OBITUARY

Died at the residence of her son,
George X. Bunnell, at lola, Kansas,
Mrs. Nancy Harmon Bunnell, in the
18th year of her age. She was the
youngest of twelve children. only one
of which remains, DR.. Joseph Har-
mon, of Blue Island, Iii. She came
of good old revolutionary stock, two
of her uncles being in the war for the
independence of the United States,
one of whom was killed during that
war. On her mothers side she was
descended from The early Dutch Set
tiers of Long Island, n. Y. Of the
graces, gentleness, kindness, and
those wOmanly ways that make a
woman dear to men and women both,
Mrs. Bunnel had a full share. No
one ever knew her that did not come
to love her. For 55 years the writer
hereof has known her and during all
that time she was always the same
gentle, loving and lOvable woman, a
christian whose daily life was an
earnest of the daily preparation for
the life to come. She was constant
member of the Baptist church for "a
years. She was q sister to the moth
er of l.. b. Pearson, who died years
ago. l.. B. p.

THE FIRST ONE A HUMMER.

The first Republican meeting of the
campaign was held at Prairie View
school house, East Cottage Grove,
last Friday evening, and if it is fair
sample of the meetings we are to have
this year, the campaign will be the
liveliest ever held in Allen county.
The people of that district have just
completed 3 fine new school house,
and in spite of the fact that it rained
all the forenoon. the hOu1e was
packed in the evening, and a great
many were unable to get inside the
doors. And it was apparent that the
people had come 10 listen to sober
sense and not in the hope of being
entertained by jokes and stories, for
they listened for two hours without
any signs of lack of interest to argu-
ments that made no effort to be witty,
but that did try to speak truth and
logic. 1t is an uncommon thing in
deed for the people to turn out in
such numbers and display such
enthusiasm at a political meeting held
in the riddle of July. 1t certainly
means that they are ready for a
campaign of education,-andt that
means that the Republican party
will win.

THE SENATORIAL CONVENTION.

THE SENATORIAL CONVENTION.
The committee having the matter
i'm charge has called the Senatorial
convention for this district to meet in
lola August 4th, at O'Clock for the
purpose of placing in nomination a
Repu blican candidate for the office of
State Senator. AS the only candidate
spoken of for the place is Hon. g. H.
Lamb, of Yates Center, his nomination
will doubtless be made by acclama-
tons deserved tribute to a christian
gentleman, Republican without
variableness or shadow of turning, and
speaker of uncommon ability. Ii
was originally intended to hold this
convention i'm Yates Center. but the
change was made in order that the
delegates might have the opportunity
of hearing the address uf Senator
Baker.

ATTEND THE PEIMARIEs.

Primaries forthe election of delegates
to the county convention, and for the
expression of choice among the var
ieus candidates. are to be held all
over the county tomorrow, and we
hope that every Republican in the
county will attend in his proper
precinct and exercise the privilege
that is thus given him of helping to
determine who shall compose the
ticket that is to win in the coming
election. We have lot of good men
to choose from so that mistake will
be hard to make But the larger the
vote at the primaries the more
satisfactory the result will be.
And special care should be taken
also to send men of the soundest
Judgment and the most answering
Republicanism as delegates to the
convention. 1t is entirely likely that
candidates for all the places on the
county ticket may not be chosen at
the primaries, and in that event the
convention will have to make the
choice. Delegates are to be select
ed also to the State convention, and
this should be done with prudence
and care. Other matters of great
moment to the party are likely to
come up, and they should go before
men whose political judgment is good,
and whose Repuplicanism is stalwart
and unwavering. This is year
when We must make no mistakes, and
for that reason our county convention
ought to be made up of the most
trusted and experienced leaders.

w. C. T. U. MEETING.

An interesting and profitable meet
ing of the w. G. 7. U, was held last
Friday at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
N. Hawkins. After the regular bust
ness of the Union was disposed of,
Mrs. Norris, of Kansas City, gave a
short but earnest talk to the Union
concerning some evils which are more
apparent to those living in the larger
cities, soliciting our sympathy and
aid. The Union then dissolved itself
into q social. Refreshments were
served, the day was delightfully."- cool
and everything done to make this q
pleasant occasion. One new member
was received. The guests of the Un-
ion present were Mesdames Norris,
Brewster, Root, Butler, SOfge, Wish
ard, Port, King, Patterson, MCGEE
and Misses COwan, Keiser and Thay-
er. A cordial invitation is always
extended to our friends to attend our
meetings. The annual meeting for
the election of officers will be held
next Friday Aug. 9TH at p. m. in
the Presbyterian church. Let every
member of the Union make an extra
effort to be present as the success Of
the year depends largely on what is
done at his meeting.

THE PoPUL1sr CONVENTION.

On another page of the REGISTER
will be found q brief report of the
proceedings of the POpulist national
convention, with the platform in full.
The report records all the business
transacted by the convention, but it
conveys little idea of the unparalleled
bitterness and violence and deception
and trickery that accompanied the
transaction of this business. With
the possible exception of the Demo-
cratic convention in 1860 nothing like
It was ever before witnessed in Amer
lean politics. Delegates on the very
floor of the convention charged one
another with having taken brides and
with treason to the party. The police
were repeatedly called in to restore
order. Angry men shouted curses at
the top of their voices and again and
again came to blows. And the con-
vention was finally adjourned in the
midst of indescribable chaos and
confusion, with the delegates from
four states violently protesting
against the trickery and fraud and
coercion that had been practiced
against them. 1t was indeed fitting
climax in the career of party that
for six years has been teaching the
doctrines of suspicion and class ha-
tired and sectional antagonism and
revolution.
AS to the ticket: The Democratic
candidate was nominated for presi-
dent in the face of his declaration that
he could not accept a nomination on
any other than a Democratic plat
form. And tor his running mate was
chosen Tom Watson, of Georgia, a
man who made personal charges
against eminent men which a con-
gressiOnal committee, one of whom
was Jerry Simpson, unanimously de-
clared were utterly untrue; who as a
candidate for congress made cam
paign in which he arrayed the cOun-
try against the towns so bitterly that
during sever Il weeks there was daily
danger of riot; who himself during
the campaign never appeared in pub
lie unless armed with rifle; who, in
short, is reckless, irresponsible and
dangerous agitator. With such a
ticket-the head of it stolen from an
other party, the tail of it representing
nothing but the most senseless and
violent opposition to everything that
now is-the Peoples party goes into
the campaign with every claim to the
respect, to say nothing of the support,
of the American people already for
feited.
AS to the platform 1t is ancient
and faded and colorless, every sem
tence constructed with the evident
intent of giving as little offence to
Democrats as pOssible-a faint remi-
niscence of the Omaha platform of 1872
and feeble echo of the Chicago plat
form of '96. But with no candidate
in the field pledged to carry it out
even if he should be elected, what
difference does it make what the
platform is?
The woman delegate who shrieked
to the frenzied mob calling itself the
Populist national convention that
there is no middle-of-the-road." told
the truth. There are but two national
parties in this campaign, the Repub-
lican and Democratic. There are but
two men-McKinley and Bryan.
Choose ye!
