four delegates from each ward to the
republican county convention thai
meets In the court house on Saturday
August s, at 1890 a. m. The WARD
meetings were very largely attended
a couple Of them unusually so, in
deed, owing to the great interest
that attaches to the coming conven
ton by reason of the large number
OF candidates fer the various offices
and the consequent hot party fight
The primaries were all quiet and
orderly, with one exception, and the
slated tickets went through in spite
OF the more or less strong opposition,
The exception alluded was In the fifth
ward where there were a couple OF
scraps among some of the friends OF
the rival candidates. partly due to the
of one man on the winning
ticket Cor delegates.
The fifth ward is the only one that
elected an instructed delegation to
the convention. On motion the four
delegates were instructed to vote for
E. A. Hobbs for county clerk, w H
Lamon for sheriff, Wilbur H. Thomas
for prosecuting attorney and Otao
Williams for assessor.
The result OF the town primaries
shows Hobbs way in the lead for
county clerk, while the delegates are
pretty evenly divided on Lamon and
Van Metre for sherlff-the former
having rather the better of tt-and
scattering on the various other can
