II the "Prairie Schooner reflects the |
opinions and faithfully expresses the feel.
ings Of the people Of Lyon and Lincoln
they feel very badly in those To-
calities over the proceedings Of the recent
Convention 1t Minnesota
Falls. We do not know just what kind Of
salve would be most eficacious in mollify-
ing the wounds. and will not undertake the
case, but We suggest, that clear apprehen-
sion and candid acceptance Of the truth is
often q relief to persons who are feeling
uncomfortable.
The ''Schooner" says: ''Mr. Wise, who
left short time before our delegation, in
formed the convention that the said dele
gates were on the road, and request was
made that the convention wait an hour for
them. which was refused.''
That, as simple statement, ia true but,
as statement Of the facts in regard to the
convention, and its attitude towards the
Lyon County Delegation, is, il Ne can cor
rectly informed, not true. At the time the
proposition to wait an hour was made they
had already waited two hours. The con
vention was called to meet at 2 O'Clock,
and at 4 o'clock it was just organizing,
when the req uest to wait was preferred.
The Lyon County delegation arrived At five
and the shameless lack Of courtesy"
complained Of by the Schooner" is some
thing that will not readily be seen by I'M
BIASED persons. The unexplained delay of
three hours will, under the circumstances,
be regarded, by right minded people, as
either culpab!e Indifference to the rights Of
others, or, the carrying out Of a deliberate
purpose, to take no part in the convention.
The latter idea doubtless suggests the ex'
PLANTATION.
The "Schooner" further says: "Lac qui
Parle in her hurry to get peacefully over
the difficulties that threatened, forgot that
two years ago, when her delegation was
belated, the convention wait for them till
evening, and then nominated Clark of their
! Co.. when an earlier ballot would have de-
| feated him."
| We have faith to believe that common
honesty will impel Senator Blake to deny
that statement. He was coguizant of the
facts, and knows how unjust it is to Lac
qui Parle. Altogether we must conclude
that the editor OF the "Scllooner' has teel
misled by some designing person, or, ii
endeavoring to take a hand in this bushes:
he has made the mistakes that his recent
advent to this District renders him so very
liable to make. We do not think the pee.
pie have any such views.
Mr. Homer having declined the no,nina'
ton as candidate for commissioner in the
