MEMORIAL DAY.

BY virtue of statutory laws in some
of the States, by proclamation of their
respective governors in others, by the
universal custom of the Grand Army
of the Republic and by the common
consent of all the people, next Monday
will be marked all over the north by
services in memory of the men who
yielded up their lives that the govern
ment at Washington might still live.
1t is well that this should be done. 1t
is well that at least once each year, We
should stop to recall at what an infinite
cost this Union has been preserved. 1t
is well that We should revivify our pa
triotism by contemplating the sublime
heroism of those whose love of country
was great enough to shut out love of
self. 1t is well that we should renew
our VOWS to live for the land for which
those at whose graves we stand were
not afraid to die. We should be proud
to observe the day, for that nation hon.
ors itself that honors its heroes.
But while all the people gladly unite
in these memorial services, the day is
peculiarly the soldiers day. 1t is Sd
cred to the memory of men that were
his comrades, that touched elbows with
him On the weary marches, that sat
around camp fires with him, that
''drank from the same canteen that
walked with him undaunted into the
flame and thunder of battle. that fell
at his side, their lives a ransom for the
flag that beckoned them onward and
whose starry folds wave a benediction
over their graves this day. The whole
world may admire them but none can
know 30 well the fortitude and heroism
of those who fought and fell, as the
ones who can say "All Of this we saw,
and part of it We WERE" So let all old
soldiers take part in the ceremonies Of
Day, and let them be given
the place of honor for it is the memory
IF their dead that we are honoring.

TIE CANDIDATES.

AS may be seen by consulting our
announcement column, number OF
gentlemen present their claims for con-
sideration at the hands of the coming
republican convention. The following
notes are given by way of introduction:
MR.. c. E. MERwIN
is candidate for the office of County
Superintendent of Public instruction.
Mr.. Merwin has taught seven years in
the schools of the county, advancing at
every change he has made until he now
has charge of the primary department
Of our city high schools. He has been
one of the board of county examiners
for five years past, and has been en-
ployed as instructor in our county nor
NAL. lie is a pleasant, affable gentle
man, well acquainted with the educa-
tional needs of the county, aud if nom
mated will be elected.
The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1886-05-28
r. NJ. AUSHERMAN

Is a candidate for the same position.
Mr.. Ausherman has also taught for a
numb n of years in the county and has
given eminent satisfaction, being now
employed as first assistant in the Hum
boldt schools. He is a graduate Of the
State Normal School, and q young
man of great energy and integrity who
would be a credit to the republican
ticket.
CAPT. H. A. EWING
presents himself as a candidate for the
Office of County Attorney. Although
only a resident here for some four
years, Capt. Ewing is already well
known in the county having taken an
active part in the campaign last fall
and having made a'number Of public
addresses in different parts Of the coun.
ty. He has been engaged in the prac-
tice of law for twenty years, and If
nominated would bring to the Office
to which he would certainly be elected
wide experience and sound judgment.
Personally the Captain is very popular
among those who know him best, be-
ing a special favorite among his old SOL
der comrades. He will undoubtedly
poll heavy vote at the primaries.
III. FISHER
is q candidate for the same position.
Mr.. Fisher scarcely needs introduction
at our hands, as he is propably person.
ally known to more people in the coun-
ty than any other young man in it.
He has been deputy county attorney
for three years past and has displayed
great activity and ability in discharg-
ing the duties of the office. He is also
serving his second term as attorney for
the city of lola. AS the son of vet
cram he stands well among old soldiers
and will go into the convention with a
strong following.
