VALENTINE
Published for Four Years as
CHERRY COUNTY INDEPENDENT
REPUBLICANS
Nominate Ed Clarke for Conuty At
torney and Dr JLewis lor Coroner
The republican convention was call
ed to order in Cornell Hall Saturday
afternoon by Chairman Eeece who
started the ball rolling with an ex
cellent speech He said he was not
ashamed of the republican party and
since no one had ever accused him of
such a thing it rather indicated the
fact that there is something about the
party that is shameful Therein Mr
Eeece is right The convention was
organized by the election of J C Petti
john chairman and W S Barker sec
retary Judge Tucker moved to al
low all those present without creden
tials to vote but was ruled out of or
der by the chair T P Spratt J W
Tucker and Ely D Valentine were ap
pointed a committee ou credentials
C H Cornell W Honey M E
cei jtf noDson ana a winsiaw were
given the job of preparing resolutions
for the convention J W Tucker J
A Hooton and P W Pruden were in
structed to report a peimanent organ
ization and the convention adjourned
until 1 p m
Upon reassembling the temporary
organization was made permanent
the credentials committee reported
and the committee on resolutions read
the following
I The republican part- proud of its- thirty
seven years of humanity development and pro
gress at tins particular time is making history
vhi2h places our nation at the head of the en
lightened nations of the world the admiration
yet at the same time envy of the monarchies of
the old While that isso it is not too much
for us republicans to say that our grand achieve
ments of ths last year are due to the able un
partisan statesmanlike and noble work of our
President Wm McKinley and his able advisers
who averted a war as long as possible but when
war became tkfi only alternative prosecuted it
With a vigorous and determination that has
shown these Uaited States in an altogether new
light We therefore commend every act of our
national administration whether it be finance
commerce or war
II We endorse the republican protective
tariff commpidy known as the DingleyltJlllw
and through its merits watch daily the Increase
in the price of beef mutton wool cereals and
note the advance m wages of every character
even to that of the hay hands of the sand hills
are thankful that we are no longer aimlessly
miring in the slough of despondency but are
steadily marching up the hill of prosperity as
did lately our brave heroes up the hills of El
Caney
III We seud a greeting to our Cherry county
b oys who are off to war We are proud of them
as the best product of our grand republic No
words of praise are too strong for our country
men who are today at the front indicating that
we are a re united country Sank and John
ny fighting side by side all pvoml to be called
Yank Their acts of devotion and sacrifice
make us all proud to be called Yank For
those who fell we feel sure they have met a sol
diers reward and for those who remain we fer
vently hope Cuban tever will not disseminate
where Spanish bullets failed but that they may
very soon ali have landed on our Amercau
shores where our American skill will soon have
restored them to their former health and vigor
Whether we lose them however through bullet
or fevers the republican party stauds where it
alway stood for the liberal care of those who
are disabled1 or are dependent on those who
fell
IV The republican party stands for prin2i
ple has no desire to fuse no combinations to
make to get oillce While many of us appreci
ate an office is a good thing we put party prin
ciples in the foreground and relegate trades
fusion etc to our demopop traders
V In county affairs we are not too narrow
to give credit for etliciency and devotion to the
whole countys interest We therefore com
mend the work of our county commissioners
without regard to party who for the past sever
al years and up to this date through the xer
cise of good businuss sense are bringing the
county so rapidly out of debt aud placing it
among the first of the state
But little enthusiasm was manifest
ed over these resolutions though they
were read very nicely apd with great
dramatic effect Judge Tucker pre
cipitated a great -whirlwind when he1
arose and objected to the use of the
word unpartisan in describing Mc
Kinley and the war The Judge evi
dently wanted it distinctly understood
that this was a republican war fought
by republicans and for republicans
but wiser counsel prevailed and the
resolutions were adopted as read It
will be noticed that while other officials
are endorsed and their acts commend
ed County Attorney Walcott who is
now voluntarily retiring from poli
tics to use his own words after a
service of seven consecutive years as a
republican official is entirely overlook
ed This is gratitude with a vengence
and Walcotts friends are apt to resent
the covert insinuation that he is not
worth endorsing
In a neat speech C H Cornell nom
inated Ed Clarke for county attorney
and the convention made the nomina
tion unanimous
Dr A Lewis nominated J A Hoot
on for coroner but ttatt gfcfttleraan de
clined saying Df is out of
7 iT Zxstt I
-- -
order and out of his head too so I
will nominate Dr Lewiy Despite
the Doctors protestations he was nom
inated
The following delegates were elect
ed
To state convention Viertel
Hooton Thackrey Clarke Pettijohn
and Tucker
To congressional Cornell Lewis
Walcott Vincent Eeece Wm Hook
To senatorial Winship Pruden
Peyton Ormesher Hanchett and Bar
ker
To representative Tucker Spratt
Strong Brewer Clarkson and Kelley
Cornell Polen Honey Viertel and
Tucker were made a committee to fill
vacancies should any occur on ths
ticket
Then came another firey scrap in
which the convention generally took
part Tucker wanted the convention
to nominate a candidate for superin
tendent contingent upon the office be
coming vacant but the rest of the
delegates couldnfe see it that way and
sat down on the Judge The same
thing occurred when he wanted to in
struct delegates to the representative
convention
Through a little manipulation here
in town the commissioner convention
was adjourned to meet in Merriman
on Sept 17 C S Eeece was re-elected
chairman of the county central com
mittee and the following precinct com
mitteemen named after which the
convention adjourned

One of the saddest accidents that
has ever occurred in Chewy county
ftook place in the sand hills southeast
of Valentine laft Sunday afternoon
about I oclock when Eoma and Ver
nia Davis aged 11 and 4 years respec
tively were buried alive by the caving
in of a blowout
In company with friends- tlie two
little fellows went out at 9 oclock to
pick sand cherries After filling their
pails with fruit they went into a blow
out one of those queer cavities form
ed in the sand hills by the action of the
elements- presumably to rest Shortly
after the sand bank fell in burying
the boys beneath it When discovered
by Paxton Horn back and Frankie
Davis Eoma was buried under two
feet of sand and Vernia was almost
covered one little foot alone marking
the resting place of the body The
parents Mr and Mrs E L Davis
were notified and removed the bodies
to their home about six miles west of
Woodlake Funeral services were
held at Woodlake Monday the Eev
Saml Holsclaw preaching the sermonr
which was listened to by a vast eon
conrse of sympathizing friends
The foregoing facts are furnisned
by a friend who trusts that the heart
broken parents will leave all to Him
who doeth all things well and truats
that God will give them grace to so
bear their trial that when the- sum
mons comes they will be prepared to
meet their loved ones in a better land
