Didn't Want the Honor (f)- The conveiMion held in Iliis r;lty last week to nomínate ;i eancüdate for suite senator in this district, was a great affair. No wonder Capt. Manly passed the word around among his friends, after he got there chat 'ie didn'i want the nominatlon. No one blames htm. It was (he most gamated coniílomeration of politica! "principies" that any one has seen for many a day. McDougail ifulcted - The silver republicana and xhe, pops thai formed the mass convention at tho recent representative convention which the Courier told about, were tliere, together with Mr. Witig, and ai ex-republican from Jackson eounty. Then the prohibitionists were out in usual forcé. These all "collnded" with the soft democrats, and the result was McDougall. Peters Tells All About It- After the nomination speeches were called for and Hon. Gus. Peters responded. He recited a tale ■! woe that iras more effectlng tlian the Tail of one of the famous killkenny eats, o rthe monster sea serpent. He said the farmers had been completely overwhelmed, drownded in pure, unadulterated misery, and it wasn't due to the tariff nor anything of that kind. It was due to the demonetization of silver, to that cussed act of 1873, passed in the night, in the dark, by a trick, and through fraud. He said the ropublicans needn't lie about it, he "knew that the act was passed by congress when there dldn't three men in that body know what they were doing.'1 "iïow I'll teil you where you can find out all about it," said Gus. "You 'ust get Harvey's Coin book, called Coin's Financial School;' that's got the huil thing in just as it was done." The populistic orator closed with an effecting peroration in which lie asserted that "this year we'll lick the cussed money power, the Wall street sharks, out of their boots." (Great applause.) Boylan Has a Reason - Then Chas. Boylan was called upon and gave his views from a prohibition standpoint. He said that both the old parties ought to die, and he wanted to help kill them, and this year they were going to commence by killing the republicana, (using the democrats as a tooi). The reason he would not vote for MeKinley was because he (JIcKinley) owned a building that was rentedfor state ticket, and pledged the party to stand by the combine. He said this. -would b-.í tlie first time In soiï.e 20 years that he had had an opportunity to vote for anyne who had a chaii'-; of bei:ig eleeted, (referring no doubr. ío thir. two prohibitionists on the democratie state ticket.) (Great is principie in politics !) Spalding is All Right - Others veré called upon and excused themselves. A Mr. Ware, of Jackson, who pretends to have formerly been a republican, got up and gave Gen. Spalding a dig, aecusing hlm of pretending to favor silver ideas when he voted in congress with sound money men. For the benefit of the gentleman it might be well to state that Mr. Spalding stands where he has always stood, for the free coinage of silver and gold at the true or commercial ratio, or by international agreement, the only sane inethod. He has never yet tried to deceive nis saloon purposes. At least iie H;id heard that to be a fact, and a friend of his here in the city lyid wrltten to McKirley some two or three weeks ago, and asked if that was true, and no attentlon had been paid to the letter. Thai was why he believed the story and should vote for Bryan. The speaker seemed very jubilant over the fact that the demócrata liad put some proliibltionists on their
