never do to require a majority to
yield to a minority, and that under
The circumstances he could not hold
the nomination, and therefore re-
signed it. This leaving the conven-
ton without a nomination for
representative, the majority candl-
date was again put in nomination,
which was seconded by a delegate,
who had previously voted with the
minority, which was carried with
but one opposing vote, the chairman
not voting, but had he voted, there
would, perhaps, have been two OPP.
posing votes out of the twelve.
There had been hint TO the effect
that possibly Cache would not allow
Rich to have a representative in
the Legislature, and it costing time
and trouble to 60 from Rich county
to attend the Logan convention, the
majority delegates deemed best for
the nominee to attend said conVen-
ton, and endeaV0r in it to show the
propriety of allowing Rich a repre-
sentative in the Legislature, but
previous to the time for starting for
Logan on said business, on consulta-
ton with friends, it was decided not
to 60, fearing that should said nomi-
nee APPEAR before said convention,
it might seem to be more to advance
his personal interests than those Of
the county.
Now, Messrs. Editors, under these
circumstances, where does the term
clique apply? And if the Rich
county nominee has always voted
for the candidates of the Peoples
party and for none others, and has
in no way at any time ever been
identified or associated with any
other political party whatever, what
excuse can there be for trying to
impair his standing in the Peoples
yarty? Should there be any
valid reason for so doing,
your correspondent is quite willing
that it be shown and proven. In
morning gown and slippers, with
hair in papers, a Faber behind his
ear and Whiskers brushed at the
proper angle, said nominee in ap-
pearsnce would not be unlike the
editor Of the Journal under similar
circumstances; or both in black
coats and light craYats would, 80 to
speak, pass for a pretty well
matched pair of steers on the plat
form in Young Mems Christian
Association meeting, albeit close
scrutiny might detect a peculiar
snap in the Rich county mans eye
somewhat dissimilar from the
calmly upturned expression of the
Journal editors organ of vision.
When it comes to pedigree, how
ever, said editor is much ahead OF
the Rich county man, the former
having published one of very fine
strain and magnificent length
while the latter has nothing tC
specially boast of in that line. Ii
there be any one thing above
another of a worldly nature thai
ranchers have a profound venera
ton for, it is pedigree of satisfac-
tory proportions and attendant goO(
qualities, such guide being scru-
pulously followed by them in thu
selection o. valuable blOOded stock
If the Journal editor should la

raDchers of this region, the Will,
judiciOusly exhibiting his pedigree
ne would be the recipient of HON
