The Boilers Convention.

Postmaster Pickerl, met at the court
yard Saturday afternoon and named
the ticket which had previously been
selected by the bosses. Almost the
entire work ran smoothly. The bosses
had agreed to let Monroe Steiner
withdraw and put somebody else up
for slaughter if any one could be
found who would accept the nomina-
ton. 1t seemed that Steiner had sue
ceeded in getting Charley Powell of
Tyner to accept, but at the critical
moment Charles appeared on the
stand and refused to allow the use
of his name, consequently Frank l..
Thomas, who was not present was
nominated for sheriff.
For all the other Offices the slate
agreed on went through without a
hitch
Samuel Schlosser was nominated
for Representative, ]. F. Martin for
Clerk and Jones Grant for treasurer,
| by reclamation. In order to make a
showing of more than one candidate
for some of the Offices, Pickerl had
the name of John Gabby presented
for auditor, but he was not allowed
to get votes enough to interfere with
the nomination of Rev. N. H. Shep-
pard who had been promised the
nomination in order to get his moral
influence for the ticket.
For county assessor samuel Wise
of Union township, was named and
County Surveyor Vanvactor having
positively declined to allow the use
of his name,W. H. Morris, former
ditcher of Polk township, now res
| ident of Plymouth, was drafted as a
candidate for surveyor Jacob Heck
aman of Germna township, was nom
mated by reclamation for commits
sioner of the first district Some of
those present thought they would
rather have somebody else than Yam
|tiss for commissioner and the names
of Osborn and Frank Overmyer were
presented, but if the votes they re-
ceived is any indication of their
standing in the Yockey- Pickerl party
they are certainly considered very
small potatoes" by those men.
The men nominated are all good
citizens and have been considered
good Republicans, consequently We
do not expect any of them will allow
their names TO remain long on tick
ct of disorganizers.
The Republicans of Marshall coun-
|ty cannot divide and win and they can
not allow any man or set of men to
bolt the regular organization and
name a ticket for the Republicans to
vote. The ticket nominated Saturday
is not a Republican ticket.
If the Democratic convention which
met in Plymouth Saturday, May &c,
had named ticket composed of good
Republicans and asked that it be ac-
cepted as the Republican ticket to
oppose the Democratic ticket which
they had nominated, no Republican
would have thought of it as Repub-
lican ticket, and when ticket is
named by a half dozen men who re-
fuse to be governed by the Republic
can organization, men who assume
that they are the party and every
body else must bow in submission
to their will, it is worse than if the
Democrats had attempted to select a
ticket for Republicans to vote.
Some people seem to think this is
a contest between Hendricks and
earn, but it is contest between
the county Republican organization
and men who seek to overthrow that
Organization. If the organization is
loverthrown we have no Republican
party in Marshall county and Repub-
lcans will not be bound by any par
ty ties.
