this city on Saturday afternoon.
1t was not noted for its numbers
and was as quiet political affair
as the old town has ever witnessed
1t might also be said that it was
one OF the most temperate conven-
tlons, so far as hurting invective at
the opposition was concerned,
ever held and there was no occas-
ion for ruffled feelings on the part
OF any one, unless it was the fact
that the convention as a body had
nothing whatever to do with nam
ing the different delegations. But
BlSber county republicans have
long since adapted themselves to
the custom of vesting that power
IN a few of the "very elect" and if
there were any mutterings of dis
content they were not permitted to
develop above a whisper.
]. N. Tincher of this city was
chosen chairman of the convention
and Editor w. H. Holmes of the
Isabel Herald, secretary.
Hugh Rankin of Sharon made a
motion that the usual committees
be appointed. The chair construed
the usual committees to mean
one on credentials, one on perma-
nent organization, one on resolu-
tlons and last, best and most i'm
portant of all, a committee to
name The delegates. They were as
follows:
CREDENTIALS COMMITTEE.
w. II. HulIa1ler, ". G.. Osborn,
Robt. Good.
PERMANENT ORGANIZATION.
L. S. Rule, Jerry Gano, Chas.
Adams.
NISs'Olsl llONS.
II. II. Case, S. G. Grimes, las.
Moore.
COMMITTEE TO NAME DELEGATES.
J. n. Titus, H. E. Glenn, Hugh
Rankin.
1t was then brought to the no.
tice OF the chair that Judge F, H.
Madison, who is the same as nomi-
mated as the republican candidate
for congress, would be in when the
train should arrive and a recess
was ordered until the Judge ap-
peared.
In the course of an hour the fast
mail whistled in and business was
resumed. The credentials COM
mittee found no trouble and not
many delegates but many empty
chairs. The temporary organiza-
tion was made permanent and the
following typewriter resolutions,
which had been in cold storage for
some weeks, were adopted.
The republicans of Barber county. in CON
vention assembled. endorse the national and
state administrations and reiterate their con-
hdence and pride in their distinguished and
able fellow citizen. Chester |. Long.
I'VE recognize in f. ii. Madison young
man fully qualified to represent the Big
Seventh district in the halls of Congress,
though we regret to lose our esteemed repre-
sentative. Victor Murdock. TO the new eighth.
JudSe z. b. Gillett has impartially ad-
ministered the laws i'm our courts and has the
undivided support of the republicans Of our
county. The delegation to the judicial con-
vcntion are instructed to use every homo rable
means to secure his denomination.
I'VE are glad OF the opportunity to support
T. A. McNeal for state printer
I'VE cheerfully endorse the candidacy of
our old neighbor and political friend. c. Z.
Denton, for the office OF secretary of state.
and instruct our delegation to use every eff
fort to secure his nomination.
1t will be noticed that the en-
dorsement of Governor Hoch, COM
pared with that of Judges Madison
and Gillett, State Printer McNeal
and c. E. Denton of Harper coun.
ty, is quite chilly. The turning of
the cold shoulder to S. B. Rohrer
of Valley township, who is can
didate for secretary of state, and
the only Barber county man who
wants a state Office, was the sun
kindest cut of all But such is
life insthe west.
The list of delegates and alter
mates were then read by Harry
