The best attended and most en
thusiastic convention ever held in
Richardson County was held in Stella
last Tuesday afternoon , The people
of Stella had made every preparation
for the crowd , and not a detail was
lacking to make the occasion a plea
sant one for all concerned. The con
vention was called to order by the
county chairman.V. . B. Dorrington
and J. R Cain sr. , was made temporary
ary chairman. Mr. Cain responded
in his characteristic way saying in
> art that it was the lirst convention
le had attended for twenty-five years
and the changed appearance of things
ivas a living exemplification of the
republican administrations. H. P.
Marble of Hutnboldt was made tern-
) orary secretary. At this point
Congressman Pollard was invited to
address the convention and in a thirty
ninutcs address enthused the conven
tion with a recital of the great things
lone by the party and the great
things to be done. Mr. Pollard stands
squarely with the President on the
questions of railroad rates and
charges , and denounced the giving of
rebates in no uncertain tone. After
the credentials had been received and
iccepted the temporary organization
ivas made permanent on motion of R.
13. Grinstead of Salem. C. F. Ueavis
ntroduced a resolution declaring for
V , G. Lyford for regent of the .state
university and granting to him the
privilege of selecting the delegates
to the state convention.
The nominations for candidates for
county Treasurer was the next order
of business , and it was agreed to bring
the names of the candidates before
the convention by an informal ballot.
The imformal ballot gave George
Riechers a majority over J. C. Tanner
E. O. Lewis moved that the informal
ballot be made the formal ballot and
Mr. Richers be declared the nominee
but the chair sustained the point oi
order made by C. F. Reavis that the
motion was for the ballot to nominate
and not to elect. The informal ballot
disclosed that Richers and Shubert
had combined forces whereby the
two Baradas and East Muddy were t < ;
vote for Riechers for Treasurer and
the Falls City first ward was to vote
for Shubert for clerk. The second
ward immediate combined with
Stringfield of Stella on the same kinc
of a deal. This latter combination
was ellectcd on the lioor of the con
vention while the ballot was beint ;
taken and resulted in Stella , Portei
and Liberty voting for Tanner ant
nominating him by a vole of I.'IO tc
124. The light for Treasurer was keer
and spirited and was a contest be1
tween two of the best men in tht
party. No .sore sports were left as
Mr. Riechers has always been a tnu
republican and took his defeat as be
comes a . 'onsistent and true republi
can.
can.For
For county clerk Porter Stringlield
of Stella , Frank Shubert of Shuber
and Will Alexander of Dawson wen
nominated. Four ballots were neccs
sary , the last of which resulted in tin
nomination of Porter Stringfield
Both gentlemen were called before tin
convention , eacli of whom made ver ;
favorable impressions with the dele
gates. Frank Shubert made a hi
with the convention by declaring tha
his republicanism was not the sellisl
character ; that he had his coat oil fo
the candidate and would demonstrati
to his people that he was a repudlicai
from principle and not because o
personal ambition. Mr. Shubert wa
cheered to the echo and was stronge :
in his defeat than he was before. Mr
Bolejack spoke for Alexander win
was absent.
The nomination for county judg
was given to Judge .1. R. Wilhite afte
five ballots. Judge A. R. Scott am
John Wiltse made splendid showing
but the sentiment for Judge Wilhit
especially in the west eud , was to
strong. The olllce came to Judg
Wilhl without solicitation and because -
cause of his pre-enmlnent fitness for
the place.
The contest for sher iff between W.
1 * . Fergus and John Hossack was a
very dllllcult matter to decide. No
better men were ever opposed to
each other and the majority of dele
gates , if their wishes had been con
sulted , would have refrained from
voting as between them. The vote
resulted favorably to Mr. Hossnck
and he was the nominee. Doth candi
dates responded to repeated calls for
them and expressed themselves in
words of thanks for the support of
the different delegations.
Prof. Hoff of Ilumboldt and Prof.
Watson of Verdon were the opposing
candidates for superintendent , the
vote resulting in favor of Prof. HotT.
Watson received very Haltering sup
port at the hands of the convention.
William Rieger was nominated for
Register of deeds by acclamation and
if the supreme court shall declare the
law dispensing with the election for
that olllce this year unconstitutional
Mr Rieger will be elected by one of
the largest votes ever given a party
candidate.
Dr. George Reneker was rcnominat-
ed for coroner and Rasmus was nomi
nated for surveyor , both , of which
nominations were made without con
test.

