Populist Convention.
The populists held their county
convention at the court house Sat
urday afternoon, the attendance of
delegates being rather light. Tins
principal business transacted wa i
the selection of delegates to thj
state, congressional, senatorial and
representative conventions. Reso
lutions condemning every move
that the republican administration
has made and endorsing the work
r f Poyntcr. Allen and Neville were
adopted. While the convention was
waiting for the report of the com
mittee on resolutions, feeble callu
were made for Nevi'le and when hi;
took the floor no applause greeted
Him; he was received witli an icy
heart. Mr. Neville threw a sop to
the populists by saying that Bryan
was as good a populist as any oi
them and that eight years ago
Stevenson was elected on a platform
that declared for the coinage of
Bilvcr at the ratio f 16 to 1. A
committee was appointed to confer
with a committee from the demo
cratic convention in session at the
same time in regard to the nomina
tion of candidates for county attor
ney and county commissioner
No agreement, however, was
reached and candidates for tlion:
two offices will be placed in nomi
nation by a conference of the central
committees of the two parties. The
only ripple of excitement during
the convention was caused by a
motion introduced by J. W. Mc
Cawlcy, the populist statesman of
Miller precinct. This motion watt
to the effect that the delegates to
the senatorial convention be in
structed to cast their votes either
for a fanner or a laborer. Though
this was a direct slap at J. G.
Deeler, the motion carried, bul
later was reconsidered and voted
down. It is said that the idea of
the motion was to boom Morcv
Alexander, of Garfield, for the nom
ination for state senator. Mr.
Bceler, we understand, is now un
decided as to whether he will allow
his name- to be presented to the
convention.

A smoke is in order. Only
fine cigars form a proper

more praised by good livers
than our cigars, which are
fit to follow a royal meal.
