The Republican Congressional Con-
vention.

The Republican Convention to nominate
a candidate for Congress liz the 10th dis
trict, which assembled in Stanton on the
LIST instant, was one OF the largest, most
harmonious. earnest, determined and en-
thusiastic bodies we have ever witnessed.
Every county in the district was repre-
sented by intelligent delegates, and not a
note of discord or a whisper of dissenslon
was heard during the entire proceed ing
The spirit manifested and the unity OF
purpose exhibited were splendid augury
for a triumphant result. The speeches
delivered by Messrs. Allen, Hubbard and
Craig, in support of the clear, bold and
aggressive platform and the nominating
remarks OF Messrs. Hubbard, Franklin,
Tinsley and Woods would do credit to any
BODY of men ever assembled for delibera-
tive purpose. The proceedings pres ented
an agreeable contrast to those OF the Dem
ocratic Convention which assembled in
Lexington month ago to name the can
didate of that party, and in nothing was
the contrast so striking and significant as
in the formal declarations of the two
bodies. In. the Lexington Convention
there was no platform adopted. A studied
evasion of the vital practical questions OF
the day and humiliating failure to an
nounce any doctrine or declare any prin-
ciple. characterized the one, while a bold.
clear, manly enunciation OF opinion upon
all the issues of the day marked the other
1t is q contrast that emphasizes the char
acter of the two parties and presents in
strong and convincing relation the con-
vlction and purpose of the respective
organizations The Republicans may well
be proud of the action of their representa-
tive body, and go forward in the contest
before them with an encouraging hope OF
success. e,f.ssl ss. l-; i,s5.i,4H i.si

The Democratic State Conventions of
Tennessee and Texas have declared their
opposition to the Blair Educational BILL.
That sentiment represents the party
throughout the country. and the caucus of
Democratic Congressman vii; conform Ito
that sentiment when it it is called upon

to vote against the caucus order, however
much he may have consulted public feel-
Ing in trying to get votes to secure his
election. The Republicans as 2 party ia,
vor popular education and national aid 20
the public free schools, and the Democrat
ic party. as such, opposes it. as evidenced
by International platform and their votes in.
Congress. That is the difference between
the Two parties. aea F NJ

Recess Appointments.

h The Baltimore Aaser5cae's Washington
correspondent under date of the 10Th has
the..foliowing reference to the Presidents
defiance of the Senate in the appointment to
office of persons who have been rejected BY
the Senate. His course in this respect has
caused severe criticism, and shows that in
the exercise of one man power, in defiance
of law, he has surpassed anything ever
charged against his predecessors. 1t is
practical Capitalization xas.. beyond the
widest dream OF Hamilton, and demon
strates that Mr., Cleveland thinks that he
is a law unto himself and that the Execu-
tive is independent. of the coordinate de-
partments of government. The cores
pondent says: i'la''5''if 75'tl
Will the law approve of paying recess
appointees is the question that the account
ing officers of the Treasury Department
are much Worried over. The Tenure
Of Office act, section SO, reads as follows: 4.
1.-The President is authorized to fill all
vacancies which may happen during the
recess of the Senate by reason OF death or
resignation, or expiration of term OF office,
by granting commissions which shall ex-
pire at the end of the next session there
after; and if no appointment BY and with
the advice and consent OF the Senate is
made to an office SO vacant, ortemporarily
filled during such next session Of the Sem
ate, the Office shall remain in allegiance,
without any salary, fees: or emoluments
attached thereto. until it is filled by ap-
by and with the advice and con-
sent of the Senate, and during such time
all the powers and duties belonging to such
Office shall be exercised by such other officer
as may by law exercise such powers and
duties in case of a vacancy in such Office
The Republicans have held that this act
prevents the reappointment OF a man fail
ing to be confirmed by the Senate. The
President, however, in this view of the
second section of the second article OF the
Coustitntion put the construction upon
the words ''that may happen'' to imply
THAT may happen to exist" The account
ing officers of the Treasury do not think it
safe for them to approve the accounts Of
officers of this class under the law.swhich
provides an imprisonment of ten years and
a one thousand dollar fine for allowing the
accounts of persons appointed contrary to |
to the provisions of the tenure of Office act.

Potato Conveution.

The great idea of of combination
among men engaged in the various call
ings and modes of making a living
has even taken hold in the minds Of the
potato-growers of several sections of this
state.
On the seventh Of December, the far
mers engaged in raising potatoes in
and around the Evergreen district will
hold q convention at Evergreen, Jeter-
son county. 1t is expected that $50 OF
200 farmers will be present. Matters
pertaining to the interest of their busl-
ness will be discussed.
There appears to be considerable COM
plant against Denver commission men,
who sell mountain potatoes" as having
been raised in Greeley.
The Evergreen potato raisers justly
claim that if their potatoes are as good
as Greeleys they should have the credit
instead of the former district.
There are other grievances the Ever
green farmers have against the coAmls-
sion men, all of which will ue discussed
Mr.. Stephen Vinot has been invited
to attend the convention as be, being an
"old timer" has many old friends IN
that locality. He has kindly consented
to report the proceedings of the con-
yentiou for The ENQUIRER, and will also
