EDITORS OF PALLApIUN: In view Of the fact
that at the approaching election some OF the
most important Of our county officers are to
be elected and also Judge and Prosecuting
Attorney for the 18th Judicial Circuit. It's,
perhaps important that some action should be
Immediately taken by the Republican party.
relative to the nomination Of ticket. In the
present condition OF the political affairs Of the
country, the importance Of preserving the or
ganization of the Republican Party must be
apparent; and In order that this may be more
eti-ctually done. some steps should be taken
by which unauimity Of action at the coming
election may be secured. This doubtless
only be done by making a nomination; but
in making this nomination care should be Ia
ken to pursue such plan as will procure a
general expression of the wishes Of the Re-
publican party TO who shall be the candi
dates, thereby insuring harmony in
ranks.
How and when should this nomination be
made? In answer 70 this question, ! would
suggest that the candidates be selected by
popular vote of the Republican party; and for
the purpose of securing the largest vote posi-
bic, whereby the will of tie party in general
may be a,certaned, that polls be opened at
the places of holding elections in the various
townships. or if deemed necessary for the
convenience of those entitled to vote, at two
more places in each township. BY pursu-
ing some such plan as this. the opinions of the
entire party NAV be consulted In making the
nomination, 10 which no objection could be
urged. II would also remove to a considera-
BILE extent the possibility of ranks being
broken, or distracted by 6oitiny candidates.

would propose that the party in the other
counties composing the Circuit be requested
% vote IN manner similar to the above. An
arrangement might easily be effected with
them BY which the vote could be taken in
each on the same day. By returning the re-
suits Of the various baliotings TO the county
seats Of the counties respectively. the result
OF tie whole could be easily ascertained.
This nomination might be made on the last
Saturday of this month. or the first Saturday
in July To avoid the confusion and difficult
ties which were experienced during the last
political campaign. By reason of nominations
outside Of the Republican party. il would Ger.
tainly be best that the ticket should be formed
a, as early day as possible. l throw out
these suggestions, hoping that you and otn-
