Republican convention, Saturday, August 30. Wm. F. Cotton, Wabannsce, chairman; W. K. Beach, Grant, secretary.
The opposition papers in the county during the campaign referred to the Alliance as the "Line-Back-Steer Party." But the name ap- peared to have no particular effect on the result.

NOTES.
Republican county convention. Tuesday, August 21. W. H. Mel- rose. Eskridge. chairman : J. B. Fields. Alma, secretary.
People's Party convention. Saturday, September 1. Dow Busen- bark, Eskridge. chairman : Win. Tren. Alma, secretary.
The Democrats desired that J. H. Jones should succeed himself as county attorney, and that L. T. Rice should again be a candidate for the office of prohate judge, but a resolution against a third term gave the nomination for county attorney to A. A. Sturgis, and J. H. Jones was nominated for probate judge. By reason of the strained relations existing, and the lack of a concert of action, the entire Republican ticket was elected. With Democratic representation on the ticket, or with nominations in accord with the wishes of the Democrats, the re- sult might have been different.
