JUST at this particular time we
think few remarks upon the
question Of kind of convention we'
should have in this county this fall
will be timely. We happen to know
that number of the best republicans
favor the Crawford county or primary
plan. At the same time there are
perhaps as many and as good repub-
licans who believe it is in the best in
terest of the party and of all concern
ed that we have the delegate plan.
Both have been tried in this county
and neither has given universal salts
faction. 1t is safe to assume that
some will be disappointed this fall
no difference which system is adopted
We believe that the advocates on
either side are honest in their Opin-
ions and we will admit the perfect
right of either to talk and work for
what they think is best. We have
our own ideas and believe we are en-
titled to express them, if we so DESIRE
but it is not our intention to use this
paper for the purpose of prOmulgat-
ing them, nor the purpose of trying
to influence the central committee
when they shall meet next Saturday
to decide this question; and when
they do SO decide, we will accept their
judgment without a murmur, no diff
ference whether we approve of their
action or not. At this present time
we have no idea what the committee
will do. We have not talked with
any of them and only know how two or
three of them feel on this proposition
and have only acquired this informal
tion accidentally and from hearsay.
AS before stated it is not our inten-
tiOn to discuss the ACCESSIBILITY of
are inclined to the opinion that there
is entirely too much feeling over this
matter, and if halt is not soon called
it will result in great, if not irrepara-
BILE injury to the party. No man has
a right to insist upon any method,
unless principle is involved, and, if
the majority decide otherwise, refuse
to participate. We are talking to re-
publicans now-thoSe who are repub-
licans because they believe that the
principles Of that party are more near
ly in accord with their own than those
Of any other political party. In other
words to those who are republicans
because they believe republicanism is
right rather than to those who are
republicans only for their own selfish
ACKNOWLEDGMENT and for what they can
realize out of the party by way of
offices and other emoluments. This
latter class can never be depended
upon unless everything goes their
way. If it does not they sulk and
perhaps assist the enemy. 1t is an
easy matter to support the ticket
when the nominees are all your choice,
but when the people choose and your
nominee fails to grasp the coveted
prize; then is the test of good re-
publican. He will submit to the ma
jority and on election day will be
found fighting for the ticket just the
same. He is what he is from princi-
pie. We believe in the right of every
man to work for any kind of a conyen-
tion he desires and to support for a
nomination the man of his choice.
This is an inalienable right. But
when the majority decide, he should

Commissioners Pointed Com
msntS on patriotism
and Pensions"
Men Who Saw the Least Serv-
ice Make the NoiSieSt
Claimants.
Increase of Pensioners During
the Year Less Than a
Thousand.

WASHINGTON, Oct. II. - Commits
sioner William l.. Lochren of the pen
sion office in his annual report makes
several pointed suggestions. Under the
head patriotism and Pensions he
says:
"Those men who enlisted early and
fought the battles of the war were not
moved by mercenary considerations,
and unless actually disabled did not
show the haste in applying for pen
sions manifested by those who enlisted
near the close of the war for large
bounties and did little actual service,
and who are now the noisiest in declar-
ing for more pensions. As compared
with this latter class the real soldiers OK
the war have been modest in preferring
claims for pensions
Would Bar D~isreputable Attorneys.
The commissioner says that many dis
reputable and incompetent men are Ell.
gagged as pension attorneys and suggests
that none but reputable members Of the
bar be allowed to practice i'll pension
cases.
The report shows hat the number Of
pensioners Jan. 30, 1894, was 800, 544;
new pensioners added during the year,
80, 1S5; dropped pensioners restored,
4,206; deaths during the year, 29,8l6;
dropped from other causes, 14,575; max
ing a net increase Of pensioners during
the year of $50. Pension claims al
lowed during the year, 80, 1856; rejected.

AS SMuGGLERS,
Well known Residents of bayfield,, Wis,
Said to BE Implicated.


BAYFIELD,, Wis, Oct. 31.-A Snug
Cling conspiracy has been unearthed
here, but owing to the fact that the
guilty parties were in some way given
a tip, 10 arrests have been made as yet.
Evidence has been secured, however,
which duplicates several well known
people, and special eyenu officers arc
at work on the case. Whisky and
opium to the value of thousands of dol
lars, it is said, have been smuggled into
Bayfield, from Canada during the past
year, and from here shipped to other
ports, mainly along the lake. This
smuggling has been done b. alleged
fishermen and the charge is now made
that back of the scheme is a company
composed of highly respectable mer-
chants.
