shadows of HARMONY that have
been reverberating through the court
house, from ground floor sills to the
roof rafters since this reform (?) ad-
ministration came into power. They
are the publicly expressed charges
that some of the county officials
tried to get prominent republican
to father against their dearly beloved
brethren in Office and agreed to pro-
duce the evidence that would result in
impeachment, but wanted themselves
to be strictly sub rosa When the
grating turmoil and inuendoes had
partly subsided by mutual recognition
of the two warning factions as to the
guilt of each other, and the "knock
down and drag out" program had been
averted, the convention resolved it
self into some kind of parliamentary
body. By not having a committee on
credentials appointed or report
showing who were delegates, up to
this time it was sort of rag time"
convention. That made no dtferene .
as the lack of method was in Keep
ing with the discordant feelings.
One person stated that he left the
hay baler" to come to the convention
but he was not delegate as his pre-
cinct had not held q caucus. He want
ed the foolishness to stop and the con-
vention to get down to biz so that he
could go back to the hay baler. This
was strong hint for them to ''saw
wood" or "bale hay" On motion he
was allowed to act as . delegate from
No. II and as there was no report
showing who were members, he seemed
to be the only accredited delegate to
this harmonious gathering. After a
couple of adjournments the cow ention
finally got one suspender over the
shoulder and went to work to select
delegates to the state and congress-
ional conventions. This ordeal passed
off smoothly just as If the prsdomi-
mating machine faction had carefully
fabricated it. The following were Sc
lscted:
State delegates-James M. Culley,
VIM. C Ives, v. 1, Noxon, c. L. Lamb
A. J. McAndrews, J. F. Kaminky, A.
E. Noyes, B. ). O'Connell, VIM. Pome-
roy, J. J. Bonner. David Robeson, w.
S. Hobbs, H. F. Swanson, l. D. Ellis.
Congressional delegates III. F.
Swanson. VIM. Pomeroy, B. J. O'Con-
nell, J. J. Bonner. David Robsson, w,
S. Hobbs, VIM. Weise, George W.
Straub, l. d. Ellis, F. B. Parkinson.
L. A. Hafer, L. E. Cassatt, Jas. M.
Culley, Mrs. Thomas Campbell.
The question Of endorsing Shafroth
for denomination was then sprung and
was sat down on with a "dull, cold
thud." The delegation is anti-Shafroth
by good majority as now figured.
Link stevens and Mrs. Ella Robeson
Adams were elected members of the
state central committee for the ensu-
ing te rm. 1t was great day for res
urrecting the tomahawk and as a re-
suit of the caucuses and convention,
the commissioner from the big third
and his formidable and undaunted
chiefs seem to have many scalRs dang
ling to their belts. At the close of the
convention it occurred to some men,
ber that there had not been a roll call
to ascertain who were entitled to seats
and a motion was made to have such.
A search for the the roll of members
was made and it was found that it had
bsen laid ''under the table" The
chairman finally took it up and the
secretary began to chant the names
in musical variations and cadences but
was obliged to revert to the credential
list to proceed as some one had ap-
parently copied the roll in the midst of
the exciting exchange Of grating fe-
licities in an illegible democratic style.
On Tuesday evening at eight o'clock,
Henry McClelland and Miss Nellie Mer-
win were married at the South Denver
Catholic church. 1t was q private
church wedding. Robert McClelland
was best man and Miss Jeanette Co.
nine was bridesmaid. The newly mar
ried couple went to housekeeping at
once. Henry is now in the employ of
the Capital National bank in Denver.
