REPUBLICAN COUNTY CONVENTION.
A Large and Harmonious Gathering of the
Fighting Republicans of Allen
County.
A Strong Ticket Nominated

The call provided for 10l delegates,
and they were all there. There were
enough of the old wheel horses scat
tered through all the delegations to
insure things running smoothly, but
there were also a lot of "the boys" as
the list of delegates will show, who
were taking their first plunge. All
the nominations were made by the
people at the polls except those for
District Clerk and superintendent,
and these were warmly but good
naturally fought out in the conven-
ton. There was not a sharp or bitter
word spoken at any time, and the con-
ventiOn closed, as it had begun, in the
most perfect harmony and with three
cheers for the ticket that is certain to
be elected.
The convention was called to order
at 1:15 p. m, by r. B. Stevenson,
chairman of the county committee.

A FULL report of the trouble at the
Carnegie Steel Mills, Homestead,
Pa, will be found ON the inside pages
os this paper. Since those pages
were printed the entire available mi
litia force of Pennsylyania, 5000 troops
in all, has been called out and are now
in quiet possession of the town of
Homestead. The fight last week
which resulted in so many deaths,
was most deplOrable, and it seems
to us unnecessary, affair. 1t was the
direct result of the employment of the
Pinkertons, which has always seemed
to us lawless outrage. If the Car
negie Company were forcibly kept out
of the possession of their property,
they had right to demand restOra-
ton and protection from the sheriff;
and if his posse proved too weak, the
State troops were available; and if
they also failed, the whole army of
the United States could have been
properly called upon by the Company.
But the Company had no right, moral
Or legal, to hire an army of its own.
AS to the merits of the dispute be-
tween the Company and the work.
men, we are perhaps too far away to
judge fairly. The free trade papers
are, of course, glOating over the whole
affair, as furnishing an illustration of
the "iniquity" of the Mckinley Act.
AS the Mckinley Act reduced the
tariff on the iron and steel which this
mill manufactures, it is hard to tell
exactly what point the free traders
expect to make. by holding the act
responsible for the attempted reduc-
ton in wages. And if the present
duty is responsible for the reduction
in wages, it is difficult to see how
lower duty or no duty at all would re-
suit i'm raising wages. But tho effort
of the free traders to make it appear
that it is a question of starvation"
wages is the silliest of all. The work.
men in these mills have been getting
from $40 to S275 per month. The
men who are asked to accept lower
wages have been getting S14.66 a day
a day, notice, not week or a.mOnth
and they are asked to submit to a re-
ductiOn of II per cent. We don't
know whether the profits of the mill
owners are SO small as to justify them
in asking this reduction or not. But
it is certainly clear that the people
generally cannot be made to grow very
indignant over the starvation wages"
of man who is getting $1,000 a day.

THE TICKET
1t is a winning ticket.

1t is winning ticket.
The denomination of Mr.. Pearson
for Representative has been consider
ed a matter of course, and while Mr..
Nelson made a surprisingly strong
race, considering the fact that his can
didacy had no public announcement
and was decided upon even by him.
self but "a hours before the primaries
were held, yet Mr.. PearsOn's majority
was large enough to demonstrate the
hold he had on the people. He made
an excellent record during his first
term as careful and conservative leg
islatOr, and the experience he gained
will of course increase his usefulness
during the second term, TO which he
is sure to be elected.
The fact that Judge Arnold carried
every precinct in the county against
so worthy citizen as ]. r. Crigler is
proof conclusive that the people are
satisfied with the administration of
the affairs of the Probate Judges of
flee. The officer whose duty it is to
look after the estates of those who pass
away, and to guard the interests of
the widow and orphan should be a
man of large heart and well regulated
head. And when such a man is once
put in the office he should be kept
there. J. L. Arnold is i'm the office
and the people are keeping him there.
The nomination of Capt. Slower for
county Attorney assures the county
the services of a careful and well-read
lawyer, and a safe and judicious bus
mess adviser. Mr.. Stover's familiar
ity with all the qualifications of the
county's affairs is doubtless unequal
led by that of any other citizen of the
county, while his energy and good
judgment, will insure US a safe, clean
and effective administration of this
important office.
The most spirited contest of the con-
ventiOn was over the office of District
Clerk, but it was entirely a good ma
tured contest from start to finish, the
only reason that it was so protracted
being the difficulty experienced by
the delegates in making a choice
among so many good men. The NOM
inatiOn of Frank l.. Travis gives the
crown to one in every way worthy to |
wear it,-a young man of excellent |
ability. of great energy and of COM
ambitions, who will make |
a first class officer in every respect.
In the nomination of Superintend-
ent, as in that of clerk, the only en-
barrassment of the convention was to
choose between good men. The NOM
nation of Mr. H. H. Jones assures to
the schools of the county the most
and conscientious work
and the most modern and advanced
1t is pretty tough ON any
body to ask him to follow such man
The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1892-07-15

as Ed. Barber, who never had sense
enough to know when to quit work
and sleep or rest. But Jones will
come as near doing the work of the
superintendent office as it ought to
be done as any one who could have
been chosen.
In nominating +. ID. Lacey, of Mar
maton, for Commissioner, the Third
District fittingly rounded up a re-
markably strong and well balanced
ticket. Mr.. Lacey's service of two
terms i'm the Legislature gave him an
acquaintance with the people of Allen
county that makes an introduction
now unnecessary. The people are al
ready acquainted with him. They
know him to be successful farmer,
an experienced business man, and a
man of fine Judgment and of inflexible
back bone, and they will elect him by
an almost unanimous vote.
The ticket is good one. 1t is well
distributed, there being one candidate
from Salem, two from lola, one from
Elm, one from Usage and one from
MarmatOn. Every man named is
abundantly qualified to perform the
duties of the office to which he aspires,
and every mans record, personal and
official, is straight and clean. 1t is a
ticket that every electOr in Allen
county might be proud to support. 1t
is ticket that will be triumphantly
elected.

ering that no complaint had been
heard against Mr.. Pearson and that
his denomination according to custom
had been conceded, the strength
shown by Mr.. Nelson on less than "a
hours notice was phenomenal, and he
may feel well flattered. Charlie Mel
son will be a good man to watch here
after. While an old resident of the
county, J. q. Roberts was new to
county politics. The people knew
that he had had but little experience
in the law and that he was a candi-
date for an office in which he would
be pitted against old and skilled at
tOrneys. They knew also that his
competitors were old practitioners and
MEN of wide business experience as
well as of much legal learning. And
yet he failed of the nomination by only
a hairs breadth. 1t was splendid
endorsement and Mr.. Roberts has a
right to be proud of it.

were instructed in his favor. COnsid-
