last Tuesday, nearly all the townships
being represented In spite Of the I'M
pleasant weather. The committee
was organized by the election Of H.
A. Ewing, Chairman, C. F. Scott.
secretary, and VIM. Cunningham,
treasurer. The name of Capt. g. De-
Witt was proposed as candidate for the
Office Of Surveyor, to ill the vacancy
caused by the death of A. o. Chris
tian, and he was unanimously chosen
to that position. On motion 1t was
decided to select an executive commit
tee of five of which Capt. Ewing
should be chairman with power to ap-
point four associates. The following
were then appointed TO ill out said
committee: J. Carl, L. B. Pear.
son, g. w. Moon and Chas. f. Scott,
This committee was authorized by
resolution to take charge of the busi-
ness of the campaign, rai'e funds, pro.
vide tickets etc. No further business
appearing, the committee then ad-
journed.
That is to say the meeting adjourn
ed. As for the members of the com.
mittee they remained a long time
talking together and reporting the
situation in their respective bailiwicks.
And mighty encouraging reports they
gave tol perfect satisfaction with the
ticket, Republicans harmonious, en-
thusiastic and confident Of victory,
Union Laborites Indifferent, hopeless,
expecting only defeat, Democrats
nowhere.

For 1t really seems as il the once
boastful and aggressive Democratic
party Of Allen county-the party that
gave Col. Jones and Col. Acres to an
eager world-had been lost in the
shuttle this fall. Look at Its ticket:
Union Labor head and Union Labor
tail with an aching void in the middle
where Jim Flynn crawled out, isn't it
a sight for gods and men to weep at?
Truly this poor crippled ticket might
cry out against its makers, a. did the
Duke. for sending it "de-
formed. unfinished, scarce half made
up" into this cruel world. Sic tram
sit gloria mundi; which means. being
The Allen county Demo-
cracy has lost its grip and is only In.
interested now in picking out soft
place to light. Requiescat.

The REGISTER desires to publish
next week the full Republican ticket
for each township in the county.
Township committeeman will confer
favor by sending US the names of their
nominees early In the week.

In it's write-up of the F. NJ. B. A.
Picnic at lola, the REGISTER last week
says that Mr.. Funston was called up
on. and made an extemporaneous
speech that was y ell received by the
audience, being entirely free from
and that Mr.. Power, the
candidate for treasurer,
followed with q political speech, In
which be scored Mr.. Funston severe.
IL: aud that Mr.. Funston replied with
q few words that left Mr.. Power in the
soup etc Now we have 1t from one of
the leading members of the F. M. B.
that it was Mr.. Funston who took ad-
vantage of the opportunity to do some
wire pulling and ring in something for
Funston. Also that Mr.. Powers
speech was the one that pleased the
crowd, who, 80 our informant stated
were glad to see our portly congress
man floating about In the SCULPTOR 1t
was he, and not Mr.. Power who took
the tumble.-Hunsboldt Herald.
As several hundred people heard the
little colloquy above referred to and
know that the REGISTER stated the
case exactly as it was, no refutation is
now necessary. When We fret read
the Herald's paragraph we were at
loss to account for this sudden zeal In
behalf Of an opposing (?l party. But
reading little further We came upon
the following item, which makes the
riddle plain.
F. NJ. Power orders the Herald 10
be sent to him at lola. We comply
with pleasure.