The republicans of Richardson
County in convention assembled here
by renew our allegience to the prin
ciples of our party as declared in the
platform of national convention held
at St. Louis.
We pledge our unfaltering support
to President Roosevelt who stands in
this the hour of his greatest triumph
as the foremost citi'/en of the civiliz
ed world.
We request of our representative
in congress that he support , the pol
icy of President Roosevelt in his ef
forts to enlarge the functions of the
inter-state commerce commission
with relation to the regulation of rail
road rates.
We are unalterably opposed to
the giving of rebates under any guise
whatsoever.
We instruct the delegation to the
state convention to support an anti-
pass plank in the platform to be
adopted by the state convention to
the end that rates and transportation
charges may be more equitably as-
sesed , t o insure public officials
a n d especially our j u d i-
ciary from obligations to one
class of our citizenship greater than
that are owed to others , and to made
prcformanccs square withthc promise
of a square deal to all.
We advocate the nomination of a
candidate for United States Senator
by the state conventions.
AVe commend the administration of
the state government and more es
pecially do we commend the efforts
of the attorney General , Norris Brown
for his courageous and able efforts to
enforce the anti-trust laws of the
state of Nebraska.
We pledge ourselves to the support
of the ticket here nominated and to
contribute of our time and effort to
its election in its entirety.
E. O. Lewis moved to appoint a
committee of three to fill vacancies
which motion was amended to em
power the central commitee to fill
vacancies , the amendment carried.
Then came the adjournment of the
finest convention ever held in the
county. It was no man's convention ,
every delegate asserted his independ
ence and voted strictly in accordance
with his judgement and his conscience.
The party was never so united as now
and the splendid ticket placed before
the voters of the county will be
elected.
NOTKS.
Stella received and was entitled to
the thanks of the convention for the
splendid manner in which it cared for
the delegates. The ladles of the
church who served meals were re
cipients of the congratulations of
every body who was fortunate enough
to partake of their hospitality.
One of the features of the conven
tion was the presence of T. L. Hall of
Verdon as a delegate. This was
Tom's first appearance as a member
of the republican party and he was
made very welcome by the delegates ,
all of whom expressed pleasure at
Ills stand.
A very unusual feature of the day
was the departing of the crowd for
Home. Fully one hundred men waited
ui hour or so at the depot for the
freight , and while waiting joined In
the singing of the good old church
liymns under the leadership of Kd
Daeschner , Gus Dccklnger , Richard
ICaiscr , Chas Welnent , Lewis Me-
I'hsrfton , Ike Beaulicu and others.
Not a man who had Indulged In liquor
lot a coarse word spoken. The writ
er has never listened to more insplr-
ng music than he heard from a him-
ired men that night singing on the
lepot platform ,
Bob Cain Is a success as a ohainman.
He handled the convention admirably
nnd fairly and came in for a large
share of praise for the orderly and
rapid manner in which the convention
lisposcd of business.

easily have been crushed to death by
the heavy buggy.

from the well at the family home on
South Stone street , Mrs. James Naus

not one of the really largo circus.
ce , bul il iMiibrneefl some highly
meritorious fentures. * It wns ideal
circus weather and there wns a
fair sixed crowd on the streets to
witness the parnde. The crowd in
the afternoon wns not Inrge , and
the crowd in the evening was even
smaller , nil of which was proba
bly due to the fact that the show
was not adequately advertised.
The ring work of some of the well
trained horses , the tight wire act
and the bicycle act were probably
the most noteworthy features.
The show boasted one of the big.
gest , but the very ugliest elephant
ever brought to town. The baby
lions were cute and attracted
much attention.
