Ihe work of the county Republican
convention here last week commends
i itself in it's entirety to all fair minded
republicans. The ticket is made up of
good, well equipped men for the various
offices within the gift of the people,
and each one gained his nomination
honestly, fairly and impartially. To
say that the convention was packed in
the interest of any faction, man or set
of men, is a gratuitous insult to every
delegate to the convention. On the
hypothesis that a corpse nevev kicks,
the Republican convention was not
one of that kind, and the effort of the
populist organ to make a mountain out
of a molehill, in its spasmodic attack
of last week, is more amusing than
serious. To be sure, there appeared
before the convention two contesting
delegations from one of the townships,
but the chairman, in the fairest manner
appointed one delegate from each town
ship, other than the contesting one. on
the committee on credentials and they
settled the matter to the entire satis
action of the convention, save only
the unseated ones, and the convention
went ahead with its work and made a
wise selection of candidates whom tbe
convention by a rising vote pledged
themselves to stand by and work for,
without one dissenting vote. Does
that look as though the Republicans j
were torn by dissentions and interncine |
strife? Of course, it was expected our
worthy contemporary would, with the j
customary populist howl, attempt to I
decry the convention's work, but the
people, who are used to such pleasan- |
tries on the part of the party of
howls, will take it as a matter of faet
and let it pass as so much wind.
Bro. Brown, of the Times Independ
ent. who hits for lo! these many vears
| upheld the banner of populism and
worked hard for a party that is fast
passing into history a* a has-been, and
even now lias a hold on but few coun
ties in this, the only state, almost, that
has a populist party organization, re
ceived his reward for all these years of
uutiring party work at the late populist
county convention, when as a candidate
for county treasurer he only received a
paltrv tight votes oat of the dying
cause lor the party’s nomination for
that office. Bro. Brown should remem
ber that an editor should coniine him
self to the duties of a *‘hewer of wood
and cariyer of water” for bis party, and
uot aspire to any place of honor or
emoluments. Remember Bro. Brown,
that the offices in many instances go to
those who have done the least for party
w'eal, and that those who do the
drudgery, carry the heaviest burdens
and do the, most to keep the party at
its best, are the last to receive returns.
We are astonished and mystified that
an editor should take in earnest any
pledges looking to party reward.
The late populist party convention
for Sherman county, held in this city
some two weeks since, was a queer
affair. They seem to believe and work
with the end in view that it is perfect
ly right and proper to make fish of one
and fowl of anotner, to use a homely
phrase. They concluded that Supt.
Hendrickson should not succeed him
self in office, because he had held office
several terms, and then re-nominated
Judge Angier for his office, because he
had held the office aspired to a number
of years. To be sure, some of the
populist brethern assured us they pro
vided for Mr. Angier because they had
no other available timber, but others
acknowledged that they renominated
the judge as they were assured lie
would get a large number of republi
can votes necessary to his election,
which a new man could not get. How
is that for party principle? Then we
are to understand they simply nomi
nated the judge to hold the office inside
their party lines!
A correspondent from Ashton to the
Times last week, who - is generally
understood to be a socialist, and who i
a* tempted to break nit > the republican
county convention as a delegate from
Ashton township, hurls annthema* at
thetconvention's proceedings because,
forsooth, he was gently pi ched over
the transom, and not allowed to en er
the sacred portals. His insensate
mouthings are too well known even
among those who know him best to lie
of any value save to possibly a few
kindred spirits, and to answer his
screed would be to put a low value on
newspaper space, if. as it is claimed
by some, be has left socialism and
came over to republicanism, it would
take a powerful microscope to detect it
irom his talk and rant as show n by last
week's Times.
