at Today's County
Convention.
Splendid Order Prevailed, and Due le-
li&Eratisn was Given to the Nam

HEARST OPPOSITION
TO BRYAN.
HIGH TRIBUTE TO
SHERIFF STEVENS.
From Saturday's Daily.
The Democracy oi Wayne county
surely never showed to better advan
tage than in its county convention in
thi city loday when it named the
county and legislative ticket that ia to
achieve victory at the polls in Novem
bei. '
The convention was called to order
by Secretary Parker, in the absence of
Chairman Dickinson, and Mr. P. A.
Daniels was asked to act as temporary
chairman. He stated briefly the ob
ject of the convention and called the
roll of precincts; and as these all re
ported, ho declared the convention
ready for business.
The temporary organization was made
permanent, with Mr. Tobe Harreil as
assistant secretary, and nominations
were declared in order beginning, as
customary ith the sheriff. The present
excellent and popular incumbent,
Mr. Everitt A. Stevens, was placed in
nomination, and immediately his
hitherto opponent Mr. Will Grant,
seconded the nomination in grace
ful words and moved that it be made
unanimous. There being no ether nom
inations this course was spontaneously
adopted in splendid spirit that was a
proud OTation to so worthy an official
as Sheriff Stevens has proven.
Register of Deeds was next in order,
and this began the real tug of war that
characterized the convention for the
balance oi its sittine. The names ol
Messrs. L. H. Reeves, W. G. Britt, W
A. Copeland and Capt. A. J. Brown
were each heralded to the convention
by staunch advocates and eloquently
seconded by others and then the vot
ing began. Four ballots were taken
without a nomination and without
change. Then Captain Brown with
drew. The fifth ballot resulted in no choice,
and. so until the 14th ballot, when Mr.
W. G. Britt, the present efficient in
cumbent was returned for another
term.
Nominations for Treasurer came
next. There were Messrs. J. H. Hill,
Jr., W. A. Potts, A. B. Hollo well and
the present incubent J. W. Thompson,
who on the 5th ballot ws again given
the office.
Mr. Car) E. Stanley was by accla
mation renominated for Coroner, and
by acclamation Mr. J. L. Barham was
nominated for the Senate, a high hon
or, and worthily bestowed for he is in
every way qualified to represent
Wayne county in the upper branch of
the General Assembly with credit and
usefulness.
For the lower house Messrs. Jno
M. Mitchell, of Fork township, and J.
I. Kelly, of Mt. Olive, both excellent
men.
By acclamation Mr. W. R. Hollowoll
who so efficiently served the county
for two years in the "very responsible
position of Chairman of the Board of
County Commissioners, was again
chosen for that office, and up to the
time of going to press his associates
had not been nominated.
Upon His Return From Europe Mr. Hearst
Lost no Time in Getting Down ti
Work in Anticipation of the
National Campaign.
! Special to the Argus.
New York, July 20. With one ex
ception all of the presidential tickets
have been named tor the November
election. The exception is the ticket
to be placed in the field by the National
party, better known as the National
Independence League, ot which Wil
liam R. Hearst is the founder and guid
ing spirit.
The candidates for President and
Vice-President will be, named by the
National Independence party at a con
vention to be held in Chicago next
week. At the headquarters of the
party in this city it was said today
that the arrangements for the conven
tion are about completed and that a
laree and representative attendance is
assured. Great uncertainty exists as
to who will head the ticket. Up to the
present time the only person whose
nn mo has heen at all prominently men
tioned in connection with the honoris
Thomas L. Hisgen, a man of wealth
and a fierce opponent of the trusts, who
ran for governor of Massachusetts a
year ago on the Independence League
ticket.
Upon his recent return from Europe
Mr. Hearst lost no time in getting
down to work in anticipation of the
National campaign. It was predicted
all along that the Hearst forces would
not lift a hand to prevent the nomina
tion of Mr. Bryan for the Democrats,
but would work strenuously to prevent
the Nebraskan's election. The predic
tion did not wait long for fulfilment
The morning following the nomination
ot Mr. Bryan by the Denver convention
the Hearst newspapers in this city con
tained editorials that made it plain
that Mr. Bryan could not count on the
support of Hearst in the campaign.
All efforts of Mr. Bryan to conciliate
the New York editor will prove futile
in the belief of political leaders hero
Mr. Hearst has an old score to settle
with his contemporary of the "Com
moner." After enthusiastically sup

an's campaign will have at least one
novel feature," said William E. Gon
zales, editor of the State, who returned
yesterday from a trip to the West dur
ing wnicn lie twice visitea me .uemo
cratic standard-bearer at Fairyiew.
"That feature will be the resort to
the pen rather than the tongue; to the
press rather than the platform.
"When I appealed to Mr. Bryan to
make as vigorous a canvas as in 1896,"
said Mr. Gonzales, "he reminded me
that he was twelve years older, and be
sides, said Mr. Bryan, 'I believe I can
be more effective in writing arguments
for Democracy that newspapers can
use if they will, over my signature.'
"When I saw him last week it was
Mr. Bryan's intention to deliver two,
perhaps three, speeches in New York
State, one of them in New Yerk city,
and six or eight speeches in the States
of Illinois, Ohio and Indiana. He pro
poses to discuss fully some one Demo
cratic principle in each ot these ad
dresses. The remainder of the cam
paign Mr. Bryan expects to stay at
home and prepare letters or articles in
the nature of signed editorials for such
newspapers as will use them. He will
also diseuss the issues with any Demo
cratic speakers that wish to consult
him.
"The West iagiving Mr. Bryan much
encouragement and he is very hope,
ful markedly more buoyant than be
fore the convention."

commenced to draft his speech of ac

The speech will not be revised and

tributlons.
