The Centerville Citizen promui-
gates some excellent doctrine In ref
erence to the duty Of citizens to at
tend the political primary
conventions. 1t has no patience with
men who sit around growing about
hard times and official dishonesty.
1t argues that the government be-
longs to the citizens, and that each
is in some measure responsible for It's
proper administration. Speaking to
citizens as individuals, 1t says:
The ballot is the instrument Of
power by which your will as sover-
eign takes shape; but IN these times,
under tho Vaccinations OF politicai
and partisan leaders, the power OF
the ballot has been displaced by the
caucus system. Hence your atten-
ton to the W0Flk~r0f tho sza,sctss bess
comes Of the first magnitude. II
you remain away and permit Others
often designing mem 10 say in adj
vance for whom you shall vote, you
only give evidence OF your unfitness
for the task of citizenship. Don't
stay away from the township cOnvpn.
ton II You expect to have any voice
whatever i'm the management Of pub
lie affairs; as that is the place where
the delegates are made who make up
your ticket for the next election;
and while there 1t devolves upon you
to oppose all movements by which
the public will il liable to be thwart-
ed. Let free expression be insisted
upon, and let all he counted ~ public
enemies who attempt in any way TO
stifle or pervert the voice OF the con-
vention.
The custom Of selecting commit.
tee To retire and bring In list Of
delegates for the action Of the cancus
ought not to be permitted; as this Is
the usual method by which ninbi-
tious persons promote their SCHEMES
in opposition to the wishes OF the
majority. Delegates should be cho.-
en- by ballot.

We do not think that the true In
tention as above expressed, Is under
stood by all who have lent these men
their names. In fact we know that
some who have been induced because
ora conscientious opposition to any
thing secret in politics, to take this
step, have no idea Of assisting the
Radicals, and will turn their backs
upon it when the design Is fully
known.
independent political action is the
right of every citizen. But taking a
step under false pretences for an OBJ
iect different from that declared, and
Tor the purpose of breeding discon.
tent in the minds Of the people only
that result may be reached not in
tended by the deceived followers in
a movement of this kind, is unfair
and should be denounced. Believing
that such is the object of the move
ment now being made under the
lead Of Gov. Stone, the Chairman OF
the Radical Central Committee, the
Potter who has become the organ of
this movement, and the few Demo
Gratis who are not content to await
the sction of the Democratic ConVen-
tion, we advise Democrats In the
county against taking any part in
the matter whatever. 1t is as we be-
lieve cheat and intended to be a
fraud upon the Democracy. Hatred
of the Grange, prompt the action TAX
en by some, but the great and con-
trolling object of the men who direct
it is to save the Radical party from
defeat!
Democrats, be not deceived by this
very thin device of the enemy. Our
Convention will be held on the 9th
Of September, and the action then
taken will no doubt be wise and
proper. Stand by the colors until
the order is given to disband, II ,ce
must disbapd, but do not desert into
the camp OF the enemy at the call of
bolters, Radical tricksters, or a few
good Democrats who we believe have
| themselves been deceived.

The Nam eIeSs Party.

The Marion County Democrat, con-
tains the proceedings Of n nameless
convention held in Knoxville last
week for the purpose OF nominating
n county ticket. We gather from
the proceedings that the conventions
was composed strictly OF Changers,
as no other parties are alluded to.
The convention after adopting the
resolutions passed by the Peoples
convention held in Knoxville last
June, proceeded to the nomination Of
candidates. From the number OF
different names it appears that near
ly every delegate was q candidate.
There were seven candidates for Rep
resen tatiyes, q. T. Clark, Democrat,
and S. breckenridge, Liberal, being
the successful men. There were nine
candidates for Treasurer, Il. NJ. Fer
ris. Democrat, was nominated. For
Auditor there were eight candidates,
C. III. Robinson, Liberal, being nom
mated. Five gentlemen contested
for sheriff, and l.. w. Crozier, Demo-
crat. was successful. There We're
five candidates for County Superin-
tendent, and Prof. Zentz, a Republic
can, was nominated. Three candi-
dates for Coroner and six for Super
visor resulted in the selection Of two
so.called Republican. The Democros
calls II a Grange Convention and
speaks highly of the ticket, but will
await the action OF the Democratic
County Convention. It was the fun.

The Grange and Politics.

Mr.. EDITOR This subject IL now agi-
tating Marion county, more perhaps
than any other question. There are a
few honest Patrons who think they Will
violate their obligation. If they act politi-
cally with this new party which has taken
the field In this county. TO such l wish
10 say "A few words. Did you, when you
Joined the Grange, agree that you would
hereafter have nothing more to do with
poiticsr
Did you solemnly promise that you
would never vote again?
Did you resign any OF the political
rights guaranteed to you rs citizens of
the State OF Iowa and tho United States ?
ON the contrary, has IL not always been
insisted on by Grange speakers and
writer's, that 1t was your duty az "a good
Patron to see to IL that none but good
men were elected to Office?
Now, IA You resigned none Of your
rights when you Joined the Grange, ami
"a any number Of mon have In this coun-
trv an undonbted right. which no one
will attempt to deny, to nominate ticket,
will some one please b tell me wherein

stitution, or any pledge which we AZ
Patrons have ever made.

mittee Of State Grange in their circular

A Radical Dodge.

The nominations made ut the
Grange Convention, and particularly
the great harmony which prevailed
in the making Of the nominations,
caused the greatest terror to prevaii
in the camp of the Radicals, and the
leaders were seen moving In every
direction, like rats seeking escape
from a sinking ship. On Saturday
they were disconsolate. The best
men OF their party had left 1t, and
Joining with other good men from
the Democratic party had taken in
dependent action which promised
certain and complete overthrow to
the Radical party--the party OF plum
der and the tried and true friend Of
monopolies and Rail Road abuses up
on the rights Of the people.
