A Poresone Conclusion.
It was a forert ne oonclnsion lone 1f ore
tbe convention met las.t eveniup thatHon
James E. Boyd -would havf a clear walk
away for tbe nomination. For tbat raawvn
any delegates or f.j > ectaMrs present vie an-
icipated u ficht in the convention were sadly
disappointed. There were those xvbo ei-
? cted Charlie Brown to carry his opposition
ntotbeopura house ai d dosoaaethitifivitb
tbt > tthe vote of Donplus county showstuathe
acl ; l snfSdent biickinp to make even a pre-
nse > at eJwtioaoerinc. Durint : tbe flay ilr.
Urown said that if Boyd received tbe nomi
nation he would support him. All the other
candidates , if there ever tvere any , dropped
) Dt of the raoe entirely except John sberria.
: Je would have dotie the same thing had it
not txiea for tbe fact that a iew counties de
sired to cire him a complimentary vote. The
nomination of Mr. Boya is well received by
.be leaders of all factions. Brown of oonn *
was opposed to and refused to vote for hid ,
jat accepts the sit uaiion crscefuily.
