To Select Two sets of Delegates.

Editor Stone, of the Marseilles REGISTER,
who does the wet weather work Of the party,
was there with q wonderfully developed am
bition to reach home as soon as possible He
WAS engaged during the major part of the
time in figuring upon county tab, presum-
ally calculating how much bonus the com.
mittee could stand this year, and as the bus
tie Of the meeting somewhat disturbed his
current of thought, his ambition to get home
arose from the dim. uncertain fog with q
limpid coating
c. B. Chapman bloomed forth US q
prognosticator of more than humorous as
pect, ofiimes bordering on the pathetic. He
wanted to hear political speech from "our
next congressman. Mr.. Henry Mayo" But
Mr.. Mayo sat upon this impromptu boomist
in q way that was cold and distant. He
merely vouchsafed some remarks upon the
ruling Of the National Committee.
Mr.. Walter Reeves and Mr.. Duncan Nc
Dougall attempted to railroad 9 resolution
through. instructing the committee how to
formulate the call.
Mr.. Ed. Nattinger here interposed and
swore, by the shadow of Capt. Fullerton,
that If he wasn't capable Of ser wing on tina,
committee, he would be BANKED il he
wouldn't resign. This seemed to be the pre-
vAiling idea, and as the resolution was out
Of order anyhow, it was withdrawn. Reeves
seemed crushed, and was heard to speak of
ingratiiude, etc., when Nat wasn't looking.

The Is. NJ. A.
The annual meeting for the election OF
officers of the Business Mems Association
was held on Thursday evening, at which
time the old officers were unanimously re-
elected for the ensuing year.
The first business was the discussion of a
Fourth of July celebration. brought up by
the mayor. On his motion the association
recommended that the mayor call meeting
Of citizens for that purpose at such a time as
he deemed BEST
Mr.. William Thomas called attention to
the utter failure on his part, rs member OF
the road committee of the association, and in
spite of much earnest work to create any
sentiment among business men or the high
way commissioners in favor of better roads.
This is largey-in fact, almost entirely
due to the fact that taxpayers have no con.
fdence in the ability or desire Of the road
commissioners to expend road moneys in
such manner as to make permanent i'm.
provements on the roads. The money is
frittered away in hopelessly incompetent
and reckless manner; and the knowledge
that 1t would DO so expended induced voters
last year to defeat project for an enlarged
appropriation for special road work. ANY
attempt to enlarge the appropriation now
will result in the same way, and will always
until the commissioners show some faint
sign of desire to spend the money in
businesslike manner.
Mr.. Cook said there is now talk of asking
authority from the people to extend a special
tax of one-sixth of l per cent. for gravel
in road in Ottawa township. Here are ten
miles of road outside the city in the township.
The tax proposed (for five years. would give
the commissioners $4,000 in addition to
the regular levy. This is double what would
be necessary to make all Of these ten miles
of road equal to the old Appian Way which
is today splendid road after $500 years of
constant use. Already the town has ex-
pended probably five times what was neces.
sary to have made all these roads solid today.
But it is too much to expect that the money
will be voted unless there is an immediate
and substantial reform In the expenditure of
money.
The crying necessity Of good roads for
the business interests Of the city is too ap-
parent for comment. The question is, How
can they be obtained? And, How and when
will q competent road commissioner be
elected? When such body of men is
elected, the money will be freely voted
without doubt; bit it will not be now and
probably ought net to be, for while no one
questions the honesty of the commissioners,
all know that they do not know what will
make good road, much less how to build
one.
The water works question was also dis.
oussed for an hour or two, informally. There
was great diversity Of opinion on the sub
ject. Probably the majority were In favor
Of water works; but there is yet to be q
great deal said on both sides Of the subject
before the actual work of constructing them
10 undertaken.

Pot Calling Kettle Black.

There is no doubt that southern dele
gates to the national Republican conven-
tion sold their votes to the highest bid
der. This fact being admitted the ques.
ton remains who made the cash transac-
tions? Nearly all the votes from tho
south were divided between Sherman and
Algcr. A large number of these dele
gates were originally for Sherman, not
from love, respect or reverence they have
for him, but purely from commercial
standpoint. Shermans agents went
through the south previous to the con-
vention when arrangements were made
whereby for consideration GER
tain specified number of votes should be
delivered to Sherman. The money was
paid over, the votes wero delivered on
the first and second ballots, when they
broke away and went to Alger, Gen. Al
ger, Ex-Governor Alger of Michigan,
lumber baron whose bar'l was filled by
prohibitory tariff. Alger's acquisition of
strength is directly traceable, as Senator
John Sherman says, to purely financial
and commercial transaction. After buying
these highly moral Republican voters by
highly moral Republican statesman it
was presumed they would consider that
some kind of honor should exist between
co1ruptionists, but the second temptation
of tho flesh pots was something more
than their greedy natures could resist.
For Sherman to call Alger a corruptionist
and for Alger to return tho compliment
in kind, it looks very much like case of
the pot calling the kettle black. .-Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.
