Several prominent causes have conspircd
to defeat the republican county ticket, and
it might be as well to enumerate the more
important ones so That the republicans may
sec and croft by their fragrant laundering
Of the principal causes only we will speak,
and they may, in brief, be classed as for
lows: bad management, selfishness, spite
work, apathy and jealousy. The bad
management is conspicuously apparent in
the results of the elections of the past four
years, which have demonstrated very
evident desire on the part of some of the
leaders to serve personal and not public
ends, by sacrificing enc part of ticket
that the other might win. Then again it
is apparent in the placing of weak candi.
dates before the public, political debts be-
ing frequently paid by nomination. II is
again seen i'll the general manipulation of
political affairs, the interest of some indi-
vidual being madeof ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
to that of the whole party. This condition
of affairs is due principally 10 one error of
Judgement. The republicans of this coun-
ty have yet to learn that their majority is
not so large that nomination is equiva
lent TO an election, and they have also to
know that while many voters are repnbli-
can in state and national affairs, they are
independent in local. Sclfshness plays its
part toward defeat, by each candidate
working for himself wholly. regardless of
the welfare of the rest of the ticket, intent
only on crawling into office, and to gain
the goal frequently sacrificing his party by
trading and forming combinations, thus
working for and with the opposition. Spite
work, did it with its little Ratchet, may
truthfuliy be said of the recent election.
1t played most prominent part in defeat
ing the ticket, and we firmly believe with
out adequate cause. This taking revenge
has played dirty part i'll the politics of
this county for some years past, and will,
unless peace is declared. break the party
into everlasting smithcreens. if it has 10:
already done So Apathy and jealousy al
so contributed TO the general demoralZa-
ton, the former perhaps being in man
her pardonable because of the genuine dis
gust with the gross mismanagement, aud
also because Of the inevitable outcome in
the face of such suicidal bungling. Jcal
ousy always plays a more Or less impor-
tant part in all parties, but we believe il
remains for Stevens county to boast of the
largest number of idiotcally jealous re-
publicans of any county in the state. II
we cannot rule We'll ruin, if we can't have
office 10 one else of our party will, and il
we don't have hand in the making o.
States we'll have hand in the breaking
are the sentiments of not few. Can any
party have strength when such numerous
disturbing elements are eating away its vi
tails? the answer is obvious, and hence WI
would say to the republicans of Steven
county, unless you re organize and har
: mouize, and profit DO the lessons of tn
past, you are forever doomed to impotenc.
as party.
