Of the convention itself might not be
DISTRACTED. 1t was the general un.
derstanding among the public that
all was not serene in the high places
of the oounty political circles. Geo.
ColviS had gone up against r. A.
Booth for joint-senatorial honors and
Harris of Eugene was invading this
Hermann stronghold with apparent
intent to capture the congressional
delegation. 1t was evident that the
selection of delegates for the state
and congressional conventions would
be no tame or listless affair.
On these matters the delegates had
thrcshed' diligently and many of the
more active ones wore a wearied and
overworked expression at the time
when the convention was called to
order. A Circumstance that was
freely commented upon by the specta.
tors was the soiled coat backs of some
of the enterprising ones, indicative of
many little caucuses in quiet places
The convention was called to order
by W.. II. Hampton. The first on the
order of business was the election of
a temporary chairman and Joseph
Moss was placed in nomination by L.
W. Kuykendall. There was no other
nomination and Mr.. Moss was elected
by acclamation. Before leaving the
chair, NJ. Hampton made few re-
marks, thanking the republican party
for the honors conferred upon him in
the past, and for the glorious victory
achieved at the last election. Mr.
Moss also made brief speech. calcu-
lated to promote nuanimity of re-
publican feeling.
For temporary secrea'ry, 4. W.
Chausse was nominated by Il. W..
Kuykendall. Mr.. Chausse declined
and nominated Mr.. Kuykendall. Mr.
Kuykendail declined. Chas. Crow
Of Merlin declined also. G. W. Col
Wig nominated l.. L. Jewell. MIR.
Jewell declined. The modesty of the
gentlemen in regard to the honnrs OF
the secretaryship seemed extreme.
1t looked for time as though the
office WAS going begging but finally
some one nominated h. W, Clarke
and that gentleman stepped gallantly
into the breach. The convention
again got under way. G. E. Maybee,
though not delegate, was elected
assistant secretary.
The chairman appointed committees
as follows: on credentials, DIR. J. S
Moore, Il. W, Kuykendall, Geo. w.
Colyig; on order of business, W. H.
Hampton, j. c. Campbell, W. T.
