Laporte WAS selected Tor the place to
! hold the convention. liking the time,
Tuesday, April 5, and the primaries to
be held on the preceding Sa,urday, A pril
:, 1898. AZ the time necessary to hold
the convention to name delegate and
conterees was considered too long q period
before election day to keep candidates
boiling in the political po, and the politi
cal situation liable to q change it was
recommended that the convention, on the
5th,after naming its delegate and cor
Ierees be adjourned until later date Ia
name its local ticket.
At present no Republican has loomed
above the Morrison for nomination Of
any kind, but all seem enlisted 10 make
the next campaign q Gettysburg ot Sulli-
van county politics of official proprietor
ship as of old. For three years past the
Republican forces of the county have
been in excellent trim and have won
glorious victories by appealing to the
good Judgment of an intelligent people.
Let us hope that this magnificent situation
will be maintained and that all the party
workers will become more strongly united
and solidiied for an egressive warfare on
the common enemy and that they go
forth in battle with determination and the
utmost confidence that victory will be
perched upon the Republican banner
again this commng fall.
