
Republicans particularly will sup
port the ticket.
1t is fortunate that the Republicans
so long lacking in entire harmony
should get down to a solid basis and
unitedIy select and harmoniously en-
dorse a county ticket composed o
some of the best men of the county
There was the best of feeling il

fured feeling after the convention
