ALITTLE CRITICISM

Editor REGISTER: Your suggestion
that at future Republican conventions
some of the delegates should be young
men, is good suggestion. Year af-
ter year we send about the same old
gang to our conventions, that is what
gives color to the charge that the par
ty is run by few men. l learn that
in one or two townships there was an
effort made to send some young men
but the old fogies voted them down.
In the future let each township send
at least one or two young men-or
new men-to the county convention
and see if the change wont be for the
better.
Now Mr.. Editor, allow me to in
dulge in little criticism of the late
Republican county convention: There
was a committee of one from each
township appointed to suggest to
the convention the names of nine del
egates to each of the two State and
two district conventions. Now you
will notice that that committee was
so very modest they only suggested
nine of there own number. Why did
they leave out the other three? But
to compensate for that they suggested
the man from Carlyle twice. Is he
the only Republican in Carlyle who
has the proper qualifications" for a
delegate? How is that Carlyle, any
way? There are others that are del
egates to two of the conventions and
one man is a delegate to three. He is
a good fellow but the convention
ought to have recollected the old
adage "Too much of good thing is
about as bad as none" Now l am
aware it is somewhat difficult to get
a man to agree to attend these con-
ventions for it was suggested to the
writer of this that he agree to go as a
delegate but ne had to decline on ac-
count of not having the time or money
to spare and doubtless many others
were in the same condition. But it
does seem to me that there could have
been enough Republicans found in AL
len county to send to those conven-
tions without sending the same man
to different ones. The way it is it
looks too much like a few men run
ming all the conventions.
Then the resolutions; aren't they
daisies? The convention resolves that
they still adhere to the Republican
party and that they endorse Harrison,
Funston and Barber and that is all.
The convention by its acts says it is
not best for the common people to ex-
press an opinion on public questions,
but wait till the State and National
conventions formulate a platform of
principles and let the people endorse
that. But that is not my way of
thinking. Let the people in their
smaller conventions express their
opinions on public questions and then
the larger conventions take their cue
from them. The Republicans of Allen
county have opinions on public ques-
tions, on the tariff question, on the
currency, on the silver question, on
the income tax question, on the pro-
hibition question.
Now Mr.. Editor, it is my humble
opinion that every county convention
in the land ought to express an opin-
ion on the above questions for they are
living issues. Now don't cry "calam-
ity bowler" at me for the Republicans
passed an income tax law in war
times, and it was in an evil hour that
they repealed it. REPUBLICAN.

Obituary..

On the evening of Saturday. April
18th, Inez Ethel Cullen, the infant
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. G.. f. Gull
len, was gathered to rest. She was
nearly two years old when she died,
and had, by her sweet ways and quiet
manner, endeared herself not only to
parents, sister and brothers, but to all
who knew her. She was of a very
sweet confiding nature, always at
tracing attention wherever she went,
because of her winning ways.
The funeral services were held at
the residence of her parents and the
little remains were laid to rest in the
Dewitt cemetery. The bereaved fam
lily sadly miss the little one, but look
forward with great joy to the happy
reunion i'm the Home above.

FRIDAY. APRIL %, 1892
OUR CAMPAIGN OFFER

We will send the REGISTER to any
address in Alien county from June l,
to November 10 for 80 cents, cash in
advance.
This period will cover the entire
time of what promises to be. the most
exciting campaign that has been wag-
ed since the war. During these five
months at least three and probably
four presidential tickets, and all the
county. State and COagI essional tick
cts will be nominated, innumerable
meetings will be held aud innumer-
able speeches made. Every intelli-
gent and patriotic American should
keep himself fully informed concern
ing all these things, and the REGIs-
TER believes it can promise all those
who read it carefully that they will
be thus informed. The news columns
of this paper will report fully and inn
partially the nominating conventions
and all the meetings in which its
readers are specially Interested of all
the parties, while its editorial columns
will discuss, from Republican stand
point, but with candor, courtesy and
truth, all the issues that are placed
before the people. The REGISTER
has always been conducted on the
principle that one recruit was better
than ten victims, and that policy will
control it during the coming cam
paign. Fully recognizing the royal
American right of every man to his
opinion, it will present its own views
in such way as 10 persuade if posi-
BILE, but not to offend or insult. For
these reasons we hope, and expect,
that this liberal offer will place upon
our books the names o: every really
honest and intelligent Peoples party
man and Democrat in the county.
The best citizen is he who reads the
other side as well as his OWE side, and
then makes his ballot the expression
of his Judgment and his conscience.
Republicans who are already TAX
ing the REGISTER will know whether
or not in tlteir Judgment the enlarged
circulation of this paper would be
likely to strengthen the Republican
party and make our victory next fall
the more certain. If they are of the
opinion that it will, then they can dc
no more effective campaign work than
to assist in getting subscribers for it.
We doubt if there is 4 single subscrib-
er in the county who could not secure
u ltdSb OllC OlICi SuAoNtAbNA VII NAAN
terms of this offer before the first OF
June. If all should do this our list
would be doubled and the effect
would be seen, we believe, when the
votes are counted out next November.
So as a service to the party, as well
as personal favor, we trust that our
Republican friends will make this Of
fer known to their neighbOrs. 1t
would please us greatly if our list
could he doubled by the first OF June.
In consideration of our great reduc-
ton from our regular rates, the neces-
sity of requiring payment in advance
will be readily appreciated.
