( chairman, who on assuming the gavel
! announced that he had no set speech to
offer for the occasion but in general he
appealed TO tbs conention to act In the
spirit of patriotism and harmony to the
end that the best results might be
reached next November. a colored del
egate from Lincoln county nominated
! John W. Capers, Of Logan county, for
I temporary secretary and Frank Greer, of
Logan county nominated Charley Z
Hunter Of Garfield county for assistant
secretary. There was no opposition to
either and they were elected by accla-
mation.

to which the Rough Rider and erstwhile
Free Silver Republican said: I'm at
home here This is where 1 belong.
was born here and hope to die here. 1t

inasmuch as there IS no solar plexus
blow for prodigals, thank you"
Mr.. Grimes moved that each delegate
| proceed to name a member on each COM
mittee on resolutions and committee on
l
/ point a committee Of five on permanent
organization. Frank Greer moved as an
amendment, that each committee be COM
posed of one delegate from each county,
urging that this was 81 the nature of a
mass convention and he would Ike to see

ritory as possible. Further argument on
this point was stopped by Mr. Grimes,
who said: 81 accept the amendment"
The roll Of counties was then called
and there was no interruption in the an
nouncement Of committeeman until Wood
ward county was reached. A delegate
announced that there was a consisting
delegate in that county and recommended
that neither delegate be allowed to name
a member Of the committee on credentials
until the contest should be settled. Each
faction, however, was permitted 70 name
members of the other two committees.
On resolutions the Regulars" named
George Broply and the Virgins faction
named Harry Smith. On permanent or
ganization the Regulars" named Eli
Hecker and the other side put forward
Ed Virgins.
The snarl in the Woods county dele
cation took up considerable time before
an agreement was reached. There was
no contest as to who should be named
! as members of the committee on reso-
lutions and committee on permanent or
! ganizatiOn, but A. II. Grissler one Of the
| delegates, made an attack upon A J.
Ross who had been named on the Gre
| dentals com n4ittee. He charged that
Ross had not been regularly selected for
a place on the committee and offered TO
substitute the name Of ]. S. Sites as
member of the credentials committee, AMI
in support of his substitute demanded a
poll of the Woods county delegation The
chairman ruled the motion out Of order.
