The report was adopted, and aftr an expression of thanks from the perma nent chairman for the honor conferred, the convention adjourned till - o'clock. All of the committee renortn were udopted without dltwucslon. Democrats Plead Fusion. While the convention way organizing the Democrats of the Third Judicial district, who were then in session In Judgo Stewart's court acrosg the cor ridor, sent a committee to the Republi can convention with a proposal that the Judiciary be kept out of politics by the renorr.lnatlon of the two sitting Judges by both parties, leaving tho other two places vacant on the respective tickets. Thin, it wus pointed out, would lnsuro the re-election of the present bench. Tho Democratic committee waa com posed of Thomas Marshall, C. C. Dey, Jamtfl H. Moyle and A. C Ellis.

After a recess of two hour.? at noon, the committee made the following rec ommendation, which was adopted by an overwhelming vote: "Tour committee, after a patient hear ing of the proposal of the Democratic committee, and after giving it due and proper consideration, earnestly recom mend that the proposal be not adopted', for the following reasons: "Realizing ao wo must, that the mem bers of this convention are only the servants of the Republican!! of this Ju dicial district, and that the Republi cans constitute a large majority of tho citizens and electors of the district, and that the Republican party has ever In the Nation State and county, best served the people, we feel that the peo ple's Interests can be best preserved and the hljrh olllce of Judge be the best filled bv members of the nartv of Lincoln. McKlnley and Roosevelt, we are pro foundly convinced that the members of thlw convention, in the sacred and sol emn discharge of their duty, can best select the Judges of this Judicial dis trict; and In going so will present to tho citizens men of profound ability, spot less Integrity, who can and will, ad minister the law with oven handed Jus tice to the poor and the rich alike, and without fear or favor, or political par tisanship." Contest for Judgeship. Nominations for District Judge being then in order the following names were presented to the convention'. Judge Cliarles W. Morse by Lindsay R. Rogers.

Other names presented were Judge T D Lewis', George F. Goodwin, M. L. Ritchie, C. S. Kinney. D, II. Wenger. G. G. Armstrong, C. S. PatteiTOn and H. S. Tanner. Each name wa3 Introduced by a friend or more and the delegates showed their approval by various degrees of en thusiasm. Some of the speeches were very clever. At one time there was an attempt to nominate Judge Lewis by acclamation, but there being some objection to this, the friends of tho Judge withdrew the motion and Judgo Lewis took his chances with the other candidates. The majority of the delegates were clearly with him. On the first ballot for Judge the result was as follows: First Ballot for Judge. r X a ?3 - 8 S c 5 ? Divisions. f 5. !f.! ; 3 : o : o Ijj!3;:?

After considerable confusion the vote was corrected, but there were no alter ations of the effect of tho changes so ntlons that would affect the fortunes of the condldates concerned. Lewis and Armstrong having re ceived more than 78 votes, the majority of tho convention, were declared nomi nated. Second Ballot for Judge.
