BOURBONISM.
Convention of the TTcterrified
Democracy.
A Slow Affair More like a Prayer -
er Meeting than Anything
Else.
Mot Over Fifty Persons , All Told ,
were Present.
A convention of the unterrified
Bourbon. Democracy of Douglas
County was called for 2 o'clock at the
Court House , Saturday afternoon ,
but it was long after that hour be-
foio a sufficient number of straight-
outs could be roped into the court
room to make a respectable show
ing , and they were only gathered
in after the most strenuous exer
tions on the part of liie recruiting
agents. The Democracy was
decidedly slow , a marked
characteristic of that played
out body. When the convention
finally did assemble , there didn't
appear to be enough life in it to let
anybody , who was not posted , know
that it was anything but a prayer
meeting or a funeral- The expres
sion of every man seemed to indi
cate that the Democrats have al
ready given up hopes of victory this
fall. Had an electric battery been
applied to each member of the con
vention , it could not have animated
the political corpse.
When the convention was called
to order theio were not over fifty
persons present , among the most
noticeable of tbe Democrats being
Cupt Wilcox , Dr. Conkling , T W T
Richards , Steve Mealio , Pat Doran ,
J F Morton , E L Emory , Charley
Brown , Ferguson , J P Bartlutt , M
Donovan , Col Savage , Ex-tsherifl
Grebe , Eemy Lauer , JNlr Krutli , M
J McKilligou , Loriu Miller , Charles
Brandos.
Col. Savage called the prayer
meeting to order , by three raps of
his cane
Col. Savage was nominated tem
porary chairman , and Mr. Ferguson
temporary secretary , after T. W. T.
Richards declined the honor on
good ground ho was not a mem
ber of the convention.
On motion ot M. Donovan , a com
mittee of 5 was appointed on cre
dentials , as follows :
Donovan , Leary , McArdle , Law
less , and Bartlett.
The delegates now took seats in
side the railing , there not being over
15 present. They presented the ap
pearance of pall bearers , aud evi
dently didn't want to be crowded.
An intermission now ensued , for
the purpose of sending out for more
recruits. Dr. Miller had not yet
put in an appearance.
The committee on credentials re
ported the delegates entitled to
seats , aud their report was adopted.
The convention again slowed up ,
Some ono foundanimatlon enough
to move that the temporary organi
zation be made permanent.
At this point the BEE reporter be
came convinced that the conven
tion had got a bad attack of the
rheumatism , and would npyer Ret
through their business , as they
moved so slowly ; he accordingly
left In disgust , thinking that an
affair , in which so little interest was
manifested by the mournful partici
pants , could not be of very great in
terest to the general public. No re-
fiqrtcr wzvs ever called upon to
chronicle an eyent of so little im
portance as this.
