No MORE evil and heartless assault
has ever been made on any public of
ficer, than the reports of some Wash
ington scandal monger, has made on
the president concerning do
nestle trouble in the White House. Is
it not enough TO heap all the yileness
of free speech on a man, without cir
culating evil reports of his wife and
children Whatever may be said of
of Grover Cleveland, his family is not
the scape goat for his doings. With
faults and virtues, Mr.. Cleveland is
president OF the United States, and the
successor Of Washington and Lincoln,
elected by the people to that position,
and the respect which belongs to the
office, if no other feeling, should silence
all such reports as have passed from
paper to paper during the past two or
three weeks.

A GOOD SELECTION.

1t is but few weeks until the repub-
lican state convention and it is time to
fix on the best men to carry the party
banner in the coming campaign. The
republican party has every chance in
its favor and it is generally conceded
that the ticket, be the candidates who
they may, will be elected. But this be-
ing the case it will not do for the re-
publicans to go on the plan that any
body will do. The men selected must
be good men, men who will not only
carry their own vote, but who will win
votes. The greater majority, the more
glorious will be the victory, and the
more singing will be the rebuke to the
democratic policy.
With all the advantage on the repub-
lican side, too much assurance will be
dangerous to the best party interest.
The democrats will not cease from
working to win, and without the re
publicans make the strongest and best
nominations the democratic task will
be lightened. Republican gains can be
made everywhere, throughout the state
and good selections by the state con-
vention is the first step toward making
increased majorities.

THE COUNTY CONVENTION.

This week we publish the call for the
republican county convention, which
will be held on Friday June 22, for the
selection of delegates to the state con-
vention. This is republican year and
while it is scarcely necessary, we wish
to urge the Importance of attending
the several township caucuses and of
the delegates there selected, attending
the convention. 1t is true that the
convention comes in busy time but
as the state convention is called earlier
than usual, July II, the delegates must
also be selected little earlier. 1t is
hard for the farmer to drop work and
come to town to attend conventions,
but If you can come to town but one
day that week, arrange to come con-
vention day. There is enthusiasm in
numbers and we hope that every re-
publican in Audubon county, whether
he is delegate or not, will be at the
county convention.
Delegates will be selected for the
state, congressional and judicial con-
ventions. On these delegates depends
the naming of winning ticket, hence
the Importance of the coming conven-
ton. Again we urge the attendance
of republicans throughout the county.
Let all come out and get good start
for an enthusiastic, working campaign.

VIOLA township is entitled to one,
and probably to two, more delegates to
the county convention than the vote
allows them. Last fall a number of
Viola republicans failed to vote and the
result is that their representation IN
the convention will be smaller than
heretofore.

CHICKEN PIE AND WINE.
A Humorous Joke Gives Fame to a Smith
Vile HOstel'v.

A Humorous Joke Gives Fame to a Smith
vile HOstel'v.
The McAfee House, OF Smithville, has
long been known by the travelling public.
1t was famous during the war, under the
elder McAfee. Hundreds of guests ate
at his popular tables every day. A great
dish with the elder McAfee during the
war was chicken pie. The public seemed
to like it. Soldiers all called for it..
They declared it to be the best pie on
earth. During this long and popular
management by the elder McAfee, his
son, the present proprietor, who was en-
gineer on the Southwestern railroad for
twelve years, observed what prodigOus
liking the public had for chicken pie.
So when he came into possession of the
hotel, he gave orders to keep up the good
old chicken pie schedule. SO everybody
for dinner, among other good things, are
served with chicken pie and scupper-
nong wine. The elder McAfee had a
large scuppernong vineyard which still
bears most luxuriantly. The boys on the
road, through sheer humor, declared
the ''chicken pie schedule was in the
will of the elder McAfee; and SO that
rumor got abroad, and few days ago
Mr.. McAfee received the following let
ter:
"New York City, Jan. 16, 1894.-Dear
Mr.. McAfee: In culling material on the
subject of interesting wills, l have learn
ed that you may be willing to furnish
me with the facts about one well known
in Smlthville. 1t is the last will and
testament under which you are said to
hold the McAfee house, which believe,
is the leadins hotel of Smithville. trust
you will be willing to write me the facts
about it; and assure YOU there will be
no publication of them which could
cause you regret. Is it true that you are
required by the will to serve chicken pie
and scuppernong wine every day for din
ner in your hotel? If so, / should like to
board there. 1 enclose stamped address
envelope, and hope to hear from you.
Very sincerely, JOHN PAUL BococK."
Mr.. McAfee celebrated his birthday on
Monday, the 10th. His dinner was su-
perb, but Mrs. McAfee, who enjoys this
rumor, did not omit from the splendid
menu the good old chicken pie and the
scuppernong wine.
