Elsewhere are given the proceedings
of the temperance meeting that nomi-
mated a city ticket Wednesday night.
The proceedings of the mass conven-
ton called for last night we are unable
to give, as the paper was put to press
before the time of meeting. The result
of the meeting Wednesday night was
different from that claimed and ex-
pected, and if last nights convention
can put as gsod men in nomination the
result will be doubtful. With two eX-
ceptions the ticket nominated Wedn-
esday night is fair one.

The Lawrence Journal gives the
Republicans timely warning not to
commit the blunder this year that was
made by the State convention last year
in the nomination of State Electors.
Four years ago the State Committee
had to correct the mistakes of the con-
vention by withdrawing one man from
the ticket. The nomination of electors
is amatter worthy the careful consider
alton of our State convention.

Editor Register In few days the
citizens of lola will elect city officers
for the nextyear. AS usual, the "whis-
ky question" will be the all absorbing
one. AS usual, we will hear men say
that we must have saloon or the bus
mess of the city will 60 to destruction.
In answer to all such talk permit me
to give brief history of one of the
most prosperous counties in the State /:
Mcpherson county was organized in
1870 with population of 1873. In 1877
she had population of 941S. She now
has 10000. Her principal towns are {:
1st, Mcpherson City, which, on the 1st
day of January, 1879, was an interior
village of 800 inhabitants, now has two
railroads and a population of 1000. She
has II grocery houses, IL dry goods
and clothing houses, hardware and
agricultural Implement houses, and 3
banks. All other branches of business
are represented in the same proportion.
Canton stands upon ground from which
a crop of wheat was harvested in 1879,
and has a population of 500. Has one
newspaper and-what lola wishes for
and is yet unable to get-a public hall.
There are five other towns of more or
less importance in the county.
Some of our "business men" will
suppose that it certainly takes about
40 saloons to keep up such boom, but
the Mcpherson Republican answers
with just pride that "there is not a
saloon in the county.

POLITICliL NOTES.

A CORRESPONDENT writing from Maine pre-
diets that the republicans will elect their state
ticket by small majority, carry both houses
of the Legislature, aud secure four of the FIVE
congressman. He admits that the chances are
against an old-fashioned republican victory
but thinks 1t will be sufficient to encourage
the Garfield men.
The Richmond Dispatch says: "There are in
Richmond no negroes who are recognized and
wel-known conservatives, Therefore, no me-
gro IS allowed to vote at our primary elections.
We believe that what Is true of Richmond is
true of every county aud city in the state"
Aud yet we arc all the time learning of crowds
OF negroes who arc tired Of voting the radical
ticket" etc

THE PAErY AND ERAs or FRAUD.

GabA AM A1iNAN bt thAADs
A writer in the Philadelphia Erening
Nc,os iudulges in some political reminis-
cences, towhich he especially calls the atten-
tion of Senator WALLACE To begin with,
he calls the attention of the senator to the
recent developments brought to light
afresh regarding the outrageous naturaliz-
alton frauds in New York, in which the
periuries and forgeries of the democrats
originated more than 10000 fraudulent
naturalization certificates, which have been
used to keep up democratic majorities in
New York city. He reminds the senator
that in 1859 he engineered the same plan
in Huntington county, Pennsylvania. But
we will permit this writer to tell his own
tale of that infamous outrage in his own
way:
Colonel ROBINSON, one-lcgged soldier, was
the republican candidate for SENATOR and DIR.
SHuGART the democratic candidate. SHUGART
was declared elected by n small mUiority
RoBINsoN contested the election. and il was
in this case that the proof showed that more
than 200 aliens, railroad hands, were colouizcd
at Phillipsburp. In the district for about two
| weeks prior TO the election, all of whom pre-
l
| for SHUGART, thus defeating robinson. A
poor Irishman, JOHN CLEARY by name, told
! the story TO the committee about how the GER
| tificates of naturalization were colored with
| coffee TO give them the appearance OF age. Ho
also testified that he voted at the said election
for SHUGART, aud that he had not resided q
year in the United States. He 1t was that
opened up the whole outrageous transaction.
After his discharge by the senate committee he
| returned to his homo at Osceola Mills, Clear
| field county. He was killed within twenty
minutes after he got off tue cars, and up to
the present day his murderer has. never been
arrested. Also, catholic priest, a resident OF
| Clearfeld. the home of Senator WALLACE,
| swore before the said committee that the money
that paid the board bills for that gang Of
voters came from hank in Clearfield, In
| which Senator WALLACE was interested. The
records in this case at Harrisburg will establish
the truth of these statements, and Coffee
pot" WALLACE knows also the truth whereof
affirm. Aud he is for HANCOCK.
This writer further calls the attention
of this statesman, who has been christened
"Coffee-pot WALLACE" ON account of hi'
completely with the above frauds, to tn,
further fact that he was chairman of th,
States that passed the seven million appro
priation for the star route mail contracto
at the recent session of congress, and call
upon him TO tell how much the contractor
of the star routes were bled and who it wa
that carried the swag to Cincinnati, brough
out HANCOCK and thus defeated Hon. san
RAYDALLs man, SAMMY TGLDEN. Their,
is undoubtedly more of this than Senate
WALLACE and his coadjutors in that aifai
will care to tell, but they must recollec
that "n,urder win out" ana the light o
day will sooner or later be brought to bea
upon this "star route" business and show t
the country one of the most bare-faced an,
enormous frauds that has ever disgrace,
our national legislation.

JUDGE MCDONALD said to reporter of
Bullion that the money question would not
be raised in Indiana during the campaign.
He may wish this 20 be so, but LANDERs is
already making an issue, In New Albany,
Shelbyyille and other places he gathered
the prominent greenbackers about him to
declare to them that he had no sympathy
with the hardmoney planks in the state
platform that he was greenbacker first, u
democrat second, Not only is this the case,
but in three districts Of the state LANDERs
made bargain in behalf of the greenbaclS-
ers that they should have the congressman
by coalition with the democrats, but the
hard-money democrats and people of tho
districts would not have it, and the agree
ment has been broken, much to LANDERs'
discomfort. The truth about the whole
matter is that the fiOtic fanatic who is the
candidate of the democrats for governor
will not get the full hard.money democratic
vote, and, knowing this, he is making q

THERE is warm work in Georgia, and in
now going OH between CoLQUITT, HARDE-
MAN and LESTER we do not wonder that
Senator HILL thinks there is too much per-
sonalism in his state politics. 1t seems to
us there are at least three very bad persons
trying to be governor of Georgia. Charges
of trickery, deceit and fraud are persistently
made against CoLoUITT. The existence of
ring Of favorites at the capital, which has
become rich at the states expense through
the governors connivance, the ease with
which compromises are made through GER
tain channels, and tho cooking of reports
upon state finances are some of the sins for
which CoLQUITT is called to account. On
the other hand, the governor attends all the
Sunday schools, camp meetings, religious
conventions, county fairs, etc, and poses as
christian statesman. GORDON, who could
not defer his private affairs long enough to
serve three weeks longer in the senate, has
been on the stump ever since for CoLQUITT,
and has thus proved that his resignation
was in reality sell-out So far CoLQUITT
l
is little ahead in securing delegates to the
state convention, but as it takes two-tbirds
to nominate under the democratic rules in
Georgia, the chances are rather in favor OF
a combination of the opposition to secure
his defeat. Should he be defeated it is
probable that General JOE Brown will fail
Of an election for senator when the legisla-
ture assemblies in the winter. Meanwhile
Doctor FELTON, and his Independents enjoy

not appear to have political virtue and
