MAKING DEMOCRATS FEEL GooDAMr. Prem
ts, in his STEW desultory remarks, Friday even
ing, said that il was good rule for Republicans
always to observe, never to de anything to make
a Democrat feel good. Are we to understand
from this, that it is the highest mission Of Re-
publican to labor with an eye single to spiting
Democratsf II 50, the Republican party has
fulfilled its mission, and outlved its usefulness.
When any Republican principle is at stake, in
opposition to Democratic principle, it is Q good
plan to fellow Mr.. Prentiss advice. But this
duty ceases when Republicanism is not the issue.
The Republican party should strive to please
Republicans, if it does not want membsrs of the
party to do anything to please Democrats. When
Republican Convention meets, and resolves to
go into campaign upon an issue that is outside
of recognized Republican doctrine, and which is
obnoxious to a very large portion of the party,
and these voters are denounced rs whiskeyites,
and kickers and subjects for the fool killer, they
are pretty apt to resent it, even il in so doing
they give pleasure to Democrats. Eloquent al
lusions to ths men who died to save the Union,
are powerless TO convince. fanatical crusade
for the benefit of an illiterate demagogue, is not
just the thing to work men up to n sufficient
pitch of enthusiasm to vote against their own
convictions in order to avoid making Democrats
feel good.

The LEGISLATIVE TIcKET.-The Republican
nominees for Representatives from this County,
are S. L. Ryan and +. H. Dreaming. Mr.. Dren-
ming has served some five or six terms in the
Legislature, and has been n member Of both
branches. The experience and acquaintance
with parliamentary affairs which he has acquir-
ed, will make him a useful member. A strong
request for his nomination came from Wathena,
where he resides, which shows that he stands
well at home. Mr.. Ryan is a young man of abil-
ity, and should make his mark in the Legislature.
Until the last two or three years, he was Dem
ocrat. We have had but one fault to find with
Mr.. Ryan, as q politician. He came into the
party impressed with the belief that there was
"Ring" that must be put down before perfect
peace and happiness could prevail. If he re-
mains in the party long, and takes an active
hand in politics, he will discover something
about this Ring business. He will find there
are certain gentlemen who have an itching for
Office, but who somehow, can never get there,
and that these are the fellows who keep up the
squawk about Rings. He will also discover
that when he fails to trot up and help these fel-
lows carry out their little schemes of personal
spite, he will belong to the Ring body and
breeches. He will find that the Ring is compos-
cd of Republicans who keep wide awake, and
work energeticalIy; while those who denounce
the Ring are chronic grumblers, and do no work
for the party except growing.

A' uoe' .ad fair shake, thus far, we fail to un-
"e'~~ ld that peculiar kind Of shake. He an
wv need himself as . candidate, subject to tho
-.epublicau nomination, and made thorough
canvass Of the County, previous TO the primaries.
A good part Of this canvass was made, and pledg-
es of support obtained, before any opposing can
didate had entered the field. He and his friends
looked after every precinct, and never missed
point for want of any kind of representation or
promise necessary to secure pledges. contest
was made at the primaries in nearly every pre-
cinct some Of them very lively snes, aud the re-
suit was a majority Of from eight to twelve del
egates against Mr. Close. After the primaries,
with this result, most persistent canvass was
made among-the delegates elect, to induce them
to vote for him, contrary to the pledges upon
which they had been elected; and SO satisfaeto-
ry it was TO him, that he thought If he eould get
vote by ballot in the Convention, so that it
could not he known how delegates voted, a suf-
ficient number would 60 over to him to give him
the nomination. 1t was pretty sure that every
delegate who wanted to "play off" would vote
for a nomination by ballot, and the issue was
staked upon that vote. But the ballot scheme
was defeated by the same eight or ten majority.
At this step, Mr.. Close informed the Convention
that his name would not be submitted to it. He
had been in the habit Of boasting that he always
stuck TO the ticket, and il he was defeated, he
never sqnsaled; and that he was going to vote
the straight ticket, st. John and all. But, after
publicly announcing himself as subjeet to the
Convention, he refused to go into the Conven-
tion when he found that he was beaten, but an
nounced himself as an independent Republican
candidate. Yet. two days after the Convention,
Democratic mass convention was held at Sew
erance, to which all persons were invited who
were opposed to st. John and prohibition; and
Mr. Closes workers were found there, trying to
get that Convention to endorse him, or to recon-
mend that Democrats support him. A motion
to that effect was made, but was defeated by a
vote of two to one. But with desperate persist
ency, resolution to the same effect was again
offered, but was cried down.
Now, certainly think that Mr.. Close has
had fair shake. At any rate, he has had a
shake at everything that came in sight-at the
Republican primaries, in the Concentration, as
an independent candidate, and in striving for
Democratic endorsement. We feel pretty sure
that il he had padded his own canoe, and at
tended strictly to his own canvass, and had not
attempted to shoulder and fight the personal re-
venges of others, he would have had no trouble,
and would not have been compelled to appeal

motion was made to recommend F. j. Close

Objection was raised that the Democrats did not

the Democrats of this County had endorsed and
elected Republicans heretofore, they always got
slapped in the face by the very men they helped
The motion was voted down, and the Office of
District Clerk was left open.
B. A. Seaver, of Highland, was nominated for
County Attorney.
7. B. Marshall was named for County Super
intendent. Mr.. Marshall declined the nomna-
tiOn, saying that he was in favor of Shancr. The
Office was left open.
James +. Formsn, of Donphan, was nomna-
ted for County Surveyor.
The Democrats of the Second Representative
District met at Troy, on Monday, and nominated
Joseph Davis, of Washington Township, for
Representative, by reclamation. Mr.. Davis was
