Republican Convention-The Sit
ustion and Candidates.
In brief reference to the approach
ing Republican Convention, In which
candidates for several very important
county Offices will be selected by Q
party 90 strong that its nomination
has for several years been to all intents
and purposes the same as election to
the ONCE sought, we would reiterate q
position taken long ago, that . paper
claiming to belong to aud to represent
the Whole party Ia the county Is new
or justified In q partisan course previ-
Gus to nominations, or In any special
efforts In behalf OF one candidate or
against another who may be coming
before the convention of the party to
there be accepted or rejected by the
properly constituted delegates from
the people. It Is true that adherence
to this position has cost us much en-
nifty. There are always men who
think their claims and their plans
should receive especial attention from
party paper, aud falling in succeed
ing with the ADVERTISER they finally
induced the starting Of an opposition
paper which they could and do con-
troll wholly in the interests of eombi-
nations, rings and ciiaues. Blu. all
this makes no difference to us. If our
position was right before ii is right
still; and We shall continue. 50 far
as our paper lie co ncernei, to treat ali I
candidates with due Difference and i'm +
pArtiality-only speaking Of them with i
eeafd 10 1scts Of which we suppose
the pscp1e In making their proper
choice among them desire to be and
should be informed.
One other matter In this connection
has been called TO orr attention. We
learn that 1t Is quite generally under
stood N certain quarters that after
the Republican Convention one Of the
two newspapers published at the coun-
ty seat would ally itself with the Re.
FORM" or one-third party. Being
well aware Of the fact that the course
Of the ADVERTISER in this direction
has been open and pronounced-;hat
We have made no a.temp, TO sit on
two stools or carry water on both
shouldeFs-we presume it was entirely
unnecessary to refer to the matter at
all. But we will, nevertheless, take
occasion to say In terms that any one,
friend or foe. who calculates upon any
such course on the part of the ADvER-
TIsER, reckons without his host. We
shall most assuredly support the NOM
nations Of the Republican party in
both State and county without any
reservation except that which any
honest thinking man always preserves
to bimself and which cur party plat
form now neutrality-suspicious. to
bad and incompetent men" no mat
ter where they appear. But both the
high character Of the men who are
candidates In this county and the !
known temper Of the people to whom
they must submit their claims gives
us quite sufficient assurance that no
such persons will obtain place upon
our ticket.
And now In conclusion We briefly !
review those who are spoken of In /
connection with the Offices to be filed
Concerning the candidacy OF some Of
them we have no definite knowledge.
