Notes of the Convention.

1t looked like rough house for
time.
Even as much as assessor was not
granted the organ.
You are liar,'' There was no
mistaking the language.
MCGUIRE received the Day strength
for assessor. But he failed to con
meet.
suffering people would like to
know what the Democratic nominee
for assessor has ever done for LA
Plata county?
The defeat of Frank Rivers for
sheriff was body-blow to the Day
faction. Mccartney is almost as bit
ter Il pill as Frank Wride.
Three men inserted cards in The
Democrat announcing their candidacy.
The mere suggestion of contamina
tion thus shown proved fatal.
The only man who cheered when
Weaver was defeated was represent
ative from The Democrat office. The
assertion otherwise is wrong.
Harmony was not so thick Saturday
afternoon but what it could be cut
with knife. And there has been no
perceptible cementino of broken ties
since.
The protest filed by Gus Stuck
man. Campion and others brought out
the fact that Campion is quite an Or
ator. and that Stuckman was NOT
trailing in the Day wagon.
After Coston, A. Il. Reece was the
Democrats candidate for county
clerk. Mr.. Reece was led to believe
he had n large following by the paper.
but Days support proved fatal. and he
received only six votes on the first
ballot.
Friends of Briengar warned him
some ten days or two weeks ago that
he must steer clear of Day If he wish
ed to succeed. II is also said that he
did 1t, but could not get people to un-
derstand that such was the case. 1t

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
The Proceedings Harmonious from
Beginning to End.

The Republicans wound up their
business with harmony yesterday af-
lernoon, aud every delegate depart
ed feeling that success was in sight
II was an old-time convention. In
fact. 1t was more than this. II was
the largest gathering of Republicans

THE PoPULiST TICKET.

The Populists nominated Saturday
are considered first-class men in all
respects, and there is no question but
that hundreds of dissatisfied Demo
Gratis will vote the ticket, and 1t is
thought by some that the Pop ticket
will run ahead of the Democratic con-
glomeration. At any rate. the Pop
lists have reason to feel proud of
their nominees.

1t was after O'Clock Saturday
when the nomination for clerk took
place, and The Herald was compel
led to go to press without waiting for
the other nominations and what be-
came the exciting part of the con
vention.
The next office in line was that of
commissioner. Al. Pace. Fred Tick
son. ]. b. Bennett and Gus Stuckman
the latter the Democrats candidate
were placed in nomination. On the
first ballot Pace received Al, Tickson
32. Bennett 10 and Stuckman 6. The
second ballot Pace walked away with
the baggage, receiving So to 81 for
TicksOn. Stuckman being skunked
Tickson was supported by the labor un-
ion people. the eastern part of the
county voting for Pace.
The next on the list was county
judge. There were four candidates.
W. A. Reese. c. Il. Morgan, William
Degenhardt, Barrie Sullivan. The
first ballot was surprise, Degen-
hardt showing great strength. Reese
received 20. Sullivan 23, Degenhardt
20 and Morgan 13. The next ballot
was as follows: Reese 43. Sullivan
26, Morgan 10. and our German friend
Mr. Degenhardt dropped down to 4
Some one moved to make the nomina
tion unanimous. The motion was put
and apparently carried unanimously,
but there was one objector. and aris
ing. the Hon. Chas A. Johnson threw
back his auburn locks and said: Mr.
Chairman: You failed to call for the
nays on the proposition of making
the nomination of Mr.. Reese unani.
nous. j want to say that you have
nominated traitor to the Democrat
ic party for county judge, a man who
last fall was removed from the chair
manship of the county central com
mittee for traitorism. and for one
vote mo- against making his nomina
ton unanimous"
The chairman endeavored to call
Mr.. Johnson to order. but the ora
torical gentleman of the retrograding
party would not be called to order.
He said he was In "a Democratic con-
vention and was going to be heard.
After denouncing Reese in other YER
biage he turned his finger towards
Barrie Sullivan and said; There
sits u man whom you have honored
with good vote who is a Republican,
who last fall betrayed the Democrat
ic party for Republican gold and is
not entitled to consideration at the
hands of Democratic convention"
While this charge was being made
Mr.. Sullivan sprang to his feet, and
shaking his hands. and with his long
silken black locks standing on end,
shouted in language that could not be
misinterpreted or misunderstood for
plainness: ''You are a liar!"
Mr.. Johnson was not disturbed by
the epithet. and said 1t was true. just
the same. and wound up by saying:
Gentlemen of the convention. your
action in this matter is damnable."

DEMURRER WAS SUSTAINED
Crist Damage suit Ends suddenly in
District Court

The suit of E. J. Crist against the
Wichita Gas, Electric Light and Power
company came to q sudden close yester-
DAY after the plaintiff had presented its
evidence and when c. H Brooks for the
defendant company fled a demurrer to
the testimony of the plaintiff, which was
sustained by the court. A motion for
a new trial was filed at once by Adams
& Adams. which viii be argued at some
future date
The plaintiff tried to show that DOC"
Evans, in his capacity as foreman for
the company, was a co-principal in the
conuibutary negligence of the defendant
Crisis conteation was that Evans being
the foreman, he was compelled to obey
his injunchons at ALI times Houston
& Brooks set up the defense that Evans
was only a fellow workman, and conse-
Quently if Crist obeyed mis- instructions
the company was not responsible. as he
had no right to dictate.
Three witnesses were examined by the
plaintiff they being Howard Schroeder
Tom Murphy and Roy Davis all Of them
former electricians. Their evidence was
given as to the manner of cutting live
wires. They stated that it was a very
dangerous matter to attempt to cut a
live wire Immediately after a rain unless
the current had first been turned off
IL was at the conclusion Of their evil
dence that the attorneys for the com
pany demurred. because, as they alleged
the fact has not been established that
the company has been negligent.
The action was for $4,000 damages al
legged to have been sustained in 1899. Crist
had been sent to cut a live wire that
had become grounded IN front of lines
establishment He telephoned the COM
pany 10 cut of the current and then
mounted the pole to perform his duty
The current had not been cut of. and
when the wire cutters were applied
Crist sustained a shock that held him
fast
when the company finally cut off the
current Crist fell to the ground. and
upon examination it was found that the
palm of his hand had been SO badly
burned that it became necessary TO dis
sect it,
Crist is so years old and single.
