REPUBLICAN
CONVENTION
ONE OF THE LARGEST
EVER HELD IN THIS
CITY.
Great Enthusiasm, Strongest and
Best Tickets Ever Pre-
scented.

The Republican convention
held at Kuhn's hall Tuesday
night, was a surprise to Republi-
cans and a sumner to Kirk Dem
ocratS, who had looked for a
small, tame convention.
Contrary to general expecta-
tons there were many candidates
and a lively contest for most OF
the nominations, but the utmost
harmony prevailed, leaving nc
sore spots.
For Mayor, the names of c. S
Cleveland, DR.. r. c. Stephens
and Charles r. Leonard were pre-
scented. The ballot resulted in the
nomination of Mr.. Cleveland. The
vote was as follows: Cleveland
-, Stephens 81, Leonard 30. The
nomination of Mr.. Cleveland was
made unanimous amid the wild
est enthusiasm.
For CITY clerk the names OF
John NJ. Odds, the present eff
cient incumbent, and George H.
Hendricks, hustling young
printer, were presented. The bal
lot gave Hendricks 50 and Odds
Sc, and Hendricks was declared
the nominee for city clerk.
There were four candidates for
city treasurer. They were Charles
Marcombe, Frank II. Klehe
Fred n. Kepler and Jesse -.stley.
The first ballot gave Kleber 43,
Marcombe SO, Ashley 81, Kepler
20. On the second ballot Mar
combe was nominated, receiving
81 votes to 26 for Kleber, p for
Ashley and - for Kepler.
Joseph Swindell and A. r. Cliz-
be were nominated by acclama-
ton for councilmen at large, after
which the convention separat;
mo wards to nominate one coun-
Gilman for each ward.
The first ward nominated
Frank Cullison, the second ward
John B. Bowel and the third
ward +. w. Bosworth.
The convention was the largest
ever held by Republicans OF this
city except that of 1894. when 10
seph Swindell was elected mayor
by over 100 majority, which was
almost as great as MIR. Cleve-
lands majority will be this year.
The whole ticket is one of the
best ever presented to the voters
OF this city by any party. Nc
man in the city has done more for
its advancement in livery way
than c. S. Cleveland and his cleo
ton should be practically unani-
nous, because he has all the quail
ifications necessary for a good
mayor.
George II. Hendricks, the nom
inee for city clerk, was born here
has lived here all his life, has no
an enemy in the city, and is wei
qualified for the position. He
ought to run like wild fire not.
withStanding the fact that ht
goes on crutches now because O
a broken leg.
| Charles Morcombe is the popu
lar agent of the l.. f. & w. anC
the fact that he won over three
of the best Republicans of the
city. is an evidence of his
strength. His ability and integ
rity are unqueStioned. He ough-
to win hands down."
| The candidates for councilmer
at large are two of the best bust
ness men in the city. JOSEPH
Swindell was twice mayor, anC
was recognized by all parties a:
one of the best mayors the cit,
ever had. Mr.. Clizbe is his equal
and as councilman at large will
know what the city needs and as
siSt in getting it.
The candidates in the differen
wards are first class men and b,
voting the entire Republican tick
ct all citizens can assist in secur
ing good city government ant
plae Plymouth in the class wher,
it belongs.
The defeated candidates are al
first class men. None OF them ar,
office seekers, and they only al
lowed their names presented al
the earnest solicitation of friends
They are all strong men and will
give the ticket earnest support.
