Blessed are the Peace-Makers.

from the Mineral Point Tribune and
comments as follows:
..In view of the fact that there are
now two Republican Central Commit
tees in this Congressional District-the
result of the ''Gnpleasantness" at Mon
roe last summer-the Mineral Point
Tribune suggests the following plans
which it heads, "A Prescription. to be
well shaken before taken,a for the pur-
pose of bringing about a unity of action
in the Republican ranks in the canvass
to take place next fall
First That the gentlemen OF both commit
tees named at Monroe transmit TO Judge Glenn
entson at Lancaster. answers to questions such
as the following: "Wi you resign as n member
Of the Republican Congressional District Com
mittee, and recognize the chairman of the sew.
eral county committees of the district. acting
together, as the Only Republican Committee for
the Sd distriety viii you meet with the gentle
men named at Monroe as congressional com
mittees, in Dodgevilie, Cor any other placer ON
November 18th. 1888. and abide by any plan sup
ported by majority OF such meeting, TO leave
but one committee claiming recognition in the
distrcts Have yon any plan TO propose for the
accomplishment Of the desired objects
Second. That on or before November Sth
Judge Clementson have published In the Grant
County Herald and the State journal, state
how many negatively TO each question and how
many failed to respond-without giving names
IL a majority OF each committee answer either
OF the two first interrogatories aftrmatiyely the
desired result viii be accomplished. IL major
ity OF either committee answer no to each of the
two first questions. let the editors Of the Re
publican papers OF the district unite in call
published in their respective journals urging
the chairmen of the several county committees
to assume the duties of a congressional district
committee; and give notice that they (the edi
tors will not publish any call for congressional
district convention unless signed by the said
county committee chairmen, nor support any
candidate nominated by convention not SO
called.s
1.-The suggestions offered by the Trib-
une are no doubt offered in the interest
of unity and harmony, and as such will
meet the approval of every member
of both committees. We have con-
suited with all the members of
the committee chosen by the con-
vention which nominated Mr.. Hazel
ton as well as several chosen
by the convention which nominated Mr..
Reyes, and found that they were willing
to join in any arrangen ent that would
secure unity and harmony in the dis
trict. The duties devolving upon the
Congressional Central Committee, on
all ordinary occasions, are very simple,
and amount to SO little that, if there is
% disposition on the part of all con-
cerned that unity and harmony should
prevail, there should be no feeling as to
what particular man or set of men
should perform the work. The princi-
pal if not the only duty which will de-
volve on the committee in this district
next year will be to name time and
place of holding the convention The
number and manner of electino dele
gates has been heretofore decided by
the convention in session and has al
ways been regarded as instructions by
the committee until changed in the same
manner
IAN effort was made last winter to
bring about meeting of the members
OF the two committees. which failed for
the reason that Mr.. Bacon, of Green,
was sick, Mr.. Osborn. of La Fayette,
was prevented from attending by bust
ness engagements, and our business ar
engagements are such that it is very in
convenient and almost impossible to
leave on the day appointed for the meet
ing, and Mr.. Bryant having resigned,
MIR. Reese, of Iowa, was the only men,
Der present of the committee elected by
the convention which nominated Mr.
HazeltOn who attended the meeting.
And as there was but two members of
the committee elected by the convention
which nominated Mr.. Reyes present, no
organization was effected or business
done"
We have examined the label and read
the directions for taking with great
care. and, although we feel that our (di-
gestive) organ has never at any time been
out of order, we have concluded to stake
the DOSE and add our testimonial for the
promotion Of harmony and good fell
lowship in our party rank and file.
We have conferred with Judge Glenn
entson and find that he will act as
receptacle of the resigna-
tions of the two committees named at
Monroe, provided no other plan more
feasible can be agreed upon, and at the
solicitation of the gentlemen concerned.
We would suggest that the two Mon
roe committees meet together at such
time and place as they shall see fit; that
they sign resignation in favor of the
chairmen of county committees and
send the same to Judge Clementson at
Lancaster; whereupon Judge Clement
son shall instruct the said chairmen to
issue a call, when the proper time for
such call shall arrive.
In conclusion we would call upon
these gentlemen and the voters of the
district generally in the interest of The
party to lay aside personal differences
and rally round the standard of the
grand old party which every true re-
publican regards higher than factional
or personal interests. Every move
ment of reform in our political affairs
in this generation has been formulated
and carried forward by this same party,
holding that the record of the republic
can party in the past in both national
and state affairs-is the best gual antee
for its acts in the future, and when as
republicans we sink deep personal feel
ings showing that principles rather
than men is our slogan, the people will
sustain us vigorously at the polls and
the work in the interest of good govern
ment, and the reforms inaugurated by
the Republican party, will go forward
in the 3rd congressional district as of
old, and success will crown our efforts
in 1884.
Army Changes.
