AN EASY WINNER.
Afteu poliiical honorSj as well
as in things notorial. McCook has
struck a gait uliicli is tit once the
pride of her people and the envy
I of the state. Asmin one of our cit-
I izens has been honored with the
nomination to an office among the
I highest and most responsible in
H the gift of the people of this com-
H monwealth , and that , too , by a
B highly conilijiMMitary ] rote indeed.
B U > : . J. C. Allen did not enter the
I lace for tho secretaryship of state
with the violent flying of banners
I and tuneful tooting of horns that
have otherwise signalized the cam-
paigu f i' nominations before the
republican siati' convention. His
I " 'boom" was : i substantial growth.
j His merits weiv modestly sung and
I his selection in the nature of a
I spontaneous acl ion is the more ilat-
I tering. Mil. Allen comes from
B the native lieath of the tribe of
j Eli/md is a winner.

THE CONVENTION.
As was foreshadowed , the republican
county convention hold at Bartley , Sat
urday last , was a warm one , to use a
very mild term. In the first time in
the history of Ked Willow county , the
west end had a clear , unshakable major
ity in the convention ; this interesting
fact was highly colored by the threat
of the Indiattola gang to bolt the con
vention a threat they put into execu
tion in most indecent haste and under
the most exasperating circumstances
soon after the convention was called to
order , and it had become plain to them
iliac the majority would not be bull
dozed or intimidated , nor the noisy
minority allowed their outrageous de
mands , regardless of their idiotic show
ing of "righteous indignation" assumed
by the bolters. Unusual and unreason
able motions were made and insisted
upon with most clamorous persistency
by the bolters. McCook , the west end ,
her friends and the chairman of the
central committee were insulted and
maligned without stint by them , amidst
the most turbulent demonstrations ever
witnessed in this county's political his
tory. And all this to the end that the
slightest grounds for a pre-arranged
bolt might be established.
In order to avoid the appearance of
prejudice , the minority were allowed the
unparliamentary and unusual privilege
of voting contesting delegations hi the
convention's temporary organization.
And then , when the chair refused to
recognize a motion to elect their bibu
lous champion for temporary chairman
two nominations having already been
made for the office they deliberately
pretend to put their own motion and
attempt to foist the chairman of their
uuhiwful choice upon the convention.
Falling in driving lr. ) B. B. Davis , the
nominee of the legal majority , from bis
post of duty by their dastardly tactics ,
they leave the hall heaping abuses and
curses upon all who dared to stand
bravely for their rights in the premises.
And then , to add the finishing touches
to the scheme batched by them in the
Indiauola Peoples' convention , the pre
ceding Saturday , the bolters afterwards
assembled and ratified the nominations
made by the Peoples' convention , with
the exception ot the office of represen
tative , M. N. Eskey , the professional
office-seeker from Bartley , supplanting
A. C. iHodi , the farmer candidate from
the west end ; the county attorney being
left vacant for trading purposes. A
central committee and delegates to the
various conventions were also placed in
nomination to contest the regular re
publican nominees. The action of the
state republican central committee iu
seating the regular delegation places
an effectual dampener on this part of
the unholy scheme , every feature of
whidi .will be as effectually defeated by
the people of this county in November.
The outrageous course of the bolters
previous to and since the convention
complete ! } unmasks their presumptious
pretenses and places them . before the
people of lied Willow county in their
true aspect and in an unenviable light.
Their self-righteous hue and cry of
"stop thief" has nut diverted the public
attention from their own questionable
practices so far in This campaign ; but
has the rather focused the public gaze
on the offenders , who in the garb of
sanctimonious saints have been travel
ing up and down this country seeking
most of all to disparage the people of
the west end and their friends in the
east end , and singing ever the only
great and good moral excellencies of
Indianola and her votaries. For "ways
chat are dark and schemes that are vain"
the bolters may properly claim the
championship. They are entitled to it ,
and 1 he Tribune moves that it be
awarded.
CONVENTION CHAFF.
Did you hear the Indianola gang roar ?
What boisterous , blustering "righteous indig
nation" to be sure !
The Colonel and his STEiiographer were
there. Mr. Chairman ! Mit. CiiAinsrAN ! !
MK. CHAIRMAN ! ! !
"Deacon" Moore of the Tyrone delegation
should be translated. He is too utterly nice
for this earthly abiding place.
The bolters sought a pretext for a bolt , but
failing to secure it , through the fairness and
magnanimity of the regulars ; well , they just
lew the track anyhow.
The Indianola gang hurled their choicest
naledictions upon Chairman Jennings in
nost reckless profusion. But the chairman
leld the reins linnly and blocked up the bull
lozing tactics of the Indianola filibusters
nost effectually.
The bolters were complerely knocked out
lefore the state central committee , notwith- ,
landing the wind sighed and soughed thro'
he Colonel's adult whiskers while he exhib- .
ted his majestic hirsute development before
he admiring eyes of the committee.
Failing to coerce the Chairman into seating
Spain by a vote of a packed house , instead
it by the delegates present , the Indianola
; ang incontinently fled the Convention hall , \
miid the most scandalous riotry ever witness- :
id in lied Willow county's political history.
The hellbrokeloose gang have tlie reputa-
ion of acting the "righteous indignation"
lodge with reasonable success in the past , ;
mt their patient , over-worked animal fell
lown on top of the gang , last Saturday , to
heir intense chagrin and complete discom- :
iture , at the .Bartley convention. It was too
mlpably thin.
The "Goosetown Banner" evidently had in
nind the ignominous bolting of the Kepubli-
an county convention by the Indianola gang ,
it Bartley , Saturday , when it used the pro-
jhetic and suggestive headlines , "Hell Broke
-.oose , " m its last issue , it looked quite like
, vhat we imagine a mutiny in the nether re-
; ions might be.
"Eeporter Kimmell , " says Ananias of the
Joosetown Banner , "couldn't see why report-
srs should be excluded from any caucus , un-
il E. Peterman explained to him that he had i
10 business there and they did not need him. " i
in this instance , Ananias is an unmitigated
iar in fact and as to specifications. Reporter !
Cimmell had no conversation with Ehas on
hat topic whatever. • J
The hellbrokeloose gang at Indianola are .
vidently "good republicans" only when they
re in the majority as they have been in
very county convention , save the last one ,
[ nee the organization of Red Willow county. ,
totsucceeding.thls year.in breafeingthe west
od majority by the exercise of all their well- '
nown means and measures , they bolt the
Dnvention like a drove of stampeded cattle. ]
"Taken as a ticket , " says Ananias , speak
ing of the republican county ticket , "it is the
stiiiklngest outfit over offered to the voters
of this county , and should , as it will , meet
tliH indignant condemnation of all just
men without reference to party lines Or to
county-seat matters. "
Shades of swluced , sightless Bacon , gaze
upon this sublime spectacle of gall and in
famy and congratulate yourself that deatli
divorced you !
