The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1902-07-25

ccfats IN In!S manner IL was but snort
step for the convention to administer a
chastisement to the Wichita Democrats
who have been conspiring to swallow
Sedgwick county Populism. and the con-
vention practically forced the candidates.
Democrats as we'll as Populists, TO take
their stand under the Populist flag. The
result will be that there will be no Dem
Ocratic ticket on the Official ballot This
assertion Of independence upon the part
of the Populists was not relished by the
Democrats, but they had to take their
medicine.
The platform adopted by the convention
IS radically different from those long
winded essays which aroused the patriot
ism Of the party followers a few years
ago The platform is almost wholly de-
voted to the tax question, and the old
time issues Of Populism are briefly dis
posed Of with a sentence voicing endorse
ment Of the last state platform.
The Democratic convention was almost
entirely devoid Of interest or point. The
only feature which furnished any amuse-
ment TO those on the inside of affairs
was the way in which the Fitch machine
rode over the insurgents" headed by
Captain Shields That leader was not
placed on one of the convention COM
mittees and his fiery speech in denun-
citation of Senator Tapp resulted only in
the adoption Of d resolution instructing
the senator TO vote for W. a. Harris
for the United States senate.
As predicted in the Eagle the Office Of
register of deeds was accorded TO the
Populists and J. T. Dorsey was left out
in the cold. The Office Of sherif was
given to the Democrats. TO the great dis
appointment Of PopuIist shrievalty candi-
dates
The other Offices named by the Populists
were district clerk. county attorney. coun-
y clerk. coroner and county superin-
tendent The Democrats. in addition to
naming the sheriff. named the probate
judge. the county treasurer and surveyor
The PopulIsts named Sae two country
representatives, and the commissioner.
while the Democrats named the city rep
resentative.
The only attempt to reproduce the old
time enthusiasm was made by Captain
Hawley. who, to use his words. "di-
crossed" while he was making a speech
nominating J. c. Robb for register OF
deeds. Though the old-time enthusiasm
was not manifested, Captain Hawley got
his man nominated and considered him
self repaid for his efforts.
County Commissioner Banentine was
renominated against strong protest. As
soon as he had been placed in nomina-
ton, Judge Sankey said: Gentlemen
we should not be hasty about this matter.
If you nominate Mr.. Ballentine, he will
be defeated. He has not given satisfac-
ton. The Office OF commissioner is the
most important Office in the county Ii
has TO do with our pocketbooks. We
should discuss these matters frankly.
This is a business matter. We should
nominate another man
II. c. Ruble was then placed in nom
nation and the nomination was seconded
by Judge Sankey. He was defeated, how.
ever. by a vote Of 81 70 IS.

gates present could cast the full vote.
The nomination Of candidates being the
next order OF business. Mr.. Watson u
Mount Hope named Fred Williams for
district clerk. who was nominated by ac-
clamatiOa-
Dr. M. A. Pratt placed ". A. Ayres in
nomination for county attorney. bot he
declined and Frank Nighswonger placed

ton. He was named BY acciamstlon-
Calvin Bayard placed William Sence in

for register Of deeds and have ever since
uniformly followed such practice until the
rule has become well established.
Whereas. 1t would be unwise to now
change or alter the rule more espec-
tally as we have been so successful with
il that the Republicans have been COM
PEELED TO adopt the same rule.
Whereas, AS IL has been reported
that the conference committee on the
division Of offices overlooked this estab-
lished precedence; now. therefore
Resolved. BY this convention that
while desiring the cooperation Of our
Democratic brethren. We deem II unwise
to change our custom and therefore
amend the report of the committee OF
conference pertaining to the office OF
register OF deeds.
The Introduction of this amendment
produced a debate, not only on the mer-
its of the question at issue. but also on
the powers Of the county committee.
s A Miller. in replying TO the speech
OF Mr. Sankey, said: I think the COM
mittee had power TO appoint the conferees
but the report is simply a recommenda-
ton. In regard to the office OF register
Of deeds il seems TO me that should the
resolution of Judge Ssnkey be adopted
il would knock out every reconmenda-
ton we have made. and that new
committee would have 70 be appointed.
think every man on the conference com
mittee was conscientious in his work
The Democrats can name an old soldier
There is dissatisfaction IN regard TO
some OF the POpulist candidates and
think the matter can be left with the
Democrats
Capt Hawley raised the point that the
conference committee had exceeded its
authority when II appointed \. G Fisher
ac one of the conferees.
After a great deal more debate the
resolution offered by Judge Sankey car
ried.
BY this time a conference committee
had arrived from the Democratic conven-
ton The Populist convention referred
the whole matter of a division back to
the old committee. J. V. Colville declined
to serve, as he felt that the original re-
port should not have been rejected He
was forced to serve, however. Great care
was taken that Charles Goodyear should
serve on this committee instead Of =. c.
Fisher, the substitute.
At Il o'clock the convention adjourned
until 100 O'Clock.

Sweet Sixteen Social.

The Sweet Sixteen social, given
by the ladies of the Presbyterian
church at the church parlors last
Friday evening was grand sue,
cess in every particular. There was
"a large attendance and there was
no dullnoss in the atmosphere. The
program was a very enjoyable one.
The drill by 10 l6-year-old girls in
costumes of the nations was novel
and most pleasing feature. The
evolutions, maneuvors and appro-
pirate songs pleased the audience con.
tinually and elected frequent ap-
plause. There was a male quartet
by MesSrs Coe, Van Dyke, Mensch and
Booth, recitation by Miss johnson,
and ladies quartet by the Parker
sisters, each number demanding an
encore. After the program memory
test was given in which tho priced was
gained by Willie Booth.
A handsome little souvenir cook
book was given to each one attending.
Books and home made candies were on
sale. The evenings receipts amount.
ed to about $40

Christie Farm Sold.

The Christie home place, situated
on Rogue river some four or Ave
miles below town, has been purchased
by Eisman Bros, for consideration
of $1,000. They have assumed posses.
sion Of tho place, with the exception
of the buildings and they will not
take possession of these until March 1.
This place contains SO acres aud is
situated in the heart of the little val
ley just below Grants Pass This land
is extremely fertile and seems to be
peculiarly adapted to the growth of
fruits and vegetables. Most of the
watermelons which have mado Grants
Pass famous in that line are raised in
this immediate vicinity. Apples,
pears, peaches, prunes aud all other
fruits grown in this climate, produce
abundantly and with excellence. All
kinds OF vegetables grow well and
some of them attain immense size.
The soil is sandy loan, and its fer
tility is seemingly inexhaustible.

Our School Grows

The school board has obtained from
the city council the use of the Fire
mems hall as a school room and this
will be fitted up and teacher in.
stalled as soon rs possible. The
present accommodation are altogether
insufficient and if all of those enroll
ed attended every day, they could not
be seated. AS it is, with a few stay
ing out each day, by judicious squeez-
ing and shifting around. the remainder
may be seated. The enrolment this
year is appreciably greater than ever
before and is now only trifle short
of 500, The rapid increase of pupils
makes it evident that new school
house is necessity that cannot be de-
ferred much longer.
