Marked unanimity prevailed at the
Missouri republican convention last
week opposed to the fusion of the re-
publicans and greenhackers. The con-
ventiOn, which was composed of two
persons, was organized and a state

entitled to credit for being unwilling
to endorse the greenback movement.
The republican and democratic can
didates for governor of Illinois had a

Quoting IA canvass, and the modern

Fealty TO Party.

There are many conscientious re-
and wish to vote for st. John, but they
are haunted by the ghost of the posi-
biIity of the advent of the democratic
party to power. A ballot is an indi-
vidual trust, and its exercise must be
determined by each voter. He who
lets the will of the majority influence
his course acts not the part of the man.
He should vote as his conscience die
tatcs, without fear, or favor, or hope
of reward, regardless of the fact of
whether his candidate be elected or
defeated. If IA party so forgets it's OBJ
nominations, the conscientious voter
should rebuke them. In such IL case,
it is the party, and not the voter, that
is answerable for the consequences.
If Cleveland is elected president, the
blame will rest upon the delegates
who outraged the moral sense of the
republican party by unwise nomina-
tons. Party fealty should never
cause IA man to still the prOmptings of
conscience, for caucuses and conven-
tons are only machinery to facilitate
the choice of rulers. They have no
binding force. When Il man takes the
electors oath, he does not swear to
uphold the principles and vote for the
candidates of any party, but is en-
Joined to east his ballot for the best
man, irrespective of party affiliations
or bias. Instead of less conscience in
our politics, more is needed. 1t is this
growing enlargement of conscien-
tiousneSs from politics that makes Il
necessity for st. Johns candidacy.
There is IA demand for a publication of
our politics that will have to be met.
Postponing it only gives temporary re
lief, but does not effect a cure. The
question which presses upon the at
tention of every freeman is whether he
will stite his conscience and vote at
the behest of the party managers or
assert his manhood and show the
courage of his convictions by voting as
his best Judgment dictates.

Unless the majority
exceed 10000, it will not be any larg-
er than might be expected from that
given in Oct. so, when it was 1905.
The prohibitiOnists will vote for St.
John next month, when this majority
cannot he duplicated. The election in
West Virginia gives the state to the
democrats 10y large majority, and the
elections Tuesday leave the two par
ties occupying the same relative posi-
lions as before the elections. Novem-
Der must decide the contest.
