TIE -GovERNoHsNIP.

With each succeeding week that
brings nearer the Republican Con-
vention, it becomes more and more
apparent that VIM. T.. Smith is most
generally preferred as candidate for
Governor, judging from the tone Of
the press of the State. Luddington,
Sawyer and Cassody have all dis
claimed any desire to be nominated,
and of others named none have ever
been seriously thought of as icandi-
dates, save in a very limited circle.
The opponents of Smith, no doubt
would like, and will try to prevent
his success, in retaliation for the
strength of his name having CON-
PEELED their favorites to withdraw
from a contest in which certain de-
feat awaited them. Conspicuous in
this class are those who favored Lud-
dington, and 50 vcuOmous are they
that the opinion is fast becoming
prevalent that the desire to nominate
Luddington "a prompted by some,
thing more than a desire to see the
people well served. At the dictation
of this class, undoubtedly, Governor
Luddiugton publishes a letter deny
ing that an agreement was made
between VIM. +. Smith and himself
10 the effect that Smith was to sup
port H. in 1879, and the latter to
rcciprocate 10y supporting S. in 1877.
Now, no one eve having charged
such an dgrGeHletIt, the denial of il
was uucallel for,and could have been
promulgated with no other purpose
than to prejudice Smith Implying that
his nomination was demanded on the
streugth Of a pretended c3A5ruct.
Col. Ginty, of the Chippewa HcroH
who seems to know what he is talk
ing about, says:
White GOV. Luddiuglon denies charges that
were never made, he dane not dtuv that imme-
diNviy after the Convention adjourned. he said

The question is raised among the
opponents of the Presidents civil
service policy, whether Secretary
Sherman on Secretary Schurz can
make any speeches on political or
financial or the Indian question,
without Il violation Of the civil-service
order. This, of course, is c~aptious-
ness. The order simply prohibits
the management Of caucusses and
conventions 10y . ring of otiice-hold-
ers all working foracommon purpose.
As to talking and voting the Presi-
dents order says:
Their right to vote and 10 express their views
ON questions. either orally OF through the press,
Is not denied.
Tho President and Cabinet officers
have no other way of defining their
policy except through the public
press and public orations. The peo-
Pile want to know their opinions, and
the more they know the better all
around. England has a non-parti-
Zan civil-seryice. Bat that does not
prevent Gladstone, or Disraeli or
John Bright, when in office, from adj
dressing the people. OF course a
pure civii-service regulation will not
prevent President Hayes, or Sherman
or Schur2.

SENATORIAL CONVENTION. = The
Richland Co. Republican committee,
which, is understood to be composed Of
tools OF the ringstcrs who have con-
trolled the party III that county Of
late, doggedly insist upon having
the Senatorial convention consist of
only six delegates from each county.
To this plan the Iowa county COM
mittee, we are glad to learn, is quite
as earnestly opposed, and hence no
call for a convention is yet issued or
agreed upon. There is strong a
son for supposing that the persist
ence of the Richland managers in
favor of a plan that cannot be de-
Tended as fair or wise in any degree,
have some scheme which they hope
to carry out in a convention of II
delegates which might be frustrated
if the body numbered 90 or more.
These schemers had best beware.
The time has past when a few de-
signing men may manipulate the
party machinery purely in their own
interests. The aims of the Richland
county ring are understood, and
should they succeed SO far as to
nominate their man, whose unfitness
and unworthiness are notorious, dis
graceful defeat at the polls probably
will, as it properly should, be the re-
suit. Whether the nominee be a
resident of Iowa or Richland county
signifies little, but whether he is a
gentleman of recognized worth, in
tegrity and ability, or a tool of the
corrupt element, with no qualifica-
tons for the honored position of
State Senator save his willingness
and ability to serve his masters, will
be found of Importance most vital
when election day arrives. 1t is our
hope and belief that the good and
true men of the party will be snfti-
GENTLY strong in the convention to
to control it's action, but should the
reverse prove true, we shall not
shirk the duty of condemning it, be-
lieving that a defeat at the polls is a
lighter calamity to the party and the
State, than the dishonor that must
inevitably follow the trusting Of re-
sponsible duties to incompetent and
dishonest hands, "If this be treason
make the most Of it,"
p. S.-Just as we so to press the
call for a Senatorial Convention is
received. and will be found in this
paper. AS will be seen thereby the
convention is to consist of "A mem
bers-5 from each Assembly district,
and > from each county at large
and is to be held at Avoca, Sept. 2S.
This, though not exactly as we think
it should be, is better than we had
hoped for at the time Of writing the
above, and without ~retracting any
thing therein expressed, %frankness
leads Us to say that had the call
been received sooner the article
would have been differently worded,
as the danger it was intended to
guard against is not so likely to oN-
ist with a convention composed of ~
l~eleCates. as with one of only half

Sanding The Side Walks.

Editor the Press and Banner:
sec by a notice from the I%ndendant Of
the town that tax payers have until the
LIST of June in which to pay their taxes, at
which time execution will issue against
all d%eiaultcrs. This I think is all we'll
enough, rs I am in favor of every one be-
ing made to pay his taxes if he wont
do it Voluntarily. am also in favor of
the tax levy being such as will realize
sufficient funds to enable the town u
Gil to keep the streets n side walks IN
first rate condition, but l am equally In
favor of this money being spent in keep
ing up the streets and side walks, equal
ly in all parts of the town, without any
reference to locality. In other words l
am not in favor of the side walks, &C., in
one portion of the town being kept in
good condition and those in other portions
entirely neglected. Take, for instance,
Magazine street which is II Of the Ion
gest, straightcst and naturally II of the
Drettiest streets in town, and n OF the
most popular for evening promenades,
and vet the condition in which the side
walks are kent shows that in the diStri-
button of favors it has been overlooked
I don't think there has been as much as a
load Of sand put upon them since the
present council Went INTO OInce
which is now about two-third Of a year.
Depot street or at least that portion of it
which lies east of Magazine street has re-
ccived worse than no attention by the
present council. I say worse than no
attention as it would have been infinitely
better off if it had received none. About
a month ago the own marshal with a lot
of hands undertook to create a semblance
OF a side walk and to that end trcnched
out a little ditch and threw the. red clay
on the little toot-path which by. long
usage had become somewhat hard and
said they intended sanding it right away
which if they had done, would have
given US a walk, if not first class dcci-
dedly better than WI have had for some
time; but it was left without the sand
and now every time it rains it makes one
who has to pass OIL it, feel very little like
paying taxes to keep up the side walks
and a big Town Marshal. If any disin-
terestcd party will examine the side
walks in the Northwestern portion of
the town and don't say that they give
evidence of having received twice the at
tention that those in the South eastern
portion do, then I am willing to pay
double taxes. Yours,
MAGAZINE HILL.
