Winnemucca is today honored by the
presence of as fine a body of men az
are men who have the interest of the
state at heart. men engaged in ali
branches of business.
Among them we find some of our most
brilliant attorneys. prosperous ranches,
successful miners and hardworking
newspaper men. all bent upon one mis-
sion-the rebuilding of the Republican
party in Nevada.
AS a rule in state C INVENTIONS, states
and programs predominate and every
thing is generally cooked and dried long
before the delegates arrive at the place
where the convention is to be held.
This convention. however, cannot be
placed in the above class. The writer.

reporting conventions. found out las,

listed. Even the temporary officers hao
not been agreed upon. and not a delegate

simply here TO do their duty to then
party and snap judgment was not TO b,
thought of.
The first large delegation to arrive came
In yesterday afternoon from the west on
No. C. They were met at the depot by
members of the local reception commit
tee. and escorted to the rooms that had
been allotted them. without a hitch.
When No. pulled into the station at
e:25 in the evening there was a large
crowd at the depot TO welcome the dele
gates from the east. The Winnemucct
band was also present to enliven the oe

incoming delegates. but to the passen

out of sight.
The delegates soon fell into line and
were escorted down town by the band
and reception committee.
In the evening a general reunion was
held on Bridge street in which large
