HARMONY is KEYNOTE
Nearly All Members Of Com
mittee on Hand. Also Can
didates, Editors and Pol
ificiaRs Of NOte..-Al in
Solid PhaIaDx

+ The Republican gathering in the
city yesterday was a hard blow to
Democratic hopes of divided party
and in view of the utmost harmony
and good feeling that prevailed it
is not likely that the meeting of the
Democratic hosts today will be CHAR
acterized with exhiliaration born of
Republican dissentions. NJ
Direct from the primaries and feel
ing that they were the choice of the
people, the members of the state cen
trail committee met togther with the
best Of good feeling and satisfied
that whatever was deemed best for
the best interest of the party would
be adopted and that every man would
have a full voice in the deliberate ms
and their expectations were full
filed.
There were no dissentions of any
kind and the only thing which re-
sembled a contest was that of the
contest for membership of the COM
mittee by Lucas and Walsh Of Ran
som county, which was settled after
full hearing of both sides, and the de-
cision was accepted in good spirit
by the friends of both men.
i, The election Of James M. Johnson
of Minot, was somewhat Of surprise
to him and the members and his
nomination was so satisfactory that
no other name was mentioned and
in taking the chair he made a few
remarks that indicated that all Re-
publicans look alike to him and that
| his sole interest would be for the
success of the party in the coming
election, which sentiment was heart
| lily applauded.
The election of E. G.. Warmer IF
| Valley City as secretary, and James
A. Buchanan of Buchanan as treas
urer, we're also made by reclamation
and unanimously and a great deal of
satisfaction was expressed over the
| excellence of the selections and the
harmony with which they were made.
| The platform is the most succinct
declaration of principles ever e1un-
ciated by any political party in the
state. There is nothing ambiguous
about 1t, no hedging, but straight,
] plain statement of where the party
stands and what 1t stands for, aud
every man who stands for good gov
eminent can with good grace accept
such a creed as his rule and guide.
There was a great many Of the
party workers in the city yesterday
and the editors of the West Missouri
/ country came along with plenty OF en-
thusiasm being all Republicans, so
taken altogether the day was a verit-
/ able party love feast.
Il In the evening the Commercial
i club rendered the visitors in the city
i a smoker which was largely attended
land enjoyed as it Afforded an oppor,
i tunity for the gentlemen to get bet.
il ter acquainted and fittingly closed a
i day satisfactory to all good Republi-
cans.
