BLAIR, Neb., Aug. 11.-(special Tele-
ram.)-The Washington county republican
convention was held at the court house
this afternoon. with the largest attendance
OF any convention that has been held here
for years. George p. Detemple was chair
man and r. f. Fassett of Arlington secre-
tary The convention endorsed Hon. Lor.
EMO Crounse for United States senator
with secondary endorsement of Hon. e
Rosewater. In the event that Mr.. Crounse
should not secure the nomination. Mr..
Rosewater. Mr.. Crounse and George L.
candidate for governor we're pres
ent and addressed the convention. The
Passing of the resolution endorsing Mr..
Crounse before either of the gentlemen were
called to address the convention is strongly
denounced on all sides, taking into con-
sideration that they were both men of
national reputation and were known to be
here for the purpose of talking before the
convention. Some OF the strongest Crounse
supporters denounced It as dirty piece
OF political work, directed more especially
against Hon. E. Rosewater. and this dis
courtesy would have made votes among
the delegates in favor of Mr.. Rosewater
had the vote been called again. Mr..
Crounse's address consisted mainly OF
review OF his past record and uncalled for
abuse of Mr.. Rosewater. Mr.. Rosewater's
reply to the attacks upon him were short
and to the point. He followed with the
most able address upon the present national
issues and those to come that was ever
made In this city. His speech brought out
rounds OF applause from the convention.
Hon. George L. Sheldon addressed the con-
vention. talking mainly upon the railroad
question
