The changes Of the moon are not
more frequent, though they may be
more regular, than the changes in the
political tactics of the times. Not the
Star and Times only, but of the times
generally. There seems to be general
CONFUSION in political circles, which
juwbles things up strangely. Old CON-
batants throw down their weapons AID
humbly ask permission to get in bed
with their enemies. New hobbies are
daily created for noisy politicians who
unceremoniously mount them and ride
recklsssly through towns, villages anil cities
seeking whom they may capture or de-
YOUR. Principles are nowhere, but men
are everywhere. 1t is quite difficult to
make an issue, even in local affairs, that
will stand the test of single caucus or
convention. to say nothing about the fall
campaign.

The ak River Falls delegates "seceded"
from the convention then
organized and elected Hon. G. B. Cox,
John Dale aud Jas. Walsingham dele
gates to the Congressional convention.
Our information upon the subject is
too limited to Judge of the merits Of the
controversy, but one thing is obvious.
that Republican conventions have ceased
TO be recognized as exercising any au,hori-
ty which members of that party are
bound to obey.-Hudson Democrat.
1t is perfectly natural that the de-
mocracy should construe the pro
ceedings of those few disappointed dele
gates at Ellsworth last week, as evidence
of Decentralization in the Republican
ranks in this county. But we are OF
opinion that the ''unterrified," and all po
litical "dead BEATS" will ultimately dis.
cover that the Republican party of Pierce
county remains true to its colors, and
that IFS conventions, when conducted with
all fairness and honor, still exercise au-
thority which will be verified by the
hearty and unanimous support Of all
who hold to the Republican faith.
