names of Thos. Hughes, who has just

who took the first prize in the State FOX
public speaking this year, and Owen
Morris, Jr., of our town OF Cambria,
who took the first prize last year. Their
ability and reputation are too well
known to need mention, and l think
the best thing we can do as Republicans
in the district of Combria, Butterhut
Valley, Judson, South Bend, Lake Crys-
tai, Lincoln, ETC., is to choose Owen
Morris, Jr, az our candidate. He does
not want to, and has no time, to go
around electioneerine and begging for
votes; but he has consented to be can
didate if we nominate him, and to do
the best he can if elected. Now, who
will second the nomination. Let us,
Republicans of this district, come out
as one man TO nominate him. A strong
pull, u long pull, and phil all together,

woods asking US to pledge ourselves to
vote for them, we are reminded of the
political contest in which we are to en-

so very far off, and we should begin

right man for the right place. I an

those who have come here later know

what others tell to his back who dare
express an opinion, though thousands
be offended by it.
There has been great deal of dis
satisfaction in the county in regard to
our representatives in the legislature ia
the past. We have many times elected
men who were incapable of represent
ing US. We have even elected men
who have wilfully misrepresented US.
This matter, boys, has been growing
worse and worse, year after year, till
now the most worthless knownothings in
in the District consider themselves fit to

soliciting votes by fair or foul means.
When we hire carpenter or blacksmith
we want one who has been trained and
one who has learned his trade. Our
lawyers and doctors must have gone
through long course of study and re-
ceived a diploma before they can prac-
tice among us, and we patronize only
the best of these. Yet we elect to
the Legislature, to make and improve
our laws, to protect our public and pri.
vate interests, uneducated and unprin.
cipled men who too often look after the
interests of their own private purses,
and not after the interests of their con.

young men to this place, who are am.

THERE is something mighty queer
and not altogether consistent, us we
have before remarked, about the
Reuieu's editorials. For instance, the
editor says this week that "the Dem
ocrats of California and throughout
the country have settled the Chinese
question, and John must CO." while
in the same breath this illustrious
individual proclaims that 1.-THE Re-
publicans had clear and decisive
majority in both Houses" and that
"the responsibility of these things
are clearly with the majority" Oh,
consistency! arise thou from the
sand lots of California, wing thy way
to Mankato and embrace this Wise
man of "lamentable wisdom" But
after all, perhaps this Chinese ques-
ton is a "local ISSUE" and if so, then
the editor has been strapped into
q lamentable exhibition of political
ignorance"
