RI. sCoTr CONVENTION.

Present indications are that the con-
vention at Fl. Scott next Wednesday for
the nomination of Republican candi-
date for the second Congressional district
will be well attended by the friends of
the different aspirants. 1t Is all right
for persons to use all honorable means
for the success Of their favorites, but
abusing and misrepresenting their oppo-
nents is all wrong. The race for Con-
gress in this district should be for prin-
pie and not for men; the opposition can
didate should be forced into the Demo
cratic party and his success be made to
depend upon an endorsement by the
people of the principles of that party.
And ON party issue between the Dem
ocrats and Republicans the nominee of
the Fl Scott convention can easily de-
feat Congressman Goodin or any other
Democrat in the District. Of the four
men mentioned for the Republican NOM
Haskell, Simons, Perkins
we believe Mr.. Haskell to be the
strongest man. He has the ability and
energy to make vigorous and agrees
i've campaign, and if nominated he will
compel his opponent to take a stand on
the political questions of the day, will
make an expose of the true spirit of the
Democratic party and an able defense of
principles, arouse enthusiasm
in his party and be elected on an old-time
majority.
While we advocate the claims of Mr..
Haskell we know of nothing that can be
said against either Of the other gentle
men mentioned, either personally or po-
and if one of them-or some
good man as compromise" candidate
receives the nomination fairly at Fl.
Scott next week we shall give him a
hearty and cheerful support. That
large majority of the voters of this Con-
gressional district are Republican no
one has a doubt, and it will be an
easy matter to elect man representing
the political sentiments Of this MAORI
it, L the Republicans will agree to sub
nit &c ::,e expressed wish of the party
through their delegates at Fl. Scott.
When the nomination is made let US not
say or ssel, because our favOrite was not
chosen, that the Republican candidate
will be defeated.

In discussing the claims of candidates
for the District and State Offices to be
filed this fall a great deal of importance
seems to be attached to the 'location" of
the aspirants. This Is all wrong. It
seems to us that it is foolishness to admit
that a man is eminently fitted for an
Office, having integrity, ability and all
other necessary qualifications, and then
object to him because he lives in . GER
tain part of District Or the State. Men
living in the border counties have the
same interest in the administration of the
affairs of the State and are entitled to the
same privileges as those who live in the
interior. Candidates, on account of their
great popularity in the community or
county in which they reside may be
more available than others, and it is all
right for conventions to take this matter
into consideration in making nomina-
lions especially if the contest is doubt
full one but to object to a man solely on
account of his location is little business.
Let us select the best men for the Office
no matter in what portion of the State
they may live.

UNDER the heading, "Go Slow" the
Commonwealth gives some good advice to
the Republican newspapers in Kansas in
reference to their cutting and slashing At
candidates who are not their choice. It
says, "it is foolish for Republican papers
in Kansas to attack men before the State
convention whom they may be called
upon to support afterwards. It is poor
business to throw mud on q man in June
when you may be called upon to wipe it
in September. It is . troublesome
job to defend . man against your own
