Of November nip in the bud.
Mr.. Pilchard got there. pThem
badges done it.
Hannah district has no desire or
wish that the Republican bosses
respect.
Outside of the delegations Demo
Gratis dominated, and went away
laughing at the soft snap in front Of
them.
The colored voter can plainly see
that all the Republican party cares
for him is his vote.
The Republicans are not satisfied
with their county nominees by a
id sight.
The Republicans of Glenwood got
excursion rates, and old Hannah
sent up Democrats two to one.
Mr. Porter, the best man in the
Republican field for sheriff, was
asinged" out Boys, you must sub
NIT to the machine. The GO. p.
has you tight.
The head men in the machine
went to work and indicated their
pedigrees, and claimed to be of
blooded stock from way back.
They attempted to nail several lies,
and eIinch them on the under side.
It made us feel like taking a shingle
and spanking the boys for telling
tales in school or out of school
either. Mr.. Menager and his chair
man, Morris, did themselves proud.
No doubt wisdom will perish with
them.
1t was not a brainy convention;
not by a long chalk. The rank and
file was perhaps at par. but the
bosses are barren of brains. In
proof, gaze at their nominations.
Among the many mean things
resorted to by the Republican gang
to beat Gibbons, was the giving
publicity to private correspondence.
The man who will SO far violate the
rules governing gentlemen ought to
be known so that nobody would
trust him.
Nothing but one poor little sheriff
below the Kanawha. That means
defeat. The goose is cooked right
now.
More of a mob than convention;
the brethren were hot in the collar,
and are still heating.
Boss Gibbons was in the aay" and
out of the ';fiy," about the limits and
the ragged edge, and on the 'sfy,"
and at last was caught on a pin
hook and landed fiat as founder.
He deserved better fate, for he
has made the Republican partysaIl
that it is in this county, and with
out him and his ability as an organ
izer, they can never win
Menager is daisy, and we are at
a loss to know why there are SO
many Republican lies afoat, that.
he thought it necessary to nail them
in his opening speech.
Boss Gibbons and johnny Whit
ten can now plainly see that the
Republicans of this county have no
use for them. These gentlemen
carried them to victory, and now
the other boys think they are pop
ular enough to gather in the spoils.
Can they hope for success if the
Boss should happen to sulk 'tleetle

OF all the men before the Repub-
lican convention, Johnny Forrest, of
Arbuckle, who was a candidate for
Assessor, was the worst sat
down upon. We extend to him our
sympathy, and no doubt he knows
now that there is an awful lot of liars
in the Republican party. The trade
had to be made, and Mr.. Forrest
