The ely election resulted in the sclcc-
ton Of five OF the republican nominees
and one Of the democratic nominees.
The GrecHbackega made no nominu-
tons. st 4 caucus held Tuesday night,
OF last week, it was decided by vote
of II to / to hold mass convention
on the following Thursday and place .
full ticket in the field. Thursday night
the weather was disagr,pablu and the
attendance was not large, especially Of
those who favored ticket. On morton
of DR.. Cloud 1t was decided TO pass
nominations this year Previous to the
Grccnback CAUCUS and convention. and
previous to any party action whatever
on the part of the Grcenbackcrs, the
republicans nominated n. c. Irwin,
Greenbackcr,for councilman OF the first
ward, and Fred Hoppe, Greenbackcr,
for councilman in the second ward.
These gentlemen promptly accepted the
nomination, Notwithstanding their own
party had not yet acted.
Not wishing to impugn in the least
the motive of Mcssers Irwin and Hoppe
but on the contrary granting good mo-
tive on their part, we express the opin-
ion that they did the GrccnDack party
more harm by their accepting nomina-
tions from one of the old parties than
they conld by utterly leaving the party
and working years to break it up,
Previous to the Grecnback caucus and
convention, Mr.. Ben Craycroft was
waited upon by committee OF doma
Gratis, by whom he was requested and
urged to accept the democratic nomin-
tion for councilman of the first ward.
He promptly and resolutely declined
to become their candidate, giving the
very good reason that he was Il Green
haGkGr Repeated efforts were made
by democrats to get him to accept, but
he would not. After the Greenback
convention a petition signed by u num-
Der of voters of the first ward was pre-
sented to him asking him to become an
Independent candidate. lie accepted
this call and he did so solely for what
he thought to be for the best interests of
the Grocnback party, that was to defeat
if possible the bad movement made by
Messers Irwin and Hoppe. He stated
to the writer that should their move
ment prove successful it would he re-
repeated again in the county this fall
and that he believed that was the OBJ
joct of the republicans. We concurred
in the opinion and advised him TO run
Independent. We give Mr., Craycroft
the credit of making as great personal
sacrifice in the interest of the future
welfare of the Grecnback, party as has
been made by any Greenbackcr in Liv-
| inpston county.

The roads are in splendid condition
for staying at home, and will probably
be more so before long.
Our farmers are doing well in spite
of the wet weather, for corn is mostly
