delegates, from the masses Of the peo.
pie. They are going TO confer together
aud put upa Union ticket OF clean
men on a plain reform platform.
There is general desire that a full
county ticket be put up If a Union
platform can be agreed upon. IL must
De an Union from principle, not for
Office.
The Union party will succeed il it
follows these lines aud gives the peo.
ole ticket and platform that any
patriotic American citizen can vote
.ud know that it means business for
the taxpayers, fairness and equal rights
TO all, special faYors 10 none.
The Otlice.holding aristocracy, ,polit-
ical cranks and bOodlers will oppose
the union. Honest people regardless
of past party afiiliation, who believe
in progress and justice and principle,
are going TO support a Union ticket
in county and atate affairs, If it is put
up by the people and responsible to
the people.

A PEOPLES VICTORY.

The result Of the school election is
notsa victory over the Republican
party nor triumph for free silver.
1t was simply a citizens election for
the choice OF two school directors and
the citizens candidates we're chosen
II was a rebuke to bossism. For both
the Republican chairmen TO become
candidates was unfortunate. 1t was
in bad taste. Mr.. Davis was i'll ad-
vlsed, and Mr.. Bingham after he had
started would not quit.
The directors chosen will be found
faithful men. They are not hamp-
cred by any partisan interest to pro-
tect aud will be free to carry out all
the desired reforms promised by their
opponents. No two school officers
ever went into Office more free to give
the people good schools than Byrd
and Chamberlin. Their large vote
came from all parties. They we're
dominated by the people, elected by
the people aud we believe they will
administer their sacred trust justly,
fairly and honestly.

Prof. Iory's "Must -

EDITOR JoURNAL:-I take the pri-
vilege of making a suggestion in re-
gard to Prof. Jory's plan of Union.
He has some good ideas, but really the
word must" occurs too often to
make it acceptable even to our own
party. We are not school children, to
whom IL is necessary or advisable to
say must" upon every occasion, but
as mature men we ought to each give
his neighbor credit with having some
degree Of sense and Judgment. The
old Republican BASES use the word
"must" upon every occasion, and
that is one of the things that is rele-
cation it to the rear. Let us have a
union with the other silver forces If
our convention deems it advisable,
but not upon the "must" plan.
