Our Wapello County Liberals are
at least portion Of them-an nn-
fortunate crowd. While most of
their comrades elsewhere who went
out Of the Republican party in 1877
after Greeley and Reform have re-
turned to the fold and are fully salts
fed with the administration Of Hayes
which has their file leader Schurz in
the Cabinet, still there are few of
them in this county who linger in the
camp of their ancient foe.
The way they slaughtered Wash
burn last Saturday, and the character
of the Democratic county ticket,
which is thoroughly rock-rooted
Bourbon from head to tail, ought to
satisfy what few Liberals there may
be still lingering in the Democratic
party hereabouts, that they are not
wanted any longer there. In fact the
Democrats should hang out the sign.

all Liberals who do not relish the
luxury of being kicked should take

alton awaits you.

try delegates -"Center township !
Center township" and as he became
exhausted the stcntorian voice of the
Secretary took up the refrain, and
the old Court House rung with the
words: "Center township! Center
township?' 1t was clear case of
freeze out on the part of the Al, clear
ing the deck of the legislative nomi-
nations, and with them such of the
country delegates as could not stay
for the final struggle on the impor-
tant offices Of Sheriff and Treasurer.
For dead certainty the slippery ones
of the al did their work well towards
making up the 10 votes they lacked of
a majority in the convention, by
Sways that are dark and tricks that
are vain"
One might have supposed that
when they lacked only 10 votes out of
the 100 of having majority and die
tating to the convention its nomina-
tons, that they would have exhibited
little modesty. Then that batch CT
resolutions--most of them lcisurely
incubated by some of the AZ, days
before the meeting of the convention
what batch, for the most part, of
insincere, demagogical, catch-penny
sentiments, presuming upon the ig-
norance of the rank and file of the
party and concocted mainly upon the
ground of the policy which fishes for
votes regardless Of principle. We
notice the original draft contained a
demand for the repeal Of the law
which permits aid to railroads, but
the committee struck this out and did
not report it, for tho simple reason,
as we have said, they were alone fish
ing for votes, and found that this tool
might be dangerous to handle.
But we shall have more to say of
the resolutions at another time and
only incidentally refer to them here.
i There was an incident attending the
reading of tho resolutions by our
friend Cory, of the committee, which
is worthy of mention. He evidently
had grand conception of the i'm
portance of his mission, and in his
extraordinary preparation to quicker,
he spoiled the whistle.
| In nominating the Treasurer the
noise over in the Center delegation
corner indicated possible row.
1t was attempted to make the
the nomination of w. I. Poag for
this Office unanimous, but it was
hailed with quite storm of nays.
i The nomination of DR.. Stewart for
Sheriff was the elimination of con.
fusion, and the Chairman declared
that if the Center delegation did moi
stop their noise he would call upon
the country delegations to make them
keep order. The ways and means
! which nominated Stewart were very
unsatisfactory and John F. Lewis de.
clared to us the next day that he
should run as an independent candi.
date.
Evidently the democracy have had
some hopes of winning in this cleo
: ton and hence in their furious ecram
) BILE for the nominations they have &C
damaged their cause as to kick tn,
fat all in the fire.

themselves amenable to no law.

the TT. Wayne men and their ON

that direction are ended. The rail-

formed the strikers that there will be
no compromise whatever. 1t is also
