The sentiment eemed unanimous that the strength of the t'cket wae so great ¢s to completely cver- shadow any feeling concerning the Incidental feature of the locality of candidites. Promptiy at 1 o'clock Chairman Hazelton of the county committee called the convention to order and med as tempe 'y chairman ~ W. E. Bainbridge of Council Bluffs. [n taking the chair he reminded the convention that this was not a fusion or a barter of principle for expediehcy. He com- pared the opposition party to the witches’ broth in Shakespeare. No worse matched team was ever hitched up than are Cullison and Weaver, whom he termed the wild ass of the prairie. The business of the hour was to transact republican business. The year was as full of republicanism as the air wa with ozone. The pe were now appealing from their worse to their better judgment. The brief address glowed with enthusiasm, and was warmly responded to by frequent outbursts The temporary organization was then co pletd by selecting G. B. Sellers of Layton as secretary The following committees were by each district Credentials—W. J. Martin, § L. F. Potter, H. L. Roberts, J Theodore Guittar, I. M, Tr«ynor.

Cheyne, G. W. Jenk Castier, on permanent organization wade T. J. Evans chairman, with R. C Barton and W Long as secretari Mr. Evans made no speech, but remarked that they were there for busmess, and so called time. The committee on resolutions decided that there was no use wasting breath on declara- tions denouncing the democratic parly, as tue commercial reports published daily were sufficiently denunciatory of democracy. The report was, therefore, simply a reafirma- tion of the state platform adopted in Des Moines last July. There was a question whether the call for voting should be by districts or by town- ships and precincts. Tt was finally decided to make the call by districts. The nomination of J. M. Matthews for auditor and W M. Shepherd for county recorder were quickly disposed of, one m tion covering both, and the vote being acclamation and unanimous. There was no time wasted speeches. Freeman Reed, W. F. Sapp, jr., and W. H. Kilpeck of Neola were simply 1 each mention applauded. The called on an informal ballot, and in nominating mber of v ry to a cha Ly Kilpack A A formal ballot was then taken, resulting the nomination of Fre:man B. Reed for county clerk, he getting 84 votes, Sapp 30, and Kilpack 13. Reed’s nomination was then made unani- mous by @ motion made by Mr. Kilpack and by Mr. Sapp, end these two gentlemen were appointed to escort Mr. Reed to the rostrum, but Mr. Reed was not within reach, and so a speech was missed. . Business was continued in the same good- natured, enthusiastic manner. For county attorney the name of C Saunders was presented by Dr. Gordon. H. V. Battey of Walnut called attention to the fact that every candidate was & voter from Council Bluffs, and yet they only cast one-third the votes. Had two-thirds of the republicans no rights because they did not live in Council Blufls? He wanted to nomi- nate Tom Bardsley of Layton. Mr. Preston of Layton presented figures showing that the east end of the county had to be depended on for giving republican ma- Jorities, and that it had given Jackson a Dlurality of 200, while the west end had got 50 in the habit of voting d:mocratic that it gave Boies a plurality of 500. He thought the east end should have a say In making up a ticket The informal ballot was a hot one, it stand- Ing: 73 for Bardsley, 78 for Saunders and 1 for Frank Shinn, this vote belng cast early in the call by a Norwalk delegate, who, in his joking mood, little rialized the weight of the one vote. The announcement of the re- sult of the vote ca’led Mr. Shinn to the front as holding the balance of power, and he made a short-distance, speedy . talk, in which h disavowed his desire for office. The formal ballot was not so uncomfortably . and the Nerwalk delegate threw away his single vote with impunity, this time csting it for Harry Roberison of Neola. ingles did not count much, though, for the vots stood: Saunders, 81; Bardsley, 65 Mr. Bardsley made the motion to make unanimous the nemination of Mr. Saunders as county attorney. He was appointed a committes to escort Mr. Saunders o the platt:rm: “Come on, Charley," he called out, and “Charley” came. Mr. Bardsley himself performed the needless t:sk of In- troducing Mr. Ssunders, and did It in such a graceful end magnanimous way that the delegates cheered and cheered agin, when he culogized his competitcr for honor and said he felt proud that he had succeeded in keep- ing %o close up to Saunders' fiying heels. Mr. Saunders tdded to the enthusiasm by a short, crisp speech. He gratetully ac- knowledged the gracefulness and friendli- ness <f Bardsley's tribute, and expressed re- gret that all the worthy onmes of the party could not be honored. In the republican y there were so many giod men from m to choose that It was not necessary to Import candidates frem outside, as did their democratic friends. Mr. Saunders gave a little rample of how he can do c:mpaign talking *. Bardsley was again called out and sald it there was suy spot where he was needed (o raise 4 hornet’s nest to drive democrats out, and he couldn't get anybody else to do it. he would answer the call. He thought it was a g-0d thing to nominate eindidates right whero the demoerats were in the ma- jority. That was the way to capture the enemy, and convert them. He thought, therefore, It was a gcod policy to select th ticket of the dsy, all the candidates being residents of Council Blufls If Kane J. THE_OMAHA DAIL Y BEE: would look after itselt and do its duty, the east end cf the county would not be found want ng. The selection of two supervisors then came on. The names of B. G. Auld of Wright, 1 B. Matlock of Cresent, Perry Kearney of Silver Creck were presented. The d:legate presenting the last name had the temerily to suggest that if there was no one opposed to Kearney it might bhe made unanimous After the laughter had subsided Norwalk township presented the name of Jacob Han- sen of Hazel Dell. J. Butler of Hazel Dell was also named It was decided that the decision be reached by a formal ballot and the two highest to be the nominees. Under this arrangement B. G. Auld of Wright and Perry Kearne of Silver Creek were nominated as commiss ers, the ballot standing: B. G. Auld Perry Kearney, 88; Jacob Hansen, €2 Butler, J. B, Matlock, 16. A move was made to select f the county central committee the present hairman, A. 8. Hazelton, but that gentle- man headed it off by declining to serve longer, he having worked in this capacity for five years. He suggested the uname of T. C. Dawson. This suggestion was earried out by a vote, and by a call for “Tom" Dawson, who responded with a_brief thank you, instead of a speech, assuring the con- vention that he would do his level best. For an assistant to look especlally after the east end Mr. Bardsley was selected, but he declined, stating that the east end didn't need any. He suggested that they put about three a ants in Council Bluffs, but none was needed for the east end. The matter was then left with the county committee, and an adjournment taken.

