 n which met at Berryville last 4g, turday was neither so large 5@ .Sa. Enthusiastic as has been .o,, aracteristic of meetings of re- he ! s1 nf lblican complexion in this coun- { qq5s5 r5sl for Several years past. There " E %ere Between 30 aud 40,delegates etrss sesent, or 8 little more than half go Ne number that would have been
 ntitled to seats, according to the
 allwhich brought the conven- A,s on together.
 |, Postmaster c. B. Grim of Green ,,, 'orest, was made chairman of the gios aeeting and Prof. T. E. Phillips aq If Yocum was selected for secre- ,rs % ary.
 | Outside of the regular routine ror work, about the only business Da7 transacted was the naming of five
 delegates and five alternates to
 the State convention, which meets a:at Little Rock, June 26, and the so selec 6on of a new county central % %committee.
 " Gen. Clayton was present and ra addressed the convention in X speech of some thirty or forty
 minu tes, briefly reviewing poiti- cal conditions since 1896, touch- ing lightly upon state politics and ' stfongly urging harmony in the
 republican ranks of the county
 and state.
 \ The regulation resolutions
 Were offered by Postmaster Ben
 Rosewater of Eureka Springs,
 who has come to the convention
 ssloaded" in this respect for a good
 many years.
 It was essentially 8 harmonious
 meeting. There are a good many < republican voters in this county,
 However, who would like to see a
 new deal on Federal patronage in
 the state and q small current of this sentiment was apparent in ' seyeral delegates to this meeting;
 but there has been no great deal
 of cause for complaint in the ad-
 ministration of affairs pertaining
 to the government appointments ] in Carroll county, and this is the
 home county of Gen. Clayton, who { is not only 8 greatly distinguish ' ed national leader in republican
 Tanks but man who has per- Shaps done more for the growth
 and development of this part of
 the state than any other man,
 The people regardless of pol itics are proud of his citzenship 3Sand it is not nor has not been eX-
 pected that Carroll county repub-
 icans will repudiate his leader Aship.
