Senators Are Nominated.

The convention heartily endorsed Mr.
PattersOn's idea, and his motion TO
adopt the plan was carried. The sec
ond ballot was finished in much short
er order than the first. Much work
had been done among the delegates
but there was no nomination when the
totals were announced. They were as
follows: For Sherman $50: for Dave
Ter, 156; for Mackey. III; for Wester-
Welt. Il; for Sears 81.
1t was plain that either Daveler or
Sherman would be nominated and then
the real scrap between the Brown and
Lannan forces began. Daveler was
lampOoned as the Lannan candidate
while it was generally understood that
Sherman stood for Brown Senator

vote went forward it was seen that the

WORK OF NOMINATING.
Balloting for Senators and Repre-
sentatives in Afternoon.

Chairman Nye called the afternoon
session to order at o'clock. He first
desired to announce that the first floor
Of the Theatre had been reserved for
delegates only, and he therefore re-
quested people who were there merely
as spectators or in the interest of can
didates to move out: There was no
gneral exodus, the confusion in the
parquet and dress circle being as gen
eral as before.
Prayer by Chaplain John Henry
Smith was next declared in order. Mr.
Smith was not in the building. how
ever, and Mr.. Nye declared that that
with. Son George \. objected TO this
and suggested that in the absence OF
his father, Moses w. Taylor be re-
quested to offer a petition. The sug
gestion took the form of motion and
Mr.. Taylor briefly invoked Dinvine
guidance on the deliberations of the
convention.
Nominations for three state senator
ships now came on. Everybody seemed
loaded with "a man who and for
three-quarters of an hour the flood was
unchecked. Judge c. F. LOOfbOurOw

Long MINDED Speaking.
There were many seconding speeches.
Almost every district on behalf Of a
delegation divided or otherwise. wished
to second the nomination of some
sterling PARROT" II somebody hadn't
moved to proceed to ballot they would
have been seconding for a day or two
Before the vote could be proceeded
with Delegate Patterson made the
somewhat original motion that as the
Seventeen and Seventy districts
were unrepresented. the Sixty ninth be
allowed to cast their vote. The motion
was received with derision and was
tabled without debate.
Under the cumbersome method of
voting provided for by the report of
the committee on permanent Organiza-
ton, the taking of the ballot was ex-
tremely tedious. The First district was
especially slow. Finally a delegate
from the Sixteenth shouted: Il want
this convention to understand that we
work for the Rio Grande Western. and
when we don't work we don't get paid.
Let's hurry up and get through"
Finally all the districts reported to
the secretary and were read by Ralph
Guthrie to the convention. Lawrence
and Love went through handsomely
the vote showing totals of 35S for Law
renee, 2S9 for Love, 1874 for Sherman, 169
for DaVeler, 167 for Mackey, 155 for
Sears and 90 for Westervelt.
After the Love and Lawrence men
had had time to work off some enthu-
siasm, the second ballot was ordered
1t had not begun when Mr.. Patterson
who had viewed with disgust the length
of time taken on the first, moved that
the voting system be changed. He
asked that the districts be called and
the secretary, without going through
the tedious process of sending the
votes up and then having them read
of.

A Bloodless Conflict.

A bloodless conflict arose as to the
casting of four ballots for the Thirty
fifth by Mr. Haslam of the Thirty-first.
Haslam said he had the vote from his
neighbor to announce after it had been
cast, while Lippman. who objected
maintained that Haslam had tried TO
40 the voting himself by proxy. The

cupied this same position in extending
help to Aguihaldo and his band of
cut-throats in the Philippines.
Touching on local affairs. the major
said it had come to his ears that there
was an undercurrent in the county to
knife the ticket if certain men were
not put up. This was true Of both
parties. 1t is all right Of the Demo-
Gratis, said the speaker; it is in line
with their policy; but he hoped there
would be no Republican so low and
mean as to stooD to such tactics.

Major Grant, and should be fought to
the last ditch. We must stand by the

George NJ. Cannon moved the appoint
ment of the three customary commit

AT THE MORNING SESSION.
Convention Organizes Permanently
and Adopts Platform.


