Fairchild 292 votes, and the former
was declared the nominee.
The convention was a harmonious
one, and had little resemblance to
some of the county conventions of past
days in the old court house when the
ink bottles had to be nailed down to
the desks and the stove poker was
handled as an argument and coats
We're thrown Off to indicate that the
debaters were ready for any kind of
. settlement Of disputed questions.
The ticket is one which any repub
lican can heartily support, because of
the ability and character of the candi-
dates, and can well reserve his CON-
bative qualities for the opposition that
will be arrayed under the banner OF
Townleyism.
The Donpartisans at their proposal
convention last Tuesday morning
made the following nominations for
a ticket to he voted upon next Novem-
Der:
State Senator-Geo. Oehler.
Observation-Disclosures Stevenson,
