down and out, after two years of SUI
premacy in the little coterie of Cha
YES county Republicans. The old time
boss swung into the saddle again last
night at the Republican convention,
with the greatest ease. Nothing was
in his way. No point had been oyer
looked. In fact, the meeting worked
like well oiled machine, with steam
up to 100 pounds pressure and weight
to override any difficulties that might
arise, which it did with the effect OF
a steam roller.
1t was the Chaves county delegate
convention of Republicans, called to
name delegates to all outside conven-
tions, to nominate a county ticket, a
county central committee, and, in
fact, to do the whole job of the cam
paign year up in one bundle and get
it all over with. The two percincts
of Roswell were represented by full
delegations. several other local Re-
publicanS and a few Democrats 60

were delegates from five or six out

chairman, called the body to order.

handwriting on the wall, Chairman
Wetmore did not even call for other
nominations, but put the motion and
declared it carried, as speedily as pos
sible, called the temporary chairman

Chairman Ful1en said that he had
secured his support for the chairman
ship by promising not to make a
speech, and then proceeded to make
one, beginning with national affairs
and coming down to local issues in
an address of several minutes that
was afterward, in substance, made
the platform of the meeting by the
adoption of the report of the resolu-
tionS committee.
NJ. o. Becker, of Lake Arthur, was
named secretary, K. S. woodruff max

health is improving and that nothing will prevent me
from rendering you the efficient service in the future
that have in the past In asking another nomination
desire most sincerely thank you for the continued IA
vors have received at your hands And especially Go
thank you for the many kind and sympathetic express
IONS and words of cheer and offers Of support that You
have sent me during my present illness feel that can
trust my interests in this the hands of such loyal
devoted friends. All that can say in return for your
generous kindness is to uhfully say to you that have
never knowingly neglected the performance Of single
duty that owe you, and that my loyalty to the peo-
pie has been constant and unagging have kept your

Col. Colquit. former spec
Of the Arkansas house Of rel

the insurance department of the

tai vote would reach at least 100
600, while Commissioner Of Agri-

would not exceed 125, 600. These
guesses represent the views OF
the highest and lowest estimate.
In the primary held two years

round numbers So, 900 and Davis
received 90, 600, making a total
of 10000 votes. These figures
will be increased by at least 20, :
900 or 25, 900, and may, as Col.

Were Disappointed.

Hope, Mch. II. Sheriff T. c.

Wednesday night for Shawnee
town, ILL.,, to bring back Will
Green, the murderer Of Marshal
John T. Hamilton, who was sup
posed to be in custody there. DR..
Sutton accompanied Sheriff Will
son for the purpose of Identify
ing Green, as the Sheriff did not
know him and DR. Sutton had
given him medical treatment and
knows him well.
Yesterday morning a message
wac received from DR.. Sutton by
7. B. BoWden, in this city, saying
that the negro under arrest there
is not Will Gretn, and that he
would return home at once. Ow-
ing to the fact that the negro
arrested at Shawneetown so
closely filled the description of
Green, it was firmly believed that
he had been caught, but it has
proved to be another case of mis-
taken identity. The officers have
other clews which are now being
followed and it is possible that
Green may be captured within
the next few days.