The morning session was called to
order by County Chairman D. c. Eich-
nor at 9:45, with about half the dele
gates In their seats. He at once in
troduced Major F. A. Grant, the tenn
pcrary chairman OF the convention;
George A Smith, the secretary, and
Miss Lillian Cutler, the assistant secre-
tary.
Major Grant was greeted with scat
tering applause. He thanked the con-
ton for the honor, said he was proud
TO I'LL the position, and proud that he
was a Republican. The major then
jumped into the civil war of 1861-1S65.
1t was all right for Democrats to deco
rate their convention halls with the
flag, he said, but it must be remem-
bered that it was the Republican party
that made IL the flag of the nation
Il have sympathy and respect for
the Democrats of the SOUTH said Ma
JOr Grant, who tried to cut loose from
the nation and set up a flag of their
own; have great respect for those
Democrats who marched shoulder to
shoulder with the men who saved the
nation; but have the utmost contempt
for those northern Democrats who
would not cross Mason and Dixon's line
and fight like men, but who extended
aid and sympathy to the rebels

The Morning Olympian, of Olym-
pia, had the following after the per-
formance of this show in that city:
"A clean, refined, up-to- date, ex-
celent show is the verdict of every
one who attended the performance
of Beach & Bowers minstrels at
Olympia theater last night, and the
house was pretty we'll filled at that.
There was not dull period during
the entire performance, and it
would appear sufficient to state that
the advance notices of the company
did not in the least overstate its
merits. The specialties, as a VIII Die,
were as good as were ever seen in
Olympia theater The company
possesses one feature that added
greatly to the pleasure of the even
ing, and that was the fact that the
performance was continuous, not a
single wait between scenes being in
evidence during the evening. The
"funny business was all new and
of a superior order, at times almost
convulsing the audience Don Cor
don, the bicyclist; Harry Freeman
and the Smith brothers, the anus
ing acrobsts; the Kenno-La Barre
trio in their high class comedy ac-
robatic act, and the troupe of per-
forming dogs were features that
were excellent and were a show in
themselves. Beach Il Bowers min
strels deserve good houses wherever
they appear"

Petitions Forwarded.

The petitions which were circu
lated for signature throughout this
grain growing section at the in
stance of a committee of Pullman
citizens, asking the various railroad
lines to make special or emer-
gency rate on grain to eastern mar
kets, were forwarded to the heads
of the three respective roads this
week.
The matter of securing the sig
natures to these petitions was taken
up with vim in the various local
tiles to which they were sent, as
the need for this relief, and the
ease with which the railroads could
grant it if they would, was plainly
evident to all. To the three petit
tions, one each to the Northern Pa
citic, Great Northern, and O. r. &
n. railways, total of 1884 names
were attached, the combined peti-
tions being 312 feet long, or each
one 1O4 feet long, making this re-
quest to the railroads a general
one.

Fatally Injured in Runaw ay.

w. f. Colegrove, a laboring man
about 55 or 60 years of age, who
has been working in this vicinity
for the past two or three years, was
probably fatally injured yesterday
morning in a runaway. He had
been hauling wheat for S. G. Meek
lem, and was just returning to the
Mecklem farm, driving a four-horse
team, when the accident occurred.
When near the Savage place, three
miles from town, the team driven
by Celegrove was frightened by an
other team running away behind
them. Colegrove lost control of
his team, and was thrown from the
high seat at narrow bridge be-
tween the Savage and G.. N. Henry
farms. He was dragged some dis
tance, and the wheels passed over
his head, fracturing the skull at
the base, and inficting injuries
which the doctors pronounce fatal.
The injured man was brought to
town, and Doctors White and Ma
guire labored faithfully to allay his
suffering.
Colegrove had been around Pull.
man more or less for the past three
years, but so far as known has no
relatives or intimate friends in the
country.
LATER.-Colegrove died of his in
uries at about two o'clock yester-
day afternoon.
