Attention is invited to the call for q
Republican County Convention, to be
held ut Baldwin, on Thursday, April
10Th. The object which the commit
tee has i'm issuing the call now is to es-
tablish the basis of representation by
delegates, so that said delegates may
DE chosen at the regular township eau
cuses. 1t is hoped that full represent
tatiOn may be had Mt the Convention.
We learn that during an alteration
between boy named Willis Lucas and
son Of G. II. Carr, at the school house,
last Monday afternoon, young Lucas
struck or pushed Carr over against a
scat, breaking his collar bone. If the
act was done in playfulncss, there is,
perhaps, some excuse for it, but If it
was done in anger, the young man
should he taught lesson which would
cause him to put more of u check on
his temper hereafter.
In looking over the record of the
vote I'm Pleasant Plains township, last
Spring, we observe that the vote on
the State ticket stood 120 Democratic
to 55 Republican. In the previous Fall
the vote nearly tie-thc Republican
majority being only about scucn. We
mention these matters for this reason:
The Democrats have never yet pos
sesscd an organization I'm the township,
but the Republicans have. The mys-
terry Is right here. How is IL that the
minority at the caucus are in the ma
jority at the polls? There is evidently
some "playing possum" going on, and
it certainly looks as If some were
among the best Republicans Of them
all I'm the caucus, but Democrats when
they get right down to business, nand
they come to cast those little slips of
paper called ballots, into the box on
election day. II matters very little to
most men, the name of the political
party they belong to, If they are only
honest and straightforward in their nc
lions; but If they profess one thing and
do another, then IL makes an entirely
different matter OF IL.