BENNISON B Coucll Bluffs, Didn't Care for Expenses The old Green-Skinner fend, which has kept the social clrcles of the island in Lake Manawa all in a turmoil at intervals for several years past, broke cut in a fresh place day before yesterday. A fre--for-all fight took place, in which Mamie Skinner and Walter Hickey were the party of the first part and Willle Green, Otto Bromquist and Ernest Wright made a focbls effort to hold down the other side of (he contr versy. All used brick bats, revolvers and anything else that happened to come handy. The Green outfit came Uy town to SW.Ar out & warrant for the arrest of Mrs. Skinner. While they were gone Mrs. Skinner and the Hickey boy, it is charged, broke the I ck off the door of the Green manglon, threw the furnitur: out into the place where the street might have been, and literally tore the louse to pleces, carrying the fragments of the bay windows and mansard roof in the direction of the four winds and scattering fragments of French plate glass cverywhere. Mrs. Skinner was finally argested by Constable Baker. Just after they had started up town Baker heard a crash and went back to find out what was the matter. He found that Mra. Green had made up her mind to get revenge for the havoe that Mrs. Sk'nner had wrough at her home, and with a huge corn knife was in the act of ripping open the back door of Mrs, Skinner's residence. Baker tiok the corn knife away from (he irate woman and persuaded her to go lome and sin no more.

WICHITA, Kan., Sept. 1 special to the Bagle by way of Sasakwawewoka and Tecumseh from Stonewall, in the Chickasaw nation, brings information to the effect that King Blue, the leader of the Chickisaw Negro-Indians, is in open rebellion. The in- surrectionists have gone out on a maraud'ng tour and are terrorizing the India and especially the squawmen, day, the band headed by K down on the farm of George H. Truax, p-st master at Stonewall. The negroes came down on the ferm at midday. Truax, @ white man and squaw were led from th house and bound with ripe and held pris oners, King Blue and his band then pro ceeded to destroy everything in the house they could nct cat and drink, and after sat- istying themselves, rode awsy howling and screeching. Neighibors found Truax and hix wife and released them. Other Indian citi- zens have been similarly treated and the castern part of the Chickassw naticn is in a state of terror. It is sald that the Chicka- saw government is thinking of taking steps to put them out as intruders, This could be done under the Chickasaw or United States laws, as the negroes have no legal right t lands in the Chickasaw nation, and are not even adopted citizens. King Blue, while an old man, is very strong physically and a natural leader of surprising tact. He was chosen king of the Negro-Indians shortly after the war and he exercises an absolute tyranny over his followers. g Blue, swept Miss Ga NEW YORK, Sept. today denied the report that Anna, now_in Paris, had b te Prince Francis of Battenb the sixth engagement of Miss mored within the past year. el ol LR FORECAST, dwin Ciguld his sister me engaged .
