The foregoing ticket was nominated
by the democrats yesterday afternoon
and John P Hopkins was reelected
chairman of the state committee after
a bitter contest, with Garter H. Har-
Tison of Chicago. The election of
Hopkins was the only fight in the con-
vention, but it was stirring enough to
make up for the tameness in other
proceedings.
The day was full of clashes between
Hopkins and Harrison. They INDUCED
in acrimonious q1larrels in the hotel
during the morning. Later the Harri-
sonites beat Hopkins in the district
caucuses for state committeeman,
electing Thomas J. McNally of Chica-
go in his stead The Harrison forces
were jubilant, claiming Hopkins was
beaten beyond all redemption, but the
committee by the majority of three
recommended Hopkins selection. A
minority report favoring Harrison was
made, and the fight was carried to the
floor of the convention. The struggle
produced Wild excitement. Lmpas-
stoned speeches were made in favor
of both Representatives and adherents
of both men cheered or jeered iac-
cording to their approval or dislike
of the speakers attitude. Every ora
tor was received with wild applause
and tumultuous boots. He lacked
nothing either way. The delegates at
times were frantic and highly personal
criticisms were frequently engaged in.
The convention voted down the minor
ity report and adopted the majority,
$50 to 397.

A Small Fire.

No one expected the fire engine
to be called into active service so
soon after being installed. About
9 o'clock on Friday night last a
fire alarm was echoed and re-echo-
ed along our streets. The home of
Eldred Green, near the trestle, was
found to be on fire. AS soon az the
alarm broke the stiffness of the
night nearly dozen strong and
brave men made a dash for the
chemical engine which was housed
in front of Grice & Watson's sta
BILE. Among the young men being
Joe Eve Minis: Walter Samuels,
Will Covar, Henry Watson, Wal
lace Tompkins, John Faulkner,
Hiram Lowe and others, who in
in the tuinkling OF all eye were
maxine for the scene of the fie
by leaps and bounds drawing the
chemical" behind them.
When the fire laddies arrived,
after run of nearly a mile, The
entire roof of the building was
ablaze, some of it falling in. The
hose was turned on and the flames
were NOW, d down by the contents
of tho engine wherever the fire
could be reached. 1t was burning
between the ceiling and roof con-
sequently it was fought under a
very great disadvantage.
The fire was almost entirely ex-
tinguished but the supply of chem
ical in the engine became exhaus-
ted and the well OH the premises
was only a hole in the ground
we'll without water-consequent-
ly the fire again made rapid head
way in spite of all efforts to"outen"
it.
Two things have been conclu-
sively shown by the fire. First,
that the engine will do all that
has been claimed for it. The case
in point was a crucial test and it
did all that could be expected of it
ander the existing circumstances.
Second. the one thing 'aeedtitl now
is a set of trained men to manage
it properly so as to accomplish the
most good possible in the shortest
time possible.
The council should at once call
for 10 or IL volunteers whose duty
shall be to take charge Of the en-
gine and become skilled in it's use.
Let this volunteer fire company
feel responsible for charging the
engine and for its prompt appear
ance at a fire. Unless some indi1
vidual or set of individuals assume
the responsibility it will not b}
done. Delay in arranging these de
tails is dangerous; fire, very dis:
astrous in its consequences, is liza
BILE to break out any time, coming
as a thief in the night.
