That's what we want you to
do rget posted on our stock before
buying elsewhere.
If you do we'll be glad of it ,
because we can save you some
money. We don't mean that we
will sell you a very poor article at
a very low price. We don't do
business that way.
We mean that the prices on
the best goods are the lowest that
you can get.
Come and see.

TWO MORE
Republicans Meet and Nominate Aide and
Wood for Judges
The republicans of this judicial dis
trict met in Cornell Hall , Monday and
were called to order by Judge Walcott ,
who was made temporary chairman.
Fred Whittemore was elected tempo
rary secretary , and then Messrs. Mof-
fat , Skirving , Garcelon. Bresee and
Cornell were given authority to pass
upon the credentials of delegates , and
Myers , Montgomery , Eckles , Weekes
and I3roWn were instructed to frame
the wonderful resolutions which were
presented later on. A committee on
order of businqss and one on perma
nent organization were appointed , and
then the convention adjourned until af
ternoon.-
The chairman called the convention
to order at 1:30 , and the committees
made the usual reports. The resolu
tions were long and as mushy as they
well could be. The } ' "pointed with
pride" and hysterically declared that
McKinley is the greatest president the
country has ever had. They slobbered
all over the platform of ' 96 and swore
all its pledges had been redeemed , and
politely ignoring the fact that a repub
lican legislature turned down an appro
priation for our boys , threw a faded
boquet to the returning soldiers , and
then went off at a tangent denouncing
entangling alliances and "unlawful
trusts , winding up with something re
ferring to cattle rustling.
Weekes of Holt then fired abomb in
to , the convention by moving to allow
each end of the district to nominate a
candidate for judge. Consternation
prevailed , until the motion was laid on
the table by a vote of 36 to 16. An in
formal ballot showed Alder and Fan
ning in the lead , and the iirst formal
ballot resulted : Oilman 7. Alder 25 ,
Dickson 17 , Fanning 19.1 , Wood 13i ,
Clarke 10 , Morgan S. On the fourth
ballot Dawes gave Alder another vote
and Sheridan did the same , whereupon
Alder was declared nominated , having
received 27 votes. This disposed of
Dickson and Morgan also , and Clarke
dropped out also. Three more ballots
were taken , when Keva Paha divided a
its three votes and nominated Wood ,
the vote standing : Gilman 7 , Fanning Q
m , Wood 25 } .
Alder was then called for and neatly .
thanked the convention for the honor .
it had conferred upon him , and briefly
a
rehearsed his fife history. Wood came
for word and made a redhot political er
speech , and took occasion to compare st
McKinley with Washington and Lin
3Jc or

Dicksoii then came forward and ate his
dish of crow , followed in turn by Fan- hs
ning , Gilman and Morgan. Clarke refused - .
in
fused to respond , and the love feast
ftei L
ended , the candidates and delegates M
getting away on freight trains as rap of
idly as possible. Enthusiasm for the is
ticket was noticeable by its absence , la
the "most sanguine feeling that they had St
only a partial show for one place. ac
