The post. [volume] (Middleburg, Snyder County, Pa.) 1864-1883, 1872-03-06

VIZ copy the following from the
the L,wisburg Chronicle Of last week,
and consider it just such q rebake as
the CJunty COMMITTEES OF Union dc.
servo for it, presumption aud disrc-
gard for the party it represents. A
dozen men, iu convention assembled,
at one fell swoop annul th, action Of
two thirds Of the voting population of
Union county! Ugh. What Phil.
lstiucs That looks like cenltaiisl-
uun. IL is hope that The party can
take care Of Itself, and that it's repro
sentative men will totally disregard
tn. action Of the Committee.

I'ng nc.ion Of tho County Commit
Gee in relation TO changing tho mode
Of n1miratjng cadiLrtcs meets with
universal condemnation by oil true Re.
publicsns in the county. The Craw-
fo.d coluty system has been thorough
ly tricl hy our party, and has proved
much better than the wrc working,
scbemins and corrupt delegate system.
Our county oiil!es have generally been
for the past few years, filled with faith
fu staunch Republicans, openly chosen
by the party. Jnlcr tho old dele.
gate systcn, Objectionable men were
occasionally thrust upon tho party,
and then Democrats or volunteers
stepped ia enl played the mischief.
unl it would be 50 ia the Future, if we
60 back on the old system. Bat, as
the Republican party by vote, adopt
ell the Crowrord coanty system, it can
enly be abolished by similar procoss
The action Of tho Committee will
doubtless be disresardcd, and thsy
should ut once reseind the resolution,
aad it they think proper, appoint a
day for test election. That would
settle the matter.
Mn. EDITOR: Permit an unsophis
ticatel individual 10 ask few ques
lions which he deems OF vital impor-
ttnce TO the interests Of the Rcpubli-
can party.
II used to be said that, "whom the
gods would destroy, they first made
mad" Is our County committee mad
If not, why did they, at their last
isceiing, assume such sovereign pow
crs Who made that Committee such
n great | AN. and lcd them to suppose
they had right to dictate to the
Republican party the manner by which
tho nominations should be made?
Upon reading the proceedings Of the
last meeting ofthe Committee we came
to the conclusion that we ought to get
up an address to them, something ai-
ter his style:
We, the voterS OF Uaion county,
most humbly pray your most noble,
grave aud revered seignors, that here
after you may be pleased 10 select for
MS such men to ill tho various Offices
In our gift, as you in your superior
jud cement may wish us to vote for
and We will obejiently carry out yoar
request; and should you be pleased 70
take this trouble from Us, W. will ever
pray &,.
Now, gontlem2n OF the Stanling
COMMITTEE, the VOTERS luot yuul cs-
t.blishel The Crawford coun,y svs-
TEN, and they only can change IT,.
You act as though you had the party
10 your breeches pockets; but if you
persist in your course, you will find
,hrcc-fourth OF the party will disre-
gard yo,, and continue iu the good
old way Of voting for the men they
want for candidates. Yoa have COM
mi:ted an ogregiJus blunder, aud you
have only one way out Of it-that is
TO "crawfsh,' or submit this question
to the people. Unless you do, sn in
ierestiug fight will bs tho result. A
