WINNEMUCCA, Aug % This city
he bean the scene of The iivelies- ex
element since yesterday. Both the
Democratic and Silver Parties have
taken the town by storm and one OF
the hottest Conventions ever held in
the State has been the result Both
ralties are represented by full quota
Of delegates, proxies being decidedly
shy. The town began to fill I'D Sal
urday evening and all of Sunday there
was buttonholing and corner CONVEX
sations. That there was to be strug.
gle was evident from the beginning.
and while it is the desire of some Of
the disgruntled to swing the conven-
ton into a rut where it would land
the parties in the rank of defeat, yet
it is believed that all of this has Keen
avoided and that complete fusion is
to be the result.
Both parties met in their respective
halls today. The democrats organic
ed at once, electing Attorney General
Sweeney Chairman. Tr1ppplett was
also a candidate, but upon taking the
vote he was defeated by "a to 81.
The Democrats Immediately appoihtei
The Silver men had a warm time
from the first attempt at organization.
There being four sets Of delegates
headed for the Craftsmanship and a
long debate followed. When the vote
was taken Controller Davis was e.
ected Chairman over Bonnifield by 2
vote of 62 to 81.
BY the election Of Davis the Bar
tine forces secured their first victory
as he has been an advocate of Bar
tine since he first entered the race
for the Judgeship. The election Of
Sweeney by the Democrats is of the
same order as he is a strong Bartine
follower. Upon taking the Chair
Sweeney made a very strong speech
in favor of Parker and Davis, also
| urging union of forces and fusion with
the Silver force.
Davis in the Silver Convention made
lively talk. denouncing those VINO
acted as traitors in the party and
urged expelling those of the delegates
who were seeking to make trouble
in the ranks. AS a result several of
: the delegates threatened to bolt the
Convention and were not urged to re-
main They were mostly led by the
trouble breeders and it is believed
that they were in the employ of the
I Nixon faction, and it was evident the
Republicans were taking a hand in
. the fight.
There will be a fight over the Con
e gresham. The Henderson forces are
strong in both Conventions and it is
fight between Van Duzer and He'll
I derson. The way the affairs have

> Supreme Judge as the test vote has
