REPUBLICANS WHITTIER

REP UBLICANS WHITTIER A.?
We had almost written, as the cap
ton: Republicans, what of the night?
the night that surrounds all business
interests, that overshadows all enter
prise, that is running the capitalists
and bringing them to bankruptcy by
no profits, that has brought the far
mer to borrowing and mortgage by
low prices, that causes the laborer's
family to go unfed and unclothed by
want of work and low wages? What
of this, and whittier are you tending ?
Truly you are cut to death by feuds
and factions-burdened by the dead
weight of incompetent and impolitie
leaders. Are you able to cast off these
shackles and rise to the ability of of
fering to the people, more work, bet
ter prices, lessened taxation, reduc-
ton of local debt, safer and better
government and protection of all our
varied industries? If so, then there
is chance for your success if nay,
then you are doomed to defeat
There are men in this community, old,
middle-aged and young, who will not
be ruthlessly trampled down by i'm
position, wrong, conspiracy and SO
cret doings of any clan or clique in
either party, and the party that con
tinues to uphold such ruinous, bur
dens, can have no chance for success.
You meet in convention to-day. BY
your action you will be judged. Give
to the people fair and unaquivocal
principles. Nominate intelligent, true
and impartial men--not the bench
men OF any gang or crowd, aud you
have fair chance for success. Do
otherwise, and you may be sure of
defeat. Practically these are the days
of manly manliness, personal man
hood and independent action. Now,
whittier?

CONTENTION NOTES.

Messrs. Haines, of the SPIRIT Of
jefferson, and Gallaher, of the Free
Press, attended as lookers-o on.
Hon. Jos. S. Duckwall was the
general of the day.
They do not want lawyers in posi-
tions, but when Duckwall broke for
the boys, the Jefferson men needed q
lawyer. and needed him badly.
The chairman would not let Mr..
Duclzwall be interrupted, though
there was no motion before the house.
That is new rule, for if there was
nothing before the body, both were
out of order.
The convention adjourned sine de
and then new one was organized
in the afternoon. BY what technical
parliamentary process can this be
accomplished ? The vitality expir-

IAs.- Our city is favored this year by
the me eting of number of Grand
Bodies. Among these is the conven-
tion of the Grand Lodge, knights of
Pythias on the 10Th inst. This promis-
es to be session OF peculiar interest,
not only to the Order, but also to the
city from the fact t,Sat Past Supreme
Chancellor J. III. Throne, the found
er of the Order will be present and de-
liver free lecture in the Central Opera
House on the evening of the 18th. On
the afternoon of the same day there
will be an imposing parade participated
in by knights from all parts of the
State and portions o. Maryland. Inc
Mechanics Band will head the process
sion, and the City Band will furnish
music at the Opera House and after
ward at the banquet at Fellers' Hall.
The tickets to the banquet are so cents,
and all who know Mr.. and Mrs. Fellers'
capacity for providing for such an oc-
casion may be sure that they will be
amply supplied in that line to satisfy
the inner man. Washington Lodge has
never heretofore solicited aid from the
public in any shape or form, and it is to
be hoped that many of our citizens will
patronize them on this occasion. Re-
member the lecture is free and will be
treat in itself. The founder of the Or
der in accepting the invitation to de-
liver an address expressed desire to
see as many ladies present as possible

In the proceedings of the Demo
cratic convention held on Saturday
last, published in another column,
will be found the names of their nom
inees. We will not say that they Sc
lected the very best men of their par
ty for standard bearers, for the rea-
son that such a comparison is unne-
cessary and too broad an assertion,
but we will say that the nominees are
all clever gentlemen, and good, re
spectacle and trustworthy citizens
They are stronger in themselves than
are the resolutions in practical ex-
preston. The last Democratic legis-
ture is soundly kicked by this con
vention on the tobacco license, and
really we see no difference between
that and the license required for some
other matters. For instance, the Ii
cense required Of home corporations
in addition to taxation, is far worse
than if the State required a special
tax upon luxuries aud reduce on the
necessaries Of life.
