with a number of cattle men from dif

that it is the desire of a good many
that the free range law should be pass

of such a law can be readily seen and
would be a great means to induce cat

The populist convention pi the 52d
representative district was called to
order at Sparks last Saturday after
noon by D W Beatty of Norden
j W Whillaus nominated Dr Beatty

tary Both men were elected without
opposition The chair appointed the
remaining two delegates Tf
oersana w Jr Morgareidge as a

mitte teported eight delegates en
titled to seats Of this number four
were present
Election of a district committee was
next and Geo Reinert was made
chairman of same Harvey Millay
was elected committeeman from Keya
Paha At this point resolutions were
deemed to be in order and the resolu
tions adopted by the senatorial con
vention were also adopted by this
convention The resolutions were
neither read nor presented so we are
unable to testify to their worth or lack
of worth
A motion was made and carried that
Robert Good be invited to speak to the
convention which he did The tenor
of his remarks will be found on the
editorial page of this paper None of
the delegates present disputed the facts
set forth by Mr Good but they refused
his proposition by a vote of 6 to 2 so
an informal ballot on representative
was taken which resulted O P
Billings 3 L O Sparks 5 Mr Sparks
in a neat little speech withdrew from
the contest and requested that on the
formal ballot Cherry county cast her
five votes for Billings which was done
The convention then adjourned
The convention ot the demo6raf s of
the 52d representative district Hvas

G66d five of eight delegates being

but harmonious and enthusiastic and
aft organization was effected by the

After thoroughly discussing the sit
uation nominations for representative

Paha having no candidate on motion
nominations were closed and Robert
Good unanimously declared the nomi
nee of the convention The honor was
accepted by Mr Good who promised
to hew to the line and let democrats
know they had a candidate to vote for
in at least one district This senti
ment was loudly applauded fi
A district organization was effected
by the election of J M Coble com
mitteeman from Keya Paha and W E
Haley from Cherry county These
gentlemen will decide between them
selves who shall be chairman and who
secretary
The convention having completed its
labors adjourned sine die
An exchange pertinently remarks
The darkest hour is said to be just
before dawn If the farmer feels sore
ly aggrieved at the price of hogs cat
tle corn wheat or anything else he
may have to sell he must bear in mind
that the world has often faced just
such critical periods before and that
this period of depression in prices
must sooner or later be relieved just as
the others have gone before We
have all seen hogs sell lower than they
are selling to day and then we have
seen a good long stretch of profitable
prices since that time Let every man
go right ahead as best he can in his
usual rountme of work with the firm
belief that things will assame better
shape by and by Ii is his right and
duty to work intelligently and for him
self and this is a good year for him to
do so
