The position iu Iho republican
and populist parties presents quite a
contrast in Iho mailer of candidates
for office. In Iho populist parly
nearly a acoro have announced Ihoir
dcsiro for office. Insleadol ihoofiico
seeking candidates , wo find men
"log rolling" and forming every
conceivable combination in order
lo secure the party nomination. It
is different with republicans. These
who aru competent and worthy of
support iu Ihu republican parly
have a business of their own that
they prefer to look after , rather
then nccopl a county otliuo. They
prefer to continue iu Ihoir several
vocations , and give Iho officers an
opportunity lo aeok llie man. If
selected by Ihoir parly , nothing
shorl of Ihoir loyally to the priu-
oiples of their parly would induce
thym to accept. Bui this scramble

thu kind of reform they have boon
