RrnRnrllle City Election.


called for a Republican Convention to
meet at the Office of Messrs. Upton,
Heweu & Church, on the evening Of
March 26lh, for the purpose of nOmi-
mating candidates for The various corPo-
ration offices Of this city.
The County Central Committee at
their last meeting, also recommended
the nomination and election Of RePubli-
can candidates for every Office in the
gift of the people.
We hope every Republican within the
corporation will attend the Convention,
and not only attend, but express his
views with regard to the policy to be
pursued, and if the Convention decides
to make nominations, let each mar state
his preferences for the men to be selec-
ted. The Convention should present a
good ticket. Do not sit quietly and see
bad nomination made. either through
modesty, or the fear of hurting some
body's feelings. No man should be chO-
sen merely because somebody presents
his name. Each nomination should be
we'll considered. The selection of good
officers is very important. Experience
for ten or twelve years past, has shown
our citizens that it is sometimes difficult
to procure suitable persons to fill several
of the ofices-especially marshall and
mayor. No city office is now so trivial,
as to render it immateTial who fills it.
1t is difficult to say which Office will not
during. the year become the most impOr-
tan
The interests of Brownville are be-
coming of more and more importance
every year. The future of our city may
be vastly affected by the policy of our
City Council, hence the importance of
selecting men of energy, experience
and ability-cautious and economical, yet
free from timid old fogyism. Even the
prosperity and business IF BrOwnvilIe
the coming summer may be much inau.
enced by the action of the Council
far more than most people imagine.
Il is more important this season than
usual that Republicans, where they are
in the majority, should carry their mu-
nicipal elections. This is the year of a
very important Presidential election, and
Republicans should keep up their party
organization a custom of the Democracy
worthy of imitation-they always main
tain a thorough organization. They may
advocate a mixed or peoples ticket"
where they are in the minoritv, but, who
ever heard of such a thing where they
were in the majority? Where they had
the power, they never voted for a poIiti-
cal opponent, even for supervisor or con-
stable. The Republicans, as a party,
never cared so much for party success.
Ii is owing principally to this apathy
that the Democrats are embed to claim
elections IN a few Republican own in
New York, this Spring. These cleo.
tions are heralded through the Copper
head press, with flaming capitals as
= Reaction Against the Radicals )" "The
with the President" Congress
Condemned" sc. Should Republicans
conclude to ignore party nominations at
our municipal election. this spring, as
they are lovingly invited to do by certain
disinterested Democrats, the first mail
from the North, after the election, would
bring US news, in the Omaha and Neb.
City papers, that there had been a "Dem-
victory at Brownvllle, radical.
ism giving way in The Burnt District"
Nebraska opposed TO impeachment"
etc., etc.
Republicans, make the best ticket you
can, and then elect it.
