GRANGE CONVENTION THE most
striking thing In the Grange Conven-
ton was the number Of different
names announced az candidates. We
never attended q convention Ia our
life that had 30 many, and Judging
from this fact we are led to conclude
that . large portion Of the Grange ele-
ment Joined the Grange with the sole
aud express object of securing fat
once. There were about forty differ
emit Raplrsa,t@. and we think II consist
ent TO suplpose that tiseTe were also

County, laying ASIDE all past pOIlticai
differences, and recognizing the para
mount importance of existing issues,
hereby cordially unite in recommend
ing the people to meet in delegate
convention at Knoxville, on
SATURDAY, AUG. %. 1878,
at 10 o'clock a. M, for the purpose of
nominating ticket for county offices
to be supported at the ensuing October
election.
This call is based upon the declara-
ton of principles promulgated, with
such unanimity, in the two conyen-
tons held by the people Of this county
at Knoxville, on the 18th day of Feb
ruary and the l4th day of June last,
wherein il was also resolved to unite
with men of all parties, on common
platform, to resist the encroachments
OF corporate monopolies on the rights
of the people, and i'm favor of those
measures so imperatively demanded
by the industrial and producing inter-
ests Of the county. To those who
still adhere to the sentiments and pol
lev then announced this invitation Is
respectfully addressed. The proposed
convention should be open to all who
accord with the prevailing sentiment
of the people on these vital issues. To
this end, men Of every pursuit, and of
all existing organizations, whether
Republican, Democratic, or Grange,
are cordially invited to participate.
Let the farmer, the mechanic, the
merchant, the day. laborer, and all
others, unite in forming convention
M 70 ta
eras, anti-monopoly and patriotic In
its aims and purposes. The right to
freely participate in the politics of
the country is inherent in every
merican citizen, and this right
should In nowise be abridged, or con-
fined to any sect, organization, or par
| ty of men.
Secret political organizations have
ever been regarded with serious appre-
tensions by the wisest and purest
statesmen of our land, as mischievious
| in their tendencies and dangerous to
to the public welfare. Onthis subject,
so vital to the interests Of all, we feel
constrained tn appeal to the sober and
considerate judgment Of our country
men.
In order, therefore, that a fair and
equal representation of the entire
county may he secured. we recon-
mend that delegates be chosen on the
following basis: Two delegates for
each township, and In addition there
to one delegate for each fifty voters as
shown by the last assessors lists, and
one for every fraction over twenty
five. We further recommend that the
people meet at their usual places OF
holding elections, In the respective
townships. on FRIDAY, Ara. %. at
o'clock p. M, for the selection of del
egates. On the kasis above proposed

Tins as our army has, so far, the
tribe will soon become extinct. In
spite of all that the peace men
say, there really SCENE to be no
way out of the mess but for the
Government to thrash Its way
out. At any rate we are not in
favor Of allowing any moro of our
officers or soldiers to attend any
more tea-parties; but let as many
peace men try it on as are in
cllned to. If the Indians are to
be brought to terms through the
homeopathic treatment, let the
believers in that kind of treatment
do tho flag of truce" business.
All the Modoc conduct from first
to last, has not convinced us that
their word is to be taken for

do we believe in saving their mis-
