THE REPUBLICANS.
The Proceedings of the Convention Held
Yesterday.


Notwithstanding the publication. to the
effect that the Republicans would postpone
the convention that had been called to-
day, certain faction of the party
met at the courthouse to select del
ecates for the state convention. AT
2:30 the convention was called to order with
Capt. Shields in the chair. A committee
of five was appointed to name delegates to
the convention. The committee was COM
posed Of Judge Moore, DR.. Barter, DR.
Davis, Messrs. j. B. Burbridge
and ]. B. Swartz The committee
retired, and while it was absent
from the room several of the colored mem
bers RECALLED the convention with lauda-
tions of the party to which they belonged.
The committee at last returned, having
agreed upon the delegates.
There is a serious misunderstanding in
the ranks of the Republicans of this dis
trict. G.. w. Gillespie of this city was
appointed chairman of the executive COM
mittee of this district. This was against
the wishes of the county chairman, Col
Brownlee of Dallas being the choice of the
faction of which the said chairman IS a
lender They refuse to recognize Mr.. Gil
lespie, and'his wing of the party will proba-
bly, convene in few DAYS for the
election of delegates, The result Will
be two sets of delegates to the state con-
vention. The affairs of the grand old
party,' are in sadly minded state in this
district and the outcome of the present
dilemma will be watched with con.
siderable interest. The delegates chosen
were: Paul Washman, T. B. Burbridee.
DR.. Darter, Henry Swartz, N B. Moore,
DR.. Davis, J. D. Johnson. q. C. Brooks. n.

Texas for street lighting, but I will say.
however, that they have agreed to reduc-
ton of So per month on all lights used by
the railroad companies if they put in the
additional lights ordered. cannot say yet
as to just what steps will be taken to en-
force the ordinances in this matter. I had
hoped TO settle it without going into the
courts. The street crossings must be
lighted and that places the committee in 4
peculiar attitude. We cannot appear as the
representative of either the railroad COM
pany or the electric light company AS
stated before the price charged is extrava-
giant, TO say the leastn
''Have you estimated The cost of the con-
templated improvements
"Yes, and will say that if the plant now
owned and operated by the city was in the
hands of private individuals, the revenues
derived from it at prices charged by the
old company would yield a sufficient amount
to create sinking fund to take up bonds at
maturity and pay per cent interest on the
investment, and dividend of 20 per cent
per anuum on the capital stock There is
no doubt about this, as the records are open
and can be inspected by all 1t has proved
to be good investment for the taxpayers
There is no use in examining the records of
other cities to find out what to charge our
citizens for light We can ascertain what
it costs the city to PROCURE it, and that is
the price to be charged.

Important Announcement.

The week commencing August LIST,
1892, we will begin the publication of
a new sereal story, entitled, ''For God
and the Gar" will have special refer
ence to the treatment of the Jews in
Russia. Its hero will be fine type
of Jew, and its heroine of a Jewess,
and their experiences, adventures and
sufferings will form the main in
cidents of the serial. One special feat
ure must not be omitted. A graphic
and true description will be given of
one of the most extraordinary places
ON the face of the earth. We refer to
the terrible prison of Shakalin, still
ated far away on the northwest of the
Siberian coast, in a part of the North
Pacific altogether out of the track OF
navigation.
1t is possible that some readers may
object to the use of a title which, at
first sight may appear somewhat
irreverent; but it is selected because
it is the best description Of what the
story really is, viz: an account of the
methods of these in connection with
the Russian government, who are
never tired of stating that all they do
is done For God and the Gar"

The Summer School


The summer school which is now
coming to a close, will be long remem-
bered by many of cur citizens as a
social event. Aside from the general
vitality of the institution in behalf of
education, the influx of nearly 100
bright young ladies distributed among
our families for a month is a matter
of no small moment. The presence
of the instructors and teachers has
brought sunshine into many homes,
and the pleasant friendships formed
will long remain as a sweet aroma
with our people old and young.
Such friendships never fade while
memory endrues. The editor of this
paper wishes to express his appre-
citation of the friendships so formed
on this occasi IN, and would rejoice at
a renewal of them at some future
time.
While we can say this for the
people of Morris, we may also say we
have the assurance of a number of
our guests that the feeling is recipro-
cal, and that our Traverse, Grant and
Stevens county, friends carry
away with them pleasant memories
of Morris. May the motto of the in
structors be "docendo discimus."
