The democratic county convention
held at the opera house in this city last
Thursday was one of the best attended
and most enthusiastic ever held in the
history of the party. There has been
unusual interest taken this year, and
there was no lack of candidates for the
various Offices, all of them being good
men and the only thought of the dele
gates was to name ticket composed Of
the strongest vote getters in the county
and that this was done is not, question
ed. Although there was some spirited
contests for the nominations they were
all in good humor and the defeated can
didates accepted defeat in good spirit
and the candidates nominated are con-
fronted with no sore spots held against
them. The ticket nominated is indeed
a splendid one, every man on the ticket
being absolutely clean and the success
of the entire ticket at the polls in Now
ember is predicted by those who are
familiar with the political situation in
this county.
The convention was called to order at
11:30 for the morning session by County
Chairman v. r. McGinnis, who read the
official call and announced that Hon. E.
]. Sankey, the democratic representa-
tive from Decatur county, had been Sc
lected as temporary chairman. Mr.. San
key was greeted with hearty applause
when he took the chair, the delegates
recognizing his sterling worth and the
years of toll he has performed for the
democratic party of Decatur county.
Mr.. Sankey thanked the convention for
the honor of being selected as temper
ary chairman, and said the delegates
had assembled for the purpose Of nomin-
tating a county ticket which would be
elected this fall, and it was not neces-
sary for him to occupy any Of their time
listening to speech, and announced
that the convention would proceed at
once to business.
