WHO SHALL CHOOSE OUR CANDIDATES

A few days ago report was published IN
The daifies of this city, representing that a:
a mseiing ef the representative officers OF
the various organizations of the patrons OF
Husbandry" in the county, resolution
was parsed endorsing certain persons FAMED
in tine resolution for certain Offices therein
designated.
Now We do not question the privilege OF
any secret organization doing as they choose
If in so doing they do not violate any law or
infringe upon the rights of other parties.
In saying that they will support the per
cons named for the Offices mentioned, they
do not say they will not support any one
else. The mentioning of particular persons
smel,s some of preconcer,ed plan OF some
of the parties concerned, to take such
course TO obtain ".end oH." Had the reso-
luton been that ",hey would support none
but consistent, honest, competent men-men
free from all charge of political corruption,
il would have seemed more consistent with
the purpose and aim Of the Organization
passing 1t.
We are informed, however, that there
were thirteen persons present, and OF that
number si1 voted against the resolution. IL
tha, be true the house stands divided against
itself. A condition Of affairs which, accord.
ins TO the Bible teachings, is unfortunate
and foreboding.
II the different lodges of Masons, Odd
Fellows, or Knights of Pythias in this or
any other city, should hold a meeting and
pass resolutions unanimously or by almos, q
Tie vote, a. in the case mentioned, to vote
for certain persous for political offices, and
then publish their sciion in the newspapers,
while it might indicate how they, most CT
them, would vote, it would seem to those
not belonging 10 their fraternity, like an un-
warranted dic.a.ion OF franchise which We
hose been taught by our institutions snd free
government, was sn inaienable right.
We do not assert that the Patrons Of
Husbandry in this county will assume, as a
body, 10 say what either political parry
shall DO. They are, We believe, quite to
wise for that. OF course, they might 10
much to help or bun a candidate in the
field, if they worked uuilealy for or agains,
him. But they will hardly be sosbort-sighted
as to sssume to dictate certain nominations,
espec ally of men who do not fill the bill Of
qualifications which the necessity Of the
times has marked ont.
We do not believe in class legislation CT
any such interference. in nominations CT e!ec-
lions as would necessarily entail it.
Our present manrer of nomination-by
delegate convention-is cot always choice
Of The party. otherwise all nominations would
poll the entire party vote, which has NOT
alwsys been done-.nd any further remove
from that will be as unpopular as i. is un-
wise.
Some of the persons named in the rssolu-
tioa might be elected. Some Of them Ger.
tainly could not be.
Lei our Republican County Conven!ior
oonside, this matter and act wisely.

The Friend of the Laborer.

One fact that will work favorable for Cobb
in this campaign is this: During all the tine
he held the position, no man, no matter how
poor in this worlds goods, ever asked him
for information that he did not readily fur
nish where it was in reach Of human agency.
And every body knows that our Representa-
tives in Congress are recipients daily Of doz-
ems Of letters from settlers making inquiries
about lard. Cobb has proven himself the
friend Of the lsbO.er, farmer and mechanic.
