A. Anderson; Kechi, H. L. Dewing; Morton, J. L. Randall. Tho chairman declaring the convention ready to receive nominations for probate judge, was suggestive that the time for real business had arrived. In but a moment si lence reigned supreme, and wide open eyes indicated that something was expected to "drap." Under such Circumstances Mr. Roberts, of Ninuescah township, gained the the floor and in a few well-chosen words pre sented tho name of E. B. Jewett tho present incumbent. J. R. Snively nominated W. T. Buckner. He said that although Buckner had not been in this county long he had thoroughly convinced his many acquaint ances that he could bo trusted and confidence placed in him. At tho close of his remarks Mr. Ford stated that many of the candidates were strangers to a number of the delegates who were very anxious to see them so he suggest ed that they be trotted upon tho stage for in spection. This by no means had a silencing effect ui the convention. Many of the can didates about this time wore an "excuse me please,' look which it was thought assisted in nipping th'e suggestion which prevented it from grow ing into a motion. Farmer Doolittle seconded the nomination of Jewett. After referring to the importance of the office he proceeded to speak of the rumor that he could not le elected if nominated. As evidence that it was entirely unfounded he referred to the election returns of '82 and '84, when each time ho had run ahead of the ticket over 2,000 votes. These phenomena ho did not consider indicated that Mr. Jewett would either be defeated or bring up the tail end of the ticket. The vote was then taken with the follow ing result: Jewett ! 120 Buckner 40 Mr. Jewett was declared nominated amid the first triumphant cheer of the day. His nomination being made unanimous ho was called upon for a speech by hundreds of voices. "I am profoundly greatful to you,' he said when a part of the noise had taken a leave of absence. ''This is the sixth time I have asked for favors and you have granted them. I think this will bo the last time until I take a little rest. I have all kindly feeling for my opponent. He has treated me fairly. My success is probably due to the fact that I am better acquainted in the county.' Mr. Buckner was then called, who said it looktxl a little unkind to call upon a defeated candidate. He said thero was a frinndly feeling between him and his opponent, and he intended to support the nominee heartily. Messrs. Abraham Wight, Cr H Duliugand E. B. Dunbar were placed m nomination for clerk of district court. Their nominations were not accompanied by auy long winded speeches, and the vote was soon taken, which resulted as follows: Wright ioi Lulmg US Dunbar 3 Mr. Wright being called upon for a speech, stated that it was his maiden effort and hence the convention would not insist that ho should entertain them but a short time. Upon motion of Luling. this nomination was made unanimous. The chairman then announced that tha next tiling in order was tha selection of a candidate for county attorney. This information by no means detracted from the interest in the occasion. Some of the Democrat in the gallery pricked up their ears and their looks made the reporter think of what one of their number said but an hour before when he the Dem was hoping the "boys would get into a row." Mr. H. R. Watt in a few words nominated J. M. Balderston. Farmer Doolittle proposed the name of G. W. C. Jones. He said he had known him for fifteen years. His long acquaintance en- j abled him to place him in nomination. He said he had worked hard and long and no one was more deserving of the honor. Mr. J. D. Huston said: "Jones has the ability to perform the duties of the office and has always been loyal to the party. I can assure you that he will support the nominee if he is not nominated. He has in tegrity, no man can gain-cay thai. He has a big heart, a sound bead, and if placed on our ticket will be elected." His speech was followed with protracted applauso and cheers. The vote was as follows: Jones no Balderston 31 Hatton 20 Morris 9 Before the vote was counted, cries for Jones went up from every portion of tho house. The call for order by the chairman, and his vigorous pounding upon the table for a time had but little effect. Finally it weak ened and tho official announcement was made seemingly in a hurry, before the wave could rebound. The news-, if it may so bo called. gave a new impetus to the boundless 1 enthusiasm. It rang out loud-andlongana long and loud, until verily, it did seem that the walls of the building trembled. T- Finally the successful candidate found himself before the assembly. He tried in vain for a moment to ,get the chairman to hear him a distance of twelve or fif teea feet, but the latter seeing what was wanted nod ded assent, and then he turned to tho crowd to await its pleasure. At last the noise sub sided sufficiently for him to commence. "'I thank you, gentleman of the convention," he said, "most heartily for this honor. I am for the nominee."' This proved sufficient caue for auother outburst of prolonged cheers. "I have tried to treat my opponents with