Republican County Convention.

The Republican County Convention
convened at the court house in Napo-
leon on Saturday last. The g. o. p. as
sembled as delegate body, made up of
the simon pure, party tried, office hold
ing and office seeking element. No
soreheads were allowed to apply, and
even that independent champion of in
dividual rights (for holding office from
a Republican standpoint, VIM. H. Stock
man, was shamefully snubbed, p. d. h.
The machinery was put in motion by
that old veteran, Capt. Randall, at II a.
m., who sounded the keynote when he
as much as said the mission of the
great (?) Republican party was har-
mony and to get and hold office, and
upon this point there were no factions.
With q characteristic squint of the eye
he skipped over the stalwart faction,
the halfbreeds, the free whiskyites and
the temperance fanatics, and scared
away to the teat-sucking, harmonious
Republican family. The keynote was
rapturously received, and it appeared
the teats would fall short, but the big
bosses came to the rescue, and for the
sake of harmony assigned the would be
teat suckers as follows, tail uppermost:
Coroner-Capt. A. NJ. Willard.
Infirmary Director-G. w. Warner.
Surveyor-John H. Horning.
CommissiOner-Jas. Reed.
Recorder-W. J. Barr.
Treasurer-JOhn Voigt.
Representative-John Frease.
A little tail heavy, but every voter in
the county will have no trouble in rec
ognizing the thing, as it has been ex-
hibited as side-show from time i'm
memorial, with little variation.
While the work of the convention
proceeded, the stiffness was oppressive,
and to relieve the monotony many of
the g. o. p. retired for refreshments and
contributed literally to the poor fund
a la st. Scott. But the work was soon
completed, merely to acclaim the will
of the bosses, and when this was done
and the familiar thing was held up to
public gaze, the disgust was too appar-
ent and the show was declared a hum
bug.

CONVENTION NOTES.
There were several vacant chairs.
The Democrats enjoyed the exhibi-
tion.
A funeral could not have been more
quiet.
Some of the townships were not
represented.
Palmer as Secretary gobbled up the
Chairman's chair.
How innocent the Napoleon bosses
appeared, but they got there.
Boss Sheffield, where, oh, where was
William? Staid away, all for harmony.
Senator Norton, your one ahead,
now look out for breakers.
J.H. TYLER.
BRO. Fouke did not put in an ap-
pearance. Probably he didn't like the
company.
The reclamation fever was inocu-
lated from the recent Republican State
convention.
Pope was the only man who objected
to holding Office. He was the Jumbo
of the occasion.
Bill Williams said Mr.. Frease had
retired to private life. The people will
not call him hence.
Reed said he would not be a candi-
date under any circumstances. Hewas
only joaking, though.
Tyler and Stockman can now be
brothers. How ungrateful parties can
be, when they take notion.
Reed made a fair chairman, but he
thought people looked upon him as a
bigger man than he really was. At
ter election they won't think 50.
In assigning Mr.. Voigt to his posi-
tion he was exhibited as the man who
knew nothing else but vote the Repub-
lican ticket! Exceptions noted.
How bold the g. o. p. was, and how
determined the boses for simon pure
ticket, after securing the county for a
weak-kneed' Democrat TO go on the
ticket, and failed!
Poor Billy Stockman. He was COM
pletely squelched. 1t is now in order
for William to re-convene his inde-
pendent followers. Will chairman New
man step forward?

The hopes of courtl my hopes

THE best kind of Democracy for a
Democratic voter to carry about with
him is that which teaches submission to
the will of the majority, as expressed in
conventions and by primary elections.
1t is easy for man to vote his party
ticket when it is made up in all particu-
lars just to his liking; the test of his
party fealty comes when his political
duties invite him to vote ticket made
upnot in accordance with his personal
preferences in the matter of candidates.

These sad, remorseful words of Cardi-
nal Woolsey must have painfully oc-
Cured to Justin III. Tyler when he was
so cruelty ignored by the Republican
convention last Saturday. Fresh from
legislative experience and parliamenta-
ry practice, courtesy required that he
should at least have been honored with
the chairmanship; not only was this re-
fused him, but his name was not even
suggested for denomination nor the
petty tribute of an endorsement of his
legislative service even limited at. After
having supported the outrageous appor-
tionment bill and swallowed the Scott
law, such treatment is simply shameful,
and well may Justin say:

An argument"

The Signal of last week copies edi-
tOrially, and presents as an argument"
in favor of the retention of the Republic
can party in power, an article from the
Chicago Inter Ocean containing an ar
ray of figures showing the reduction of
the public debt since 1S65-eighteen
years. From these figures it appear
that in this number Of years, ever since
the close of the war, the Republican
party has paid 81 .O4S, ,3Ol ,144 of the pub
lie debt-being S57, ,00l ,l74 per year.
No fault is found with the Republi-
can party for reducing the debt, the
fault Is in not reducing it much more
than it has been reduced. Within the
last five years-from 1878 to 1882 inclu-
sive-the Republican partyhas collected
from customs and internal revenue
alone sum much greater than the total
amount paid on the public debt during
eighteen years, having collected from
these sources the enormous amount of
81, 500, 10, l47-being, in five years, S457-
42l ,003 i'm excess of the aggregate
amount of debt paid in eighteen years.
1t is the misapplication of the surplus
with which the people find fault. Here
is S457 ,42l ,003, and in addition the en-
tire receipts of the government for thir-
teen years not accounted for.
There is now in the treasury of the
United States over three hundred mil
lion dollars of surplus revenue. What
argument" can our Republican friends
derive from these facts to justify the
continuance of the enormous, oppress-
i've, unequal and unjust tariff laws?
If the various sums squandered on
the multiplicity of officers, lost by de-
falcatiOns, stolen by star route and
other thieves, given as bounties to cor
porate monOpolies, and put where they
would "do the most good" for political
purposes by river and harbor appropria-
tion, had been applied to the liquida-
tions of the public debt the government
would to-day not owe one cent instead
of being still in debt billion and half.
Truth requires that we should add
that the article from the Inter- Ocean
does not correctly represent the present
amount of the public debt. The state
ment of the debt for July shows that
while the debt, less cash in the Treasury
was less by nearly $S, 900, 900 than it was
July l, yet the actual reduction for July
was, in round numbers, 81, 100000. The
cash in the Treasury was increased
little over $6,OOO,OOO. The amount of
bonds redeemed July, last year, was
$13, 100000. The amount redeemed this
year, during July, was only $3.50, 900.
In spite of the operations of new tariff
and internal revenue laws, the revenues
of the Government during the last
month were only $4,2OO,0OO less than
they were during July of last year. The
custom receipts were nearly $l,OOO,0O0
larger. The internal revenue receipts
fall off So, 800, 900 as compared with the
receipts of July last year. Much Of
this reduction is attributable to the re-
peal of bank taxes, which were payable
in July.and January of each year. July.
of last year had the benefit of these
taxes.

four days after doing so deserted, but was

eral made return that DemiDg. being 2

The Court decided that the enlistment
Of Deming was in the nature OF civil
contract, and that he, being a minor, could
not be legally bound by such contract,
except in cases specially provided Tor. OF
which this was not an adjunct. The Gen
eral suggested that the enlistment act OF
