Nor wero thoy disap- vointed. Shortly after 2 o'clock, Hon. 1t way called the convention to order. On motion of C. A, Atkiuson, Hon. J. C. F. Me- Kesson, a facmor from Ewerald, was unani- mously chosen chairman. Mr. McKesson made a short but happy speech in taking the chair, His mention of *Blaine and reciprocs ity” was grocted with cheors, On motion of R. D. Stearns, McArthur was chosen secrotary tion of Attorney Greeno H. W, chosen assistant secretary. After tho usual prelimi Phelps Paine moved that Judge Amasa Cobb bo allowed to select the Lancaster county delegates to the state judicial conven tion, Mr. G. A. Bush most omphatically opposed this motion, and declared that since Judge Reese was also a caudidato for supreme judeo and that ho was us compotent for the position as any man in the state, that it was unfair to ignore him 1 such & manner, ilo therefore moved tnat tho various wards and precinets proceed to deciare by ballot their choice for the supremo judgeship.

Johnston and Woodward, the defeated candidates, were called for.' Johnstou finally came forward and scoved the members of the convention for choking off the chances of a third repub- lican candidate for district judge. He de- clared that he bolieved in the priaciples of the republican party instead of a combination with democrats, ““It is cow- ardly in_you,” he continued, “to cnoke off the third candidate. I blame you for enter- ing intoa damnable combinution. It is for the purpose of helping the democratic party. Itis adamnable republican-democratic co bination.” He continued in this strain for about fif- teen minutes, and was frequently inter- rupted with eheers and applause. The Fieid- Hall element finully got mad and sent up a sliout to drown the voice of the speaker. Johuston, however, continued talking until after the yells bogan to die away.