fairness and I hope I have succeeded. I again thank you for the nomination. When he had finished someone called for "three cheers for Jones.' Three good round Republican cheers followed in regular cadence. This seemed to render the enthusi asm controlable. Mr. Balderston was then called. He slowly stepped to the front in response. He stated that ha had performed tho duties of the office to the best of his ability. Ho was confident that no one could say he had not done his duty as county attorney. He assured the convention that he would support the nom "nation. Mr. Hatton being called appeared with a speech that drew out several rounds of ap plause. He said: I have not got a single thing to kick about. Have known Mr. Jones for years and he is as good a boy as God ever made. You could not have selected a man in the county except myself that I would rather see have tho position. Cheers. He will perform the duties of tho office to the very best of his ability, and he has the ability to do it well. It is useless for me to say I support him. I will do all in my power to help him and ho will be elected by a rousing majority." Mr. Morris, who had also appeared in the balloting, was called. Ho said the support he received was unsolicited by him, as he was not a candidate. He had no fears but th'e n"ien who voted for him would vote for the nominee. Ho thought it the duty of every delegate to vote for all tho ticket. "The Democrats," he said "sjay they can beat such and such a man, but I say every man that is or will be placed on that ticket will bo elected."' He was given a hearty cheer for his good prophecy. The fight for superintendent of public in struction v. as next called. Mr. John V. Koogle was soon upon his feet for the pur pose of nominating Prof. D. S. Pence. He said that the Professor had not been here long but the many w ho were acquainted with him were certain of his ability to do all tha business connected with the office. He had made his own way through this world and merited tho position. Mr. E. W. Phillips seconded the nomina tion of Prof. Pence. Ho said he would visit ever' school in the county iu less than twelve months. J. R. Snively stated that lis had known the professor for years and he would be glad to vote for him. A.B. Minnick nominated Prof. B D. Ham mond tlu present incumbent. He said he had performed the duties of the oflico well and he deserved a second nomination. J. D. Caldwell then gained the iloor and stated that he ha 1 ma le arrangements with Farmer Doolittle to place him before tho convention, but tho many speeches of the latter had about pumped him out of wind, and as he was well supplied with that article he would speak for himself. He declined to have his name placed before the convention and said ho did not draw off in favor of any particular candidate. He told his friends to vote for their choice and said he would wil lingly support the nominee. The following is tha vote: Pence l.i' Hammond 37 Prof. Pence was 'declared by tke chair nominated, and Prof. Hammond moved that the nomination be made unanimous, which carried with another good sized cheer. Prof. Pence responded to the usual call for the candidate speech in a fitting manner, and Prof. Hammond took his defeat manly and stated he would support the nomination. This completed tha work for the county convention. Everything passed off harmon iously and not a single defeated candidate made a "kick' with a howl that he would not support tho ticket. After the conven tion was over many were hoard say tlia per sonnel could not have been better. All seem ed to be delighted with the day's work and confident that when the sun goes down on the day of election, that victory will have perched itelf upon the Republican banners.

The Lewis Academy opens- its doors to pu pil . f( r the first time tomorrow morning, Monday, September 6, 15G. That it will prove a success from the start there can be no doubt. That it will attain a high stand ing among the educational institutions of the state we are fully persuaded. Cities no more than individuals are the arbiters of their own fortunes. Wichita never dreamed of being anvthing eL-e than a commercial city, almost spurnmr everything that did not tent! to sp-jr on to that coal. But it now sms that Wich ita i to be the educational center of the state. There is no longer any doubt of it. A city here and there boast? a Cmver-ity ora College or an Academy or a fine system of pub lic schools, bat within a short time Wichita will bi boasting of all Xh&ri. The chancellor of the state university tays oar public schooU areuncrcellsd; our academy oins to-morrow; tha wails of the university are now going up, and the ground for the col lege of the Kansas Reform chorea were se cured near the city the pat e:k. So it will bo seen that while Wichita ha tsx carelesa of this great iatarest, whieh othir cities have been stirring for, Wichita ia spite of herself, becomes the Athen of her stale. As for the Lewis Academy, It kae a great friend in the Eaglz, a tricod wko not only I ndorses the liberal qbb who foondad it bat wko will note iU fatare progress wiA no naU degree of prida.
