 These are the gentlemen whom mis-
 guided democrats will follow to defeat
 next November. The ticket was nom
 mated yesterday with a rush. No
 time was taken for deliberation, but
 after all, there was nothing to delib-
 crate about. The ticket, with the eX-
 ception of the candidates for treasurer
 and district attorney, had been made
 up after o'clock on Wednesday. Dem
 ocrats agree that it is generally a weak
 one, though fairly strong in spots. But it was the best that could be con- structed in the circumstances. It is a part of the price paid by the Smith people for control of the convention for one day and for control of the county
 organization for two years. One mem- Der, however, the candidate for sher if, is monument of q factions grati-
 tude. He performed a service for Will son on Wednesday afternoon which al
 most, but not quite turned the tide. Though it was ineffectual the intent was taken fer the performance, and when Sanders, the regular candidate of the friends of Col Wilson for sheriff, withdrew a considerable part of his support went to Stout. This, together with his own strength and what he naturally absorbed of the disinte gra ting support of other candidates
 was enough. Thus Walker, whose
 nomination seemed certain until the
 middle of the afternoon of Wednesday, was defeated. Sacrifices made by cer Jain elements of the Smith faction were contributory to MT Walkers downfall. When H. M. Willis was unexpectedly defeated by J. H. Langston for the
 nomination for probate judge the sus- picion that the Smith people had been tampering with the Wilson county can didates was strengthened, and when 1 Neri Osborn, who lad been regarded as certain nominee for recorder, went down befsre Frank McFall, sus- | piciOn blOOmed into certainty. So it | Franspired that no man who was close | ly identified with MT. Smith got any
 thing; that is. anything in the way of
 a nomination. The opposition to Will
 son "cts the organization. UNFINISHED BUSINESS. l The county convention was blocke d | for half an hour by unfinished business | of the Smith Wilson convention of the ! day and nighr before. The report of l the committee appointed to apportion

 THE COUNTIES BUSINESS. | Having apparently disposed of the affairs of Hon. Marcus A. Smith and | Col. J. F. Wilson, the business Of nominating candidates for the county offices was taken up. w. J. LeBaron ! introduced a precautionary resolution binding candidates for the legis- lature, whoever they might be, in the improbable event of their election, to frOwn upon an attempt at county 'ii" vision. The resolution was adopted, but later in the day when J. D. Loper, just before the order of business of se- lecung legislative timber was begun. offered another resolution requiring candidates to pledge themselves under the LeBaron resolution, he was hooted and laughed at.
 The convention changed the order of business placing the nomination of
 candidates for the legislature at the bottom and proceeded to the selection of d candidate for sheriff. s. Stout
 was placed in nomination and so long
 period of silence ensued that s. P.
 Clark arose and said he understood
 that there were to be no other candi- dates. He therefore moved that the
 nominations close and that MT. Stout
 be chosen by acclamation. This speech
 developed other candidates. J. F.
 Walker was put in nomination by Yer
