Republican County conven,,on.

Republican County Convention.
The Republican County Central COMMITTEES
met on Monday, and were unanimously of the
opinion that fall County ticket should be put
in the field, and the party kept rs thoroughly
organised as tossibIs. Tho call will be found in
this issue of our paper. From conversation with
members Of the Comnitte from different parts of
the County, We arc satisfied that the Republi-
cans generally wish to keep united and organic
ed. Nov and then q croaker is found, who de-
olares that the party is gone to smash, is disor-
gsnised, and that there is no use trying to do
anything. Such men are very few, and it is evil
dent that the disorganization does not exist in
KAnsss.
Because the President has disappointed many
Of his supporters, it does not follow that the
Republican party is ruined. II one man, and he
very ordinary man, can break up the Republ-
con party, it is rather flimsy. When Demo-
cratic Administration betrayed the country, pat
riotic people did not say the country was gone
to ths dogs, and there was no use in trying to
do anything; but they rallied in force, and res
cued the country from the hands of its betrayers
DO, IL the Republican party has been betrayed,
instead Of abandoning it, all true Republicans
should remain steadfast, and embrace the first
opportunity to place the party in trustworthy
hands. This is the feeling of the Republicans of
Doniphan County.
The Republican party has mighty work be-
fore IL. When Hayes has run his course, instead
of the country being conciliated and pacifed,
there will be struggle involving all the great
Issues that were supposed to have been settled by
Che war. II will be contest equal to that of
1850, and every Republican will be needed at bis
post. Through the policy Of the present Admin
istrstion, the South will be solidly and over
vhslminely against the Republican party.
Their emily dependence till be upon the North;
and 10 succeed, they cannot afford to lose any
considerable Northern State. The Democracy
already imagine themselves In power, and as
their spirits become slated, they divuIee their
plans for the future. When they get full con-
trol Of the Government, (Which they will do, If
the Republicans are not vigilant and united

This is . reason why the Republicans of Doni-
phan County, and every other County, should
keep thoroughly organised. Phose who are
seeking the defeat of the party, for personal
snds, will boot at this and claim that the rebel
lion 10 over, and that County election has moth
ng to do with such questions. But County cleo
lions do keep mp party organizations, and the
Republicans of Doniphan County do need to
Keep their organization perfect, so that when
he hour comes, they may not be found scattered
md helpless.
There are those who will attempt to disorgan-
se, and defeat the ticket, no matter how good
he men composing it. Such men are found
'verywhefe. Let Republicans attend the prims-
les, and elect delegates who will select good
icket, and then 60 to work and elect It By
ousing, old-fashioned majority.
