DENY 1T. PROVE 1T.

We have possession of these lands
and we intend to hold to them i'm spite
at HI and high water until it is settled
by the highest tribunals of the land.
then II We are beat we will give up
like gentlemen and not before. If the
Monitor man was to visit Elsmore now
he might find out that lynch law was
the order of the day. We think that
the REGISTER has lost more than 500
by publishing that article THAT being
the price they received for publishing
it, GEORGE T.. LANES
The above paragraph from letter
received this week, ls published in or
der that the officers and respectable
members Of the league, may have
rhance to contradict it. They will GER
tainly want to do this, for as honorable
and law abiding men they cannot sub
nit to such ISLANDERS as are contained
in that letter. They cannot aft. I'd to
allow some IRRESPONSIBLE member of
their organization to assert that 'lynch
Law is the order Of the day" i'm their
neighborhood, and that any one who
expresses an honest difference of opin-
ion with them, is likely TO suffer death
if he shows himself among them.
They cannot afford, we say. to let this
letter pass uneontradicted, for it is
enough to prejudice every man in the
county against them. No organization
that endorses such sentiments as it ex-
presses, can or ought to command the
respect Of any good citizen. No cause
can hope TO win that depends on vio-
lence for success. As to the charge
that we received 800 for publishing
the srticIe entitled "Squatters" i'm the
issne of June % We have only TO say
that il is simply lie. We defy any
man 10 prove that We ever re-
ceived one cent for publish
ing that or any other expression of ed
itorial opinion. THE REGISTER doesn't
have to be paid ior saying what It be-
lieyes TO be true, and it cannot be
bought or bulldozed to suppress what
it believes ought to be said. No body
is running this paper now, but the ed
itors OF it. We have discussed this
land question with the most friendly
feelings to both parties and what we
have said has been prompted simply
and solely by what we thought our
duty In the matter, without regard to
either the profit or loss oft. We have
argued purely for what we considered
the best interests of the county, Tor the
observance ofIaws and the preservation
Of order. and we are willing to be
judged by that record.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF COUNTY.
COUNTY TEMPERANCE CON-
YENTION.

The Temperance Convention. which
met in this city last Wednesday was
large and enthusiastic. II We may
Judge by the temper of that gathering,
the recent reverses In this county
have only sraised the 1rish,' and will
bring about a positive and decided re-
action from the lethargy and indiffer.
ence Of the past.
We have not space to report In full
the interesting proceedings of this con-
vention. The speeches bore no uncer-
tain sound, and their burden was that
the prohibitory law must and shall be
enforced the same as any other law.
There were intemperate speeches. as
there always are on such occasions,
but we are glad to say that there was
no serious proposition of separate polit-
ical action. The issue la this county
this fall will be the enforcement of the
law versus notification, and 1t might
just as well be recognized now as later.
1t does not take prophet or the son
Of q prophet to define the position of
the two parties on this issue, and with
that view of the case we want to urge
upon temperance men that it is their
first duty to attend the Republican
priniaries-not to let the primaries GO
by default, and then howl about the
ticket, but see that the right men are
nomiuated-men who are i'm favor of
the enforcement of the law, and men
who can be elected. If law and order
triumph in this county this fall over
the combined and determined efforts
of the opposition, it will be by unre-
lenting work and eternal vigilance
and with those we believe they will
triumph. We do not believe the peo-
pie of Allen county are ready to tram
pie upon the constitution and laws of
the State. If law becomes odious,
let the people, who made it, repeal it !;
but while it is law, let the people,
who made it, respect it.
To return to the convention. A
County organization was formed, with
Rev. f. s. Miller as President, and
DIR. Taylor, Vice-Pres., with township
vice-presidents as follows: Geneva
township, p. r. Mcclure, Deer Creek.

Weatherby, Humboldt, f. A. Barber,
Cottage Grove, S. ]. Stewart, Salem,
Mr.. Marshall, Elsmore, A. Barber.
A. c. Scott was elected Secretary, A.
l.. Dibble. Treasurer.
On motion committee on constitu
ton and bylaws was appointed con-
sisting of A. c. Scott, VIM. Hankins,
and Thos. Bartlett.
Resolutions were unanimously
passed, pledging the Association to
use every means to aid in enforcing
the law, and demanding of county and
State officials their best efforts for its
enforcement. A resolution was also
passed with great enthusiasm thank
ing County Attorney Amos for his
strong fight in the recent cases, and
pledging hearty support in the future.
The evening meeting was largely
attended and ably addressed by Revs.
Holmes, Troyer, and Ruckner.

THE NORMAL.

The Normal Institute opened Mon
day with the largest 'firstdayn attend
ance on record--1O4 being enrolled.
As we go to press the attendance has
increased to 125, which constitutes It
the most successful Normal, in point
of numbers, ever held in the county.
Every thing has started off brisklv.
The great majority of the pupils are i'm
dead earnest, which we can say truly
is characteristic of Allen county Nor
mails. .On account of the unexpectedly
large attendance, Supt. Henderson has
been obliged to take some of the classes
and he takes them well. A considera-
BILE number Of young pupils from the
city schools are in attendance, and
while 1t is of course desirable for them,
and while they will be allowed to con-
tinue during this session It is our decid-
ed opinion that limitation as to age
should be adopted hereafter. The
Normal is for the training of teachers
and not a "crammingn school fer chill
dren. The matter has not gone far
enough yet to constitute a positive
abuse, but it is likely to.
fyou have spare hour in which
you can leave your homes OF your bus
mess, you can spend it pleasantly at
the Normal. Visitors are welcomed.
