The attendance at the republican county mass convention called for last Satuniav was verv small, owing to the fact that the ram kept the fann ers at home, and few even of the city people turned out on account of the heavy down-pmir in progress at the time of tile meeting. The convention was called to order by Chairman Lueschen. and R. P Drake of Humphrey, was cin.sen chairman, with E. H. TiiFany -eer-tary. Frank Schram moved that the delegates Chosen to the collgreSsiolia. convention be instructed to vote and do all in their power to secure the nomination of Judge A. M. Post tr congress. Judge Post announced that he had been very reluctant to allow his name to be considered in c iiinection with the nomination, but at the earnest -oiicitation of friends, both in Platte county ami in other counties 111 the district, hail tinaliy decided to become a candidate.
