The Republican Central Com mittee met Monday evening and de cided not to appoint any meetings throughout the county for public speaking, but to supply demand for speakers when called for by the com mitteemen or others of a precinct. If you want particular speakers to address your community on partic ular subjects, let your wants be known to the Chairman of the Com mittee, S. C. Smith, Columbus. One day last week a party of young men engaged at a friendly game of cards, were arrested, taken before Justice Millet, tried and fined $2 apiece; after the money was paid in, the Justice invited the interested spectators into an oyster saloon, where the whole of it was spent for oysters for the crowd. The matter is considered a good joke ob all hands, but it might be well enough for real policemen and magistrates not to engage in such mattert.which have a tendency to lessen the dignity and authority of their office.

Commissioner, Joseph Rivet, is a resident of Lookfng Glass precinct ; is in the prime of life ; is an earnest, thoughtful man of good judgment; he has the entire confidence of the community in which he lives, as a fair-minded roan, who not only in tends to do right, but who takes pains to inform himself as to the facts upon which he builds his opin ions. Kindly in his disposition, he is yet not susceptible to wrong in fluences, but can say "yes" or "no," with firmness and without giving offence. Duty, with him, would be paramount. We feel sure that he would hoaor the office for which his friends have earned him, and believe that he will be elected. Temperance. Proceedings of the Temperance Meeting held at the Congregational church last Friday evening. Will Lawrence, Worthy Patriarch of the Sons of Temperance in this city, took the chair. Song by ihe choir.

Wo hereby and herein promise to each other that we will not patron ize saloons by purchasing at them anything on sale therein, and that we will not visit them for drinking or social purposes. After the above resolution had passed, Rev. Sherman offered the following preamble and resolution, which also was adopted, after con siderable discussing: Whereas, Tho impression is abroad in the community, owibg to a certain "dodger" printed and cir culated Friday, Oct. 8th, that the friends of temporanco propose to use unlawful measures in their ef forts to suppress the liquor traffic, Resolved, That we do not intend or purpose to use any uulawful means against intemperance, relying only on that which is moral and le gal in are efforts in that work. The old committee on organiza tion was continued, aud the meeting adjourned till next Friday evening, place not stated. The intention is to circulate the above pledge throughout the com munity. H' II. JT. IIudNon. The republican candidate for rpp reseutative from Platte county,IIu ry J. Hudson, is well known to the great body of the people of Platte county, he having served them in various public capacities, always with credit to himself, and" always acceptably to the public whom he served. Ho represented his dis trict in the legislature of 1871 '2, and was one of the Board of Managers in the impeachment of Gov. Butler. He was regarded as an able, vigi lant representative of the people's interests, and that by men of both political parties. In choosing for offices of this kind it is essential that the peculiar fit ness of candidates phould be con sidered their ability to influence the minds of a deliberative body, their own knowledge of the laws as they stand, and of tho needs of the people in their alteration.or repeal. Mr. Hudson would step right into the work as an experienced man fully equipped to do his duty in every particular. Letter L.!m(.
