CONVENTION NOTES.
The LaMoure party we're very detected
on Monday evening. Later that night it
is said they coralled tile man who could
turn them the necessary support for a
consideration. Accordingly that party
looked more serene the next morning,
while the anti-LaMoure people began to
feel correspondingly restless.
We submit that the proper way to take
. vote OH an important question, OF upon
candidate in such convention, is not
by ballot. The ballot is designed for the
individual voter who represents himself
only. and not for the delegate who may
represent a township and who is Therefore
accountable to those for whom he exer-
cises the right. The reasons are obvious
More than one Of the apparently sue
cessful candidates are just now terribly
loaded down with promises to fulfil
Either they OF friends have put burden
upon them that is liable some day to
break their backs.
Mr.. H. 7. Beyans proved competent
and able presiding officer. He had IN
easy command of the convention, and
was alike courteous to all. But his SYM
pathies appeared to us to be ON the wrong
side.
The attitude of Mr.. Robert Tweedlie
at the county Republican convention at
tracted considerable attention. He had
previously protested to be fighting
against the LaMoure party, but when he
got to the convention heappeared to all to
be either crcuching ON the fence or in
trigling with the enemy. And he got
the nomination.
