The eighty-four delegates to the re-
publican county convention worked
good naturedly through the convention
at the court house Saturday, and chose
a set of candidates for the county Offices,
which, It Is thought BY republicans at
least. viii run well in the coming cam
paign Much interest was in the air
before the forenoon. meeting was called.
Delegates poured in from the country
at a rather early hour. and were all
duly buttonhOled By busy candidates
and supporters to see whether the
grapes were sweet or sour.
The convention was formally called
to order at the court house at II O'Clock
by George W Edwards, who was
chosen as temporary chairman Herb
ert Stewart was made secretary. BY a
vote of the convention Chairman Ed
wards appointed the necessary com
mittees. and other details were ar
ranged. By this time It was nearly
noon. A motion to adjourn was
already before the convention and
nothing had been said about dinner for
the delegates, who had right to con
slider that they were being treated shah
billy without some unemployment from
aspiring candidates with short speeches
favored with roast beef, boiled cab
bage and the like.
But to all this Thomas p. Leonard
came TO their rescue. He said that
arrangements had been made for free
dinners for the delegates and all they
would have to do would be TO call upon
him for tickets. That was good, but
before the sounds died out there came
another before-dinner speech saying
that the restaurants of the town were
wide open and everything free tickets
were only red tape; just tell them YOU
are delegate and you will get your
dinner; and not only YOU but your
wives and your children. Both candid
atss were applauded, but the vibrations
swelled PercePtably for your wives
and your children"
The convention broke up in adjourn
ment until I O'Clock IN the afternoon.
