A Disgrace to Republicanism.

The REFLECTOR has had occasion
several times since the selection of II.
D. Baker, of Salina, as a delegate to
Chicago to express itself candidly on
the merits of that gentleman. We
have stated explicitly that we believe
his selection to have been the result of
a bargain and sale, and that his pres
ence on the delegation is disgrace to
the State of Kansas and especially to
the Fifth District.
The Developments in the matter of
judgeship of the Fourteenth Judicial
District which have come to light dur
ing the past week confirms our opinion
of that gentleman, and there is now
nothing to further delay the Central
Committee in calling an investigation
of the matter, and determining whether
or not FL. ID. Bakers name should not
be taken off the delegation to Chicago,
and the name of the alternate, Hon.
r. F. Thompson, of Minneapolis, sub
stituted in itsplace.
The part which Mr.. Baker has played
in the Judicial District places him in a
very much worse light, than the man.
ner in which he obtained his nomina-
ton to Chicago. Not only are we in
formed that he used his position as a
delegate to influence the selection of
the judge for the Fourteenth Judicial
District, but that other means, disrep-
utable and unworthy of a Republican
citizen, have been resorted to, by which
honesty in politics and the good name
and honor of the Republican party has
been disgraced, and as Republican
newspaper we protest against the name
of IL. D. Baker being permitted to re-
main upon the delegation to Chicago;
and we believe it to be the unanimous
desire of all honorable Republicans in
Dickinson and Saline counties, who
are at all familiar with the case of this
man Baker, that his name should be
taken from the list of delegates to Chi
cago and some other name substituted
in its place. And we, in behalf of the
Republicans of this county, and part
Of the Fifth Congressional District, re-
quest and demand that the Central
Committee of the Fifth Congressional
District be called together at once and
an investigation made, and if it shall
be shown that the charges against Mr..
Baker are true, that his name be taken
from the list of delegates to Chicago,
and some other name substituted in
its stead.

At the county convention held at the court
house In Abilene in the fall OF 1887 the following
resolution was adopted;
Resolved, That we believe the Crawford coun-
ty system" of holding primary elections prefer
able to the one now in use in this county, and
hereby instruct the County Central Committee
to adopt the same.
"By this we mean that the primary election for
county officers shall be held each year the first
Tuesday in September; that the returns duly Ger
tilted shall be forwarded at once to the secretary
of the central committee; that the central COM
mittee meet on the first Friday after the primary
election and canvass the returns, and declare
those parties nominated by the Republican party
who have received the most votes for the respect
i've Offices. That each commissioner district
elect two members of the central committee, and
that the whole county elect one at large at the
primaries
At the last county convention which met to
elect delegates to the congressional and district
conventions. an effort was made 10 rescind the
above resolution; this was opposed on the ground
that the convention was not fully attended and
the people had not discussed this question at their
primary meetings. After discussion, 1t was
finally resolved that the county central commit
tee should call special attention TO this subject
so that the voters might discuss this question at
the July primaries, to the end that their delegates
to the county convention July els may be pre-
pared to vote intellig1bly and in such manner as
will be fair expression Of the opinions of the
Republican voters of the county on this question.
We herewith append another resolution that
was adopted ct the Republican convention last
fall as follows:
Resolved, THAT We, as Republicans, ought not
to honor in convention any person whose adher-
ence to the principles OF our party is Question
able
We respectfully urge upon all Republicans the
duty and Importance of attending the primary
and especially consider the Crawford
county system of nominating candidates for coun-
ty ofhces. j. NJ HODGE, Chairman.
