by Pine and q vote on the two re-
naming candidates resulted In the

speech after the counting of the bal

of ID. s. Dickerson, as well as the
entire ticket
state Secretary.
For secretary of state, J. j. Owen
OF Nye county placed in nomination
F. B. Mannix of Nye county. editor
of the Bullfrog Miner. Mannix was
nominated by acclamation and In a
subsequent speech made a deep i'm
preston on the convention. He is a
late acquisition to the strength of the
party in Nevada and must be figured
on as a man of great force and ability.
ID. NJ. Ryan Of Storey county. after
being nominated by George ID. Pine
for the position OF state treasurer. was
accepted as the nominee by acclama-
| ton.
Robert Raftice of Eureka was nomi-
named to run for the once of state

Attorney General.
Then followed the nomination of
candidate for the ONCE of attorney
general. There was but one nominee
and that was Richard c. Stoddard of
Washoe county, who" said N W.
Willis, who placed the attorneys name
before the convention, has made an
honored name for himself as city at
torney of Reno. Stoddard comes from
good old Democratic stock He repre-
sents the spirit of the old Nevadans as
well as the spirit of the new. He is
native son, whose education has been
gained in the schools of this state, and
whose experience has been broadened
by instruction gained elsewhere. He
will win beyond a doubt and will carry
with him many votes for the entire
ticket. which he graces." o
Stoddard was forced to respond to
the ovation given him In what he de-
speech"
c. r. LEVERS seconded the nomina-
ton of Stoddard in an appreciative ad-
-
gave an idea of the vigor of the ticket
as a vote getting and victory winning

Close Contest.
In the evening the matter of the
state printer was taken up. j. +.
Haley, a well known newspaper man,
seemed to rule a favorite over his op-
ponent for the once, irwin @. Lewis
Of Carson The latter, however. won
out by the narrow margin of two votes
and was heartily congratulated by his
defeated opponent. who pledged his
support and assistance to the plat
form and the ticket. Haley was given
an ovation on the platform when he
appeared, but the outlying counties
rolled up enough votes to beat him by
but two talies Practically but one
vote caused the defeat of the local
man, as 104 votes were necessary to
secure nomination. Lewis got 105. II
was the onlv unslated fight in the con-
vention and is said to be the closest
vote ever polled in any convention
held in the state.
In the other offices there was no
contest at all and most of the nomina-
tions were ratified by acclamation.
The convention as a rule stood as one
man and the greatest harmony and en-
thusiasm prevailed.
The last thing done was the selec-
ton of the Democratic State Central
committee.
This was not done, however, until
the Joint convention OF Democratic
and Silver party delegates had tenn
pofarily dissolved the joint conven-
| ton. In order to renominate for them
selves the entire ticket selected in
| ioint convention. This was accom-
plished in order TO avoid any legal
ltechnicality which might be pressed
later. inasmuch as the state reeog-
nizes the existence of not one party
| but two. which are known indivtd-
ually as the Democratic and the Sill
yer parties, which have fused In the
nomination of the candidates for office
| thus far at the coming election In No
lyember. So the nominees We're select
| ed not only as joint nominees OF the
two parties, but as the Individual
choice of the Democratic party as well
as the Silver party
When this had been done the two
parties reconvened under Chairman
G. r. Henderson OF Elko, the perma-
nent chairman of the joint convention,
and then adjourned sine die.
Mention should be made OF the able
manner In which the deliberations OF
the convention were led by Chairman
Henderson. He ruled with vigor and
courtesy and made an able presiding
officer.
