Harmony
Republicans Agree On
Program at Home.
Present. Indications,Are That,
Republicans WIN Sweep the
County. Governor Peabody
Sure Of Home County In
State iConvention.

The clouds have passed away and the
sunshine is brighter than ever in the
ranks OF the Republican party.
For some time storm has been
brewing Trouble commenced when
Gov. Peabody began to dip into local
politics and parcel out the county Off
GERS in his own private political deals.
The Governor is not especially popu-
lar in this his home county and the
people resented having him interfere
in local affairs Even the candidates
for county Offices who are practically
sure of nominations have nervous
chill every time mention is made of a
Peabody county ticket and all were
combining to see that the Governor did
not control the county
Hsd there been any well organized
opposition over the state to Gov. Pea
body's nomination it would have been
difficult indeed for him to have gotten
a delegation from Fremont But there
is little such and compromise is al
ways better than open war and in this
case very satisfactory one has been
arranged
There are to be two county conven-
tions. The first Will send delegates to
the Denver convention only. This first
convention is TO be given practically
over to Gov. Peabody to use as he de-
sires. He can have some form of in
struction and he can pick his deIegs-
tion TO the state convention.
In return for having this convention
without fight the Governor has SOL
emnly promised that he and his lieu
tenants will absolutely keep hands of
of the second county convention which
puts up the county ticket. This will
relieve the Governor from all the prom
ises he has made to the several cardi-
dates for the senatorship and other
places and it should relieve the second
convention entirely from the influence
of the Denver politicians.
1t is not to be understood that the
local candidates will be opposed TO
Gov. Peabody if he is the nominee, for
they will not; but they do not want 10
be considered being in Peabody deal
or on Peabody slate. The people
who reside in the count. feel that they
ought to have the privilege of naming
the county ticket without influence
from Denver and this right they are
granted by the arrangement referred
to.
The Central Committee met Friday
in Florence TO call the conventions.
The first convention will meet at Canon
City September s, and the second con-
vention at Florence October 5. There
was an excellent attendance, = dozen
precincts being represented.
The arrangements referred TO were
discussed. While the committee, ss
such had no power TO bind the party
in any such matters, it WAS the general
sentiment that the arrangement was
entirely satisfactory 10 all.
