The convention emphasized the fact
that time brings its compensation?
Long John Trompen has been before
the republicans of Lancaster county for
twenty-one years, and although his
name has frequently been before con
ventions it was not until this week that
political fortune came to him. And A.
M. Trimble is another republican of
long standing who gets his reward late
in life. Trompen and Trimble are both
good men and it is right that they
should have been nominated.
The nominations for judges of the dis
trict court give general satisfaction
Holmes and Hall are good men on the
bench and Cornish will make an accept
able complement of the judicial trio.
Elmer Stephenson accepted the sit
uation gracefully. He made friends
by his speedy and unconditional
surrender.
The Courier said Mr. Baer would
be renominated for county superinten
dent, with Corey left in line for the
nomination two years hence. And it
was even so.
Jim Caldwell made a partieula.ly
happy speech. Caldwell is popular, but
Monday was not his day in court.
A considerable factor in the triumph
of Sam E. Low at the county conven
tion was C. M, Branson of Yankee
Hill. Mr. Branson was a candidate for
clerK of the district court and came
into the convention with the eleven
votes of his own precinct and a much
larger outside following, lie sized up
the situation and promptly decided to
cast his entire strength to Mr. Low, and
his speech announcing that "Sam E.
Low was good enough for him," was
one of the most effective delivered at
the convention. It was just after this
that Elmer Stephenson rose and an
nounced his withdrawal. Mr. Branson
held what many regarded as the key to
the situation, and his prompt action in
sinking his own candidacy in the interest
of Low was the turning point. Mr.
Branson is generally congratulated on
his graceful act.
It doubtful if anyone present in the
convention felt a keener delight in the
nomination of Low than Harry Reese.
Reese was an enthusiastic Low man
from the start, and when his candidate
was nominated by acclamation this
young man's conduct was exuLerant
beyond description. It would have
scandalized his father, the dean and ex
chief justice. It was the young men
that made Low the victor in the Fourth
ward and the nominee of the conven
tion. A group of young men in the
Fourth ward that contributed largely
to Low's triumph at the primaries was
made up of Lou Stewart, W. F. Kelley,
Ray Merrill, Lew Marshall, Aaron
Buckstatr, Matt Baldwin, and Joe Mal
lalieu. There were many combinations
arranged between Saturday morning
and Monday noon. It would take a
a great deal of space to recount them
all. New ones were made every few
hours; and the slate was in a constant
process of transformation. Something
of a 6care was caused early in the
ame by the announcement that things
had been arranged so as to make
Caldwell and Cornish nominees for
judge, diopping Hall ic the Fourth and
taKing in Holmes. This deal was first
figured up something like this: Holmes,
Cornish and Caldwell for judges of the
district court; Gran Ensign for sheriff;
Melick and R. D.Spelts Tor deputy sher
iffs; Cochran for county judge; E. B.
Stephenson for clerk of the district
court, and P. J. Dore for county clerk.
It was talked that the First ward would
turn :n21 votes, the Second 25 votes, tho
Third 1G votes, the Fourth 48 votes, the
Fifth 50 votes, the Sixth HI votes, the
Seventh 25 votes, and Lancaster pre
cinct 2 T votes, a total of nearly 270 votes.
But this combination didn't stick very
long; it was soon changed by dropping
Ensign and taking up Trompen for
sheritT, and there was a 6trong effort
made to put this through. But the
scheme miscarried.
It is not often that a ticket is nom
inated with as littlo bitterness as was
manifested at tho convention. Thero
were a largo number of defeated can
didates; but without an exception they
accepted the result with equanimity;and
since Monday there has been no evi
dence of dissatisfaction. Tho unsuc
cessful candidates are strong in praise
and support of tho ticket. Pat Dore,
who entered the convention at noon
Monday with more votes promised him
than were necessary t nominate, was
made to fei the uncertainty of politics;
but he met defeat bravely and ho is not
finding any fault.
Alva Smith had some reason to be
disappointed at the failure to deliver
promised votes; but he clambered into
the band wagon and is satisfied with
the result. It is no secret that Mr.
Smith's services will be secured in the
conduct of the sheriff's office when
Trompen succeeds Miller.
Harry Wells received loyal support
from the Fourth ward as long as he
asked it and tho fact that the Fourth
ward vote was cast for Trimble on the
last ballot for county clerk, warrants
the belief that he will be retained as
deputy.
Stephenson and Waite didn't get
anything out of the convention; but
they are not complaining, and are mak
ing additional friends by their course.

HOT SALT BATHS
One day I wandered through the mossy
wood
In search of fragrant flowers,
I found them wet with dew, and rich
with scent
Amid the tangled bowers.
But I soon grew weary of their loveliness
For, high above my head
Amid the crags, I saw a poppy flaunt
Its crown of wanton red.
I dropped the paler flowers at my feet,
My one supreme desire
Was but to gain the gorgeous painted
bloom
That glowed with amorous fire.
At last with hands all scarred and bruis
ed and torn
I grasped the brilliant flower
And lo! ite petals fell upon the rocks
A useless scattered flower.
And thus alone life's way the pleasures
bloom
But those that nearest lie
We scorn, and think that those beyond
our reach
Alone will satisfy.
But when we have them .in our eager
grasp
The pleasures they implied.
But fade, and mock our deep desire,
and wo
Are still unsatitied.
