Convention Snapshots.

The boys took their medicine witt
children crying for Castoria.
George Lilly tried to head off John
Phillips by announcing his candidacy
four years in advance
Lilly said Manley dealt in fox
hounds, but handled "beadles" and
bird dogs.
The appearance of Wiley the Simple
came very nearly giving Guy Prichard
stage fright.
Professor Barnes rung in a little
psychology on the convention. His
dissertation on "the intellect, sensibil-
tiles and will" fell on barren soil, how
ever, as according to the statement of
delegate on his way home, the intel
lect of the convention was nothing to
boast of, the sensibilities of several
members were blunted by booze, and
they had no will except that furnished
by the "ring.''
One visitor said: me didn't tend
to come, but me was give a ticket at
Fairmont dis mornin' and so me come
just fer fun. Mes a Republican, but
me always split the ticket for some
few people"
When the band played Dixie" a fell
low didn't have to look at his geogra-
ply to realize that he was in a Demo-
cratic convention south of Mason and
DiXon's line.
Glen Shaver looked as if he felt like
kicking himself for getting out of the
way when he saw how easy Lowe got
there. .7-
1t was not strenuous convention,
the candidates were all too well pleas
ed to see the other fellows get there.
George Lilly's face will not shine
brighter when he becomes an angel
than it did when Manley was declared
the nominee.
1t was the least pretentious conven-
tion ever held in Marion county. viii!
Ice touched off the only real live po-
litical speech of the. day: It is too
bad that the common people like Bryan
SO well, and the Parker fellows hate
him so much.
It would have seemed q little more
like a convention of some Importance

OH, THAT
THUSE: !! !!
If THE BLOWOUT LAST NIGHT,
GIVEN BY THE RETURNING
DELEGATES is A SAMPLE
OF DEMOCRATIC EN-
THUSiASM. OH MY!

The local Democrats tried to stir up
enthusiasm last evening when Scott
G. Lowe and Chas. E. Manley, candi-
dates for prosecuting attorney and
sheriff, arrived home, but the under
taking was almost an ignominious
failure. The Greater Fairmont band
met the candidates at the depot and
less than twenty people marched with
the band to the Manley Hotel. where it
was the intention to have the air split
with oratory. But alas, such could
not be, for the speakers had shot their
wads at Warrington and, as the crowd
at the Manley was composed of the.
returning delegates, the same speeches
were out of place.
The main feature was the rendering
of Dixie" by the band. which
brought forth several cheers from the
representatives of the Southern De-
mocracy, in whose vocabularies the
word yankee" still holds a promi-
nent place.
In the excitement the candidates
were forgotten and Tusca Morris was
called upon for a speech. He knew
better, and refused. Later, the speak
ers were arranged on the second story
veranda and J. Walter Barnes compar-
ed the Warrington convention to the
one at st. Louis, and introduced c. E.
the worst beaten candidate
in the history of the county. Manley
said no one was drunk at the conven-
ton and then Little Boy Lowe thank
ed the delegates for the nomination.
Vincent and Lilly. happy because they
were not nominated. promised to sup
port the ticket, Vincent after the style |
IF Jefferson. and Lilly with his bird |
dog. The gathering then unceremo-
liously considered itself adjourned.

came Will Ice, a stone cutter, fresh
from the ST. Louis convention, got off a
regular W. J. Bryan speech and placed
Seymour Mcintyre in nomination. The
influence of his speech reached the
delegates and nothing could get them
back in line for Musgrove, the ring
candidate. Two other names were be-
fore the convention, but only for
short time. A Mr.. Vangilder, who re,
ceived but two votes, and crippled
man named Freeland. His name was
Withdrawn after the first ballot, and
then Mcintyre and Musgrove fought it

The Lewiston Tribune gives the fol-
lowing story of poor Italian of that
city who has fallen heir to duke
his native country:
II will erect a mansion on Normal
hill and commence its construction
as soon as my money is available to
me- said Joseph Rossi yesterday.
The Waha irrigation project | will
consider, but will provide the funds
for the building of the electric road
from Lewiston to Grangevlle first"
Mr.. Rossi is the gentleman who is
soon to come into possession of an
Italian estate, valued at $5S. 200, 900.
Mr.. Rossi spent considerable time
In looking over the city yesterday and
has selected property on Normal hill
which he will endeavor to purchase
as soon as his funds are available.
The owner of the property he does
not know, but he has selected the
location he desires and will commence
negotiations for the purchase as soon
as he is prepared to talk business.
Il am now simply waiting the ar
rival of my credit books" said Mr..
Rossi, "but will be ready to commence
with my plans as soon as the neces-
sary documents arrive. The building
of the electric road is the desire of my
wife and the investment will be made
to satisfy her wish. We will COM
mence the improvement of the ranch
on Craig mountain on large scale
before we leave for our visit in Cali
fornia and will have the entire tract
parked and made into a summer re-
sort and home before our return from
Italy. 1t is our intention to stay in
Italy only short time and will com
plete our business affairs as soon as
possible.
"Mr. Policy and wife will accom-
pany us on our trip across the waters
and we will all be anxious to return
to Lewiston, which will be the center
of our investments"
The Policy family are old pioneers
of the Lewiston country. Mr.. Policy
having been one of the protectors of
the Anatone fort during the Nez
Perce war. For many years the Pol
leys were engaged in the stock busi-
ness and have taken their cattle over
all parts of the country. AS result
Mrs. Rossi is well acquainted with the
wonderful country to be served by the
proposed road from Lewiston to
Grangeville, and naturally prefers to
make her home i'm the country of her
childhood
The hills from Lewiston TO the
Bitter Root mountains are all famil-
lar to her and she now desires to fur
nish the finances for the electric rail
road that will develop the country
that was once the stock range. The
ambition is a most worthy one and
Mr. Rossi has announced his inten-
ton of providing his wife with the
necessary funds with which to build
the road.
