1t is no more than right and proper
to state that Mr.. Dayton did not wish
or desire any one to make any con-
test in this county against Mr.. Pit
ger. Among Republicans there is
such thing as observing the propri-
cites of such a situation. Mr.. Pitzer
has the unanimous Endorsement OF
this, his home county, and Mr.. Day
ton likewise has the unanimous in
dorsement of Barbour, his home
county. No matter which is nomi-
mated he expects and is entitled to
the support of the other and will re-
ceive it. The course pursued leaves
no sores, no wounds to heal. OF
course each and all of the candidates
hope to win the nomination. That
is impossible. The election of Re-
publican is paramount. The Herald
has been neutral in this preliminary
contest and long since informed Mr..
Pitzer and Mr.. Dayton that such
should be our course. After the con-
vention is held, we shall support the
nominee with all our power, and re-
ioice when he is elected.

SELFISH or SILLY.

A two.liue paragraph in the pro-
ceedings of the Republican convention
held here last Saturday, as reported
in the World, which we presume is
official, no report having been fur
nished us, reads
Upon motion the proceedings OF
this convention are ordered pup
lished.
Whether the mover OF the motion
intended it as thrust at the Herald
and Independent we do not know
bnt we do care. It could scarcely
have been ignorance because the GUS
tom has been to order the publication
of the proceedings of all conventions
in both journals. Occasionally the
the World is included
After the firm Devotion to party
principles which has marked the
course of the Independent and Herald
since they have had an existence,
after they have fought the light and
made this Republican county, en-
abling a NUMBER of the participants
in the convention to hold positions OF
emolument and trust and attain polit-
ical prominence, such a proceeding is
nothing more than selfish or silly.
There was not Republican in that
convention whom the Herald would
refuse to support were he nominated
for an Office and render that support,
as we have in the past without reward
or even the hope of reward. The In
dependent has done so and would do
likewise.
We wish to state furthermore that
the Republican newspapers OF this
CITY have made more and greater sac
rifces for their party than any others
in the State. Again, they have more
astute and formidable political foes
with which to contend and do not APP
preciate being Disseminated against
politically, if we are compelled to
submit to discrimination in business
matters. And more, we want it dis
tinctly understood that in the future
we shall resent lin our own way)
many indignities which have hereto
fore been overlooked.

The Statesman thinks strange be-
cause the editor Of the Herald was
not in attendance at the Republican
convention last Saturday. In the
first place our duties demanded that
we should be elsewhere; and secondly,
we some months since announced

tend the Congressional convention.
These reasons should satiate the curl
osity Of our neighbor.
