The advices received from private
sources all over the state, coupled
with the published reports of the
proceedings OF republican county
conventions, justify the conclusion
that the state republican party is not
agreed within itself as to what Is the
best policy to pursne. The west and
northwest sections of the state are de-
cidedly i'm favor of Nugeut, If no
straight republican nominations are
made. The eastern aud northeastern
portion OF the state will give its re-
publican vote largely to Hogg, and
the same is true of the black belt,
provided there is no republican tick
et in the field. In the central and
southern sections of the state there
is strong tendency to throw the re-
publican vote for Clark, and in the
southwest he will receive the large
share of that vote, in case there is no
repu blican nomination made. These
being the facts in the case it is sui
cidal for the republicans to refuse
to put ticket in the field
with the expectation of defeat
ing Hogg, because the vote of the
party will not be cast for his oppo-
nent with sufficient unanimity to
elect. 1t is plain to the most ordinary
that If the republican
vote of the state is divided between
the three democratic factions of the
state with approximate equality it
will not effect the result, and for all
practical purposes in deciding the
state issues might as we'll remain
uncast. There IL no use of Expressing
the truth. and the aim of the repub-
lican party in Texas is to strengthen
itself first, after that TO do what
it can to the democratic
party. 1t cannot do either of these
things by surrendering it's organiza-
ton and distributing it's strength
among Its enemies, in the vain hope
that a majority of the votes thus
scattered will 60 to any one particular
Once the refusal to nomi.

and when the division takes place
Hogg is certain to secure the lion
share of the vote. There Is no honor
to republicansi in deserving the colors
in the face of the enemy, and in this
case 1t is defeating the very purpose
for which such desertion is advocated,
the defeat of Hogg. The true course
for republicans to follow is the
straight and narrow path of party
consistency. 1t is the only honorable
course, and the only one by which
the party in the state can be built
up. There are enough republicans
in this state to defeat any of the can
didates now before the people. If the
party will unite all it's forces, rally
round the colors of the party. perfect
organization everywhere, see that no
means are left unused to call out the
full party strength and wage an
aggressive campaign on the great is
sues of the national platform.

Peddling Ocu7ists and Opticians.

One of the most frequent things
related to Prof. Arnold is the
story told him by his callers OF
oculists and opticians calling on
them with cheap, common specta-
Giles and making a false pretense
of travelling that way to see the
country, or in search of health,
or for advertising or introducing
their goods, etc., etc. Put them
down as frauds and swindlers.
Genuine opticians do not peddle
from house to house and such, or
similar pretensions, are simply
schemes to get money from credu-
lous and unwary people. Prof.

Prof Arnold, who is at the

an enormous business. 1t affords
the Times pleasure to speak a
good word for the professor, for
during his stay in the city he has
shown himself to be a gentleman

conducts his business on a true

ly with all and charging moderate
prices for his goods. He is a
skilled optician and fully under
stands his business, and we know
OF several persons who went to
him with the idea that they need
ed glasses, but the professor posi-
lively refused to fit them for the
reason that they did not need
them. He has only to look at an
eye to tell what ails it, and if you
need glasses to fit them on. This
Is his first visit to Iowa, and as
he intends travelling over the west

heartily commencing him to the

PROF. ARNOLD, DEAR SIR:
After using the glasses you specially
corrected my vision with and carefully
testing them several weeks, l take great
pleasure in stating my opinion of their
superiority. There has been life
long necessity for glasses of enormous
power to correct my sight and enable
me to see and even then one eye was
so poor that l could not read ordinary
print with II, the best eye being closed.
You have not only improved my best
eye, so as to give normal or standard
vision; but have also made the other
equally good, SO that now l nave, IL
stead of one poor eye and OF epracic-
ally useless, two good eyes and see
equally well with both. l can but
wish you like success with others.

Residents of interior towns like
Red Wing seldom have the OPP.
portunty of securing the services

opportunity afforded has not been
lost. In fact, judging by the
enormous number calling ON Prof.
Arnold at the St. James, the citi-
zens of Red Wing and vicinity
are intelligent people. We say
this because it is an axiom that it

Busy at his office in the Mankato

Everyone wiz readily appreciate the
value of consulting scientific expert
who has devoted his life to the study
and practice of a peculiar science. To
be suited with glasses which remedy
the defects of vision and enables d
person to see well who saw but indis-
tinctly before is a blessing. Then it is
an exceedingly comfortable reflection
that your case has been carefully con-
sidered by an optician who brings to
his aid great experience and eminent
scientific knowledge and skill. He
has that devotion TO his profession
which prompts him to seek for and
avail himself of all Improvements which
the progress of scientific discovery has
brought to light. Thus prepared he is
able to meet and overcome difficulties
in the restoration of vision by the use
of means which few, if any, in his
profession can command. 10
