THE SPRING ELECTIONS.
Only Good Men should be Nominated at
the Caucus.

AS the time approaches for selecting
men to the various village and township
offices, it may be we'll to remark that
under our peculiar system, the caucus IL
Ofvital Importance. Too many good citi-
zens are prone to overlook this point,
and often from trivial reasons, are kept
away from the caucus Of their party,
and thus, when too late, are found un-
justly critizing the nominees. This is
wrong. 1t is the duty of every voter to
be at the primary meeting Of his party,
and TO use his influence to place in NOM
ination for the various offices the very
best men that party affords. This is NOT
merely good politics; 1t is also good bus
iness. Those nominees, II elected, are
to transact the business Of the cOmmuni-
ty, and they are each and all bound by
solemn oath to transact that business To
the best of their ability with the good Of
the people in view. Hence it is impOrtant
to nominate and elect to Office such mel
as have conscientious regard for tht
sanctity of an oath and such and sucl
only, can be detsEid upon toperforn
their whole duty to the people, without
fear or favor in any emergency. Let al
voters attend the caucus, or otherwise
stand from under when something falls
later on.
