CALEDONIA COUNTY.
Caledonia county affords an excel
lent field for live, healthy republic
an paper. The old Star, which is
right at heart but too poorly equipped
to do efficient service, is the only re-
publican paper in the county. The
Union is democratic; the Iadec has
a democrat for an editor, and is re-
publican only to spite its neighbor
and s'for revenue !" the Caledonian,
which has long been sour and crab
bed = though perhaps theoretically
| right some of the time-has come
out strongly in opposition to Blaine
and Logan, and is really worse en-
envy to the party than the Union or
the Argus. So far as we can learn
all leading republicans and the great
mass of the party are for the ticket.
A good republican paper would find
many subscribers during the cam
paign.
The two conventions held here last
week were more harmonious than
some meetings have been heretofore,
and the deliberation were marked
with candor and discretion. The
temperance people did not put a tick
ct in the field, but adjourned their
meeting, doubtless to be able to act
more Understandings when the tick
ct of the regular republicans should
have been made. The Republicans
had spirited meeting, but one that
was very creditable to the county.
Hon. Fl. G. Idle and Hon. Chas. ID.
Brainard were nominated for senators.
Jabez Smith and John H. George for
assistant judges Isaac NJ. Smith,
sheriff Marshall Montgomery, state S
attorney; W. P. Smith, judge of
probate. The ticket Is a good one
and appears to be satisfactory to all
elements. Strong resolutions favor
ing Blaine and Logan were adopted
and enthusiastic speeches made by
Col. Fairbanks, Bliss n. Davis anG
others.
