anu uOn Z De cheated into voting any bogus
y or split tickets. We regret to say there are
t, few men, professedly Republicans espe-
cially when a convention Is to be held at
r which they hope to receive nominations to
5 Office for themselves or friends, who are dis
gruntled because their abilities were not ap.
preciated at the recent County Convention.
These malconterts are bu5ily at work TO
menting discord throughout the county
They should be watched and their machina-
tions defeated. They will be found tobnob-
bing with Greeley men and Democratic
polite aus to defeat this or that Republican
nominee. Traitors to their party, they will
endeavor to accomplish, by professedly re-
naming inside our organization, the mischief
they would be powerless to effect were they
outside our walls. Beware OF such men,
One Of them we know proposes a split ticket
to defeat a fairly nominated and most worthy
candidate. The trick will not succeed.
Forwarned is foTearmed. IF any uuappre-
ciated one who proposes to bolt the Republi
can nominees or run a split ticket will 90
over bodily to the Liberal Greeley-Democratic
camp, he viii find few followers from and less
mourners in our ranks. 1t would be infinitely
more honorable to 20 where his office seeking
prcc.iv:ties lead him, and secure place on the
c0altloa ticket, than to shield his treason
by pretending fealty to the Republican party
Then he would speedily find his true level in
the estimation of the people Of the county.
The Republican party would be happily rid
of a - hummer who cared nothing for it,
principles, and attached himself to it's camp
simply from a hankering after the plumber
to be found therein. We have fallen upon
critical political times The Convention saw
the necessity cf putting Republicans in nom
nation who cared somewhat for its princi-
PICS and their perpetuity. Ii &C d wisely in
selecting its standard bearers, by practically
remembering the old injunction in like
rcrllous times, to put none but Americans
IN guard to night
/ Towv CAUcU-Es.-It Is time to think oc
calling tie caucus for the nomination of
/ representative to the General Assembly and
the election Of candidates for Justice of the
Peace. These primary meetings Of the
people are important Due notice Of
them should be carly given and widely
circulated. They should be -ully attended
by the better class of citizens, and no i'm
proper person or willy demagogue be allowed
t. be put in nomination for Office. If we
start right in the primaries, we shall come
out all right on election day, and the State
be blessed with the service of its most
worthy and capable citizen Look well 10

Henry Corners, Of this village, discovered

drawbar, with the other he gave the little
innocent a shove which landed him at fe
