CONVENTION WAS
SHORT AND PEACEFUL
After a,FeW Hours Of Good Work
the Convention Adjourns
with a Clean Record

1t does not take columns to tell
what was accomplished. The work
was we'll done and centered mainly
on one point. whether to send in
structed or uninstructed delegates
to Denver, and the selection of those
delegates.
Those chosen were
Delegates-Senator F. G. New
lands and Governor D. S. Dickerson,
at large; Edward Clark, Lincoln
county; Charles A. Evans, Nye coun-
ty; "Ole" Elliott, Esmeralda county;
John Sunderland, Washoe county.
Alternates to delegates as above
named in Order-A. G. Dawley, Elko;
Senator Charles Green. of White
Pine; A. P. Betterworth, Churchill; !;
Capt. Thatcher, Nye county; Thomas
Dunn, Esmeralda; F. L. White,
Washoe. These will go instructed
for Bryan.
AS in every question of Importance
this was no exception in having ad-
herents on either side and was
settled by the majority, with the
minority peacefully accepting the
decision.
The balance of the work simply
amounted to routine business, ap-
pointment of officers, committees
etc.
Regardless of all published state
ments to the contrary it cannot be
gainsayed but thatt he convention
all in all, quietly, peacefully ant
honestly did it's work and did il

REPUBLICAN, iNSINCERITY
We invite the attention of the peo-

every abuse of which President

are now complaining, is a Republi-

by republican maladministratiOn
which furnishes the very best rea

After a most active but harmon
ious session the Democratic State
adjourned last night at
about IL o'clock. That the con-
yention was harmonious and of
strictly business like nature is evil

ere completed in the matter of
hours and during that time
amount of routine and useful
i->s accomplished. For some
'heir re the convening of the
lad been given out that its
"es)uld not be finished within
kahys and it was quite dis
recnent to many when early
snening it was announced that
Convention would probably ad-
arn about 10 o'clock.
Delaying, pickering and even
nights had been prophesied that
could not but prolong the session
but none of these occurred, and good
long sensational newspaper stories
were coldly nipped in the making
but Of course in order to make a
showing and in manner make
good their anticipation of weeks the
morning papers came out with big
headlines of fights and inharmon-
ious action, followed with long pad
ded stories, the sum and substance
of which when sifted down to legit
innate news simply told of bust
ness proceeding of peaceful con
vention, corresponding with the pur
poses for which it was called.
