trail committee was called named
State Engineer Frank Nicholas.
Schnitzer of Washoe nominated Peter
]. Somers, though not able to be pres
emit, was placed before the convention
as having come from Milwaukee, the
place that Schlitz made famous. AT
this juncture Nicholas was led for
ward like a lamb to the slaughter as
1t was a foregone conclusion that
Pete had the gang back of him. Mich
olas wanted to be shown a telegram
from Pete to find If he was in the
race, thus casting a doubt upon
Schnitzer's word. Governor DECKER
son in the interest OF harmony with
drew the name of Nicholas and Som
ers was elected by reclamation.
Judge Hubbard placed A. b. Gray
of Lyon in nomination for the posi-
ton of secretary of the state central
committee and this is where Captain
!, Thatcher got busy. With flaming
eyes and his body trembling with in
dignation he drew up Gray's Populist
record in Colorado, charging him
: with being responsible for the cleo
ton of Governor Peabody and accus-
!. ed him of being a traitor to his party.
r The captain said he had no personal
e grievance against Gray, but the ques-
ton Of Democracy was dearer to him
!, than anything and informed the con-
: vention that it must take the conse-
:, auences If anything ensued by having
a traitor as it's secretary. Gray made
d an explanation that failed to explain
o to Thatcher, after which he told a
J. good yarn or two and for the time be-
r, ing was the idol of the unterrihed,
]. B. O'Brien, a former Coloradani
talking of the episode, said that the
a Republicans would not stop short Of
murder in an effort to accomplish any
d end. Gray was the choice OF the con
vention. save for two votes.
