A Strange Mistake,

The Shenandoah Herald, objecting to the
plan of organization of the Conservative larty
of the State, says: Representatives in the
nominating Convention are not to be chosen by
the people, but in each township upon the sa NE
day by the county superintendent thereof"
1t will be observed that it says that the cleo
ton of representatives in nominating conven-
tons are not to be elected by the people, hut
by the county superintendent. This is a
strange mistake. The elections are by the poo
pie, and the county superintendent only fix the
day on which the elections shall take place
The following is the language of the plan of or
ganization upon the point objected to by the
Herald:
Representatives in nominating convention
shall be chosen In each township of county
and each ward of city on the same day in each
township and ward, the day to be fixed for each
ward and township by the city or county super
intendent thereof"

When man complains of the Liberal party
that it is very much mixed he calls attention to
its chief merit; for until the people of this I'm

can be no hope of our deliverance Fl ON the OPP

The above table gives Greeley 1914 votes, and
Grant sixty-seven, leaving doubtful los. Ad-
ding these doubtful votes to Grants, his total
vote would be but 172, against Greeleys 1914.
These figures land we believe they are wise
and do not err would elect Greeley if the cleo
ton were held within the present month.
The question then arises, Which of the two
candidates has the more to gain by time? To
this there is but one answer, and that is, Grant
loses daily-Greeley gains daily. Of this there
can be no reasonable doubt. A few months

three for acquittal. The afternoon papers of

He was nominated for Congress at the conven-

the wishes of his party and support the nomi-

ed the opinion that the Administration of pub

known in the history of civilized people, and he
could not wonder at the demand from that sec,

They believe, he said, the election cf Creole,
