The County Convention.

The Republican county convention meets in
this city to-day. 1t will be its duty to nomi-
nate ticket that will command the respect
and the undivided support of the Republicans
of Waldo county, and with that duty well per-
formed an easy victory is assured There is 10
farther excuse for the local dissensons in Bel
fast which cost us large part of the ticket
two years ago. The lines will be drawn As be-
tween Republicans and Democrats and all who
are not with us must be counted against us.
The most important nominations, and those in
which mistake will be most fatal, are the
nominations for sheriff and county attorney.
The Republican party, by its record and by its
platforms, is the party of temperance, of law
and order. To nominate for officers Of the law
men who will ignore, or conniye at. the violation
of law would be suicidal, and would bring re-
proach upon the party making such nomina-
tons. In this matter Swanville has taken the
lead and by formal re solution instructed her
delegates to the county convention ''to use
every honorable effort TO secure the nomina-
ton of men of avowed temperance principles"
The Prohibition county convention held in
this city last Saturday left two vacancies in lis
ticket. 1t made no nominations for sheriff or
county attorney. We do not know why this
was done; but it seems significant. 1t may be
interpreted as meaning that if the Republicans
nominate the right men for these offices they
will receive the Prohibition vote. The fact
that most if not all, of the Plohibtionist>
were formerly Republicans would warrant
this conclusion. We think they made Il mis-
take in leaving the Republican party, and that
their course in organizing third party is not
likely to promote the temperance cause. but
we have freely conceded their sincerity and
honesty of purpose. The object of their Or
ganization is the enforcement Of the prohibit
tory law. The Republican party is >quarely
committed TO that policy. 1t cannot afford,
even in county convention, to take action in
consistent with its record and its professions.
If in making nominations for officers of the
law the temperance element of the party is
ignored defeat is certain. If ''men of ;NoW ed
temperance principles" are nominated. victory
is certain.
