THE REPUBLICAN CONvEN.
TION AND CANDIDATES.
In another column are publish
ed the proceedings of the Cedar coun-
ty Republican Convention which con-
vened in Upton last Saturday. Lit
tie necessity il left for multiplying
words with regard to the character or
purposes of that gathering. Ii was
the largest delegate convention ever
held by the Republicans fthis c"un-
ty on their present basis of representa-
ton. Every township was fully rep
resented by delegates elected at a
regular primary meeting, and there
was therefore no authorizing 10 act"
by the convention. The eaucusses
were all well attended-many of them
very largely so. The convention thus
firmly entrenched in the franchises
Of the masses of the party, was COM
posed of honest, representative men,
who in the main manifested only de-
sire to do the best thing for the whole
party. regardless Of personal preferen-
css, piques and aims. Its deliberations
were marked by the utmost fairness
and by as much harmony as can ever
be expected when different opinions
and interests come into close contact
and if its conclusions are not general
ly accepted in good faith by Cedar
county Republicans, there is certainly
no way in which such sine qua non
can ever be reached.
The nominee for Representative,
Mr.. ELwooD MACY, is quite well
known in all parts of the county, and
especially 80 on the west side of the
river where he has lived for many
years He is a gentleman of eduea-
ton, native ability and acknowledged
force of character His intelligence,
his thoughtful habits of mind, knowl-
edge of human nature and familiarity
with current politics and legislation,
when joined with strength and probi
~ of character, make him we'll fitted
for the position To which he has been
nominated.
In the ballotting for this nominal
ton, il will be observed that our pres
ent member, Mr.. r. q. Scott, received
as high a thirtyone votes; hut the
fact that Cedar county how has but
one representative, instead Of two a.
always before, narrowed the oppor-
tunities precisely oae-half. Mr. Scott
most assuredly retains the conf
dence and esteem of all his constitu-
ents. Mr.. II. G.. Coe also, received d
very fiattering vote for this Office
more especially "a as he had made no
effort whatever for the nomination,
barely permitting the Use Of hi- name
al a late day.
For Auditor, the nomination ten

tive store during its first year, and was
strongly solicited by those interested
To continue in the position. He is an
unimpeachable candidate, sought out
and nominated by the people, and by
them he will be elected
Mr. Young was closely followed
through the ballotting by Mr. James,
who was honored by an equally ardent
support from his own locality and a
considerable following elsewhere
Messrs. r. J. Davidson and A. Spear
also each developed fiattering strength
where best known.
Captain L. III. Pound, who was
nominated for Treasurer on the first
formal ballot almost without opposi-
ton, is another case where the selec-
ton was made wholly an account of
known fitness for the position. Mr..
Pound has not been in the county for
nearly two months, and on his return
in few days will probably learn for
the first time of the liberty taken with
his name. He occupied the County
Treasurer's office from ls67 to ISL
and stepped down and out without
being candidate for denomination
but with a clean and creditable record
behind him. His present unsought
selection for the position is simply the
result of general knowledge Of his ex-
.ellent qualifications, his accommo-
dating disposition and his deserved
popularity.
After serving several years a. Dep

him first-class officer. His re-elec-
ion by an increased majority is a
oregone conclusion.
