THE CONVENTION AND TICKET.
Nevada Representatives

a
The ticket is precisely what many
good republicans earnestly desired to,
see it. 1t is materially different from
what many other equally good republi-
cans would have ha it. In either case
it is the republican ticket, and 1t is en-
titled to the united and earnest support
of men never constituted an Iowa re-
publican ticket

Undoubtedly Cummins is a better man
than some of his loudest supporters,
and he should diligently and devout-
ly praying to be preserved from his fool
friends. Personally we have nothing
against him. Undeserving as he is he
will be elected, and he Will make good
governor. Not wishing to be a candi-
date for any office we shall not oppose
him.

The nominating, of A. b. Cummins is
received with much satisfaction In Car
roll county. The ticket headed by the
Des Moines gentleman will be unusually
strong in this county, stronger than any
other candidate would be. The east end
of the county, almost soidly republi-
can, favored Cummins for first choice,
and the temperance element Will not
hesitate to support him. In other parts
of the county the church temperance ell
ement will be slow to rally 10 Cummins
and it is hard to say what they will do
in the approaching campaign. But he
will gather to his support all who are
liberal in their politics and views of Ger
tain restrictive legislation.
IMontezuma Republican,
1t was magnificent gathering of the
republican hosts of the state The tick
ct is strong one from top to bottom.
1t will command the full strength of the
party. The speech of acceptance made
| by Mr.. Cummins is gem. 1t directly
meets many of the criticisms made
against him and is an honest, manly
| plea for the perpetation of republican
| principles and for a unity of action that
| will leave no doubt as to the result.

We believe it will be apparent before
the campaign has progressed far that
| Mr. Cummins will not be an innovator
nor encourager of radical changes in
| the established policy of the republican
party Mr.. Cummins' course will be
| conciliatory, as has been amply evil
denced by his speeches, and he will ain
to stand as the representative Of his
whole party In all matters of important
legislation. In the give and take of po-
/ litical contests individual and comaoin.
atoms of individuals win and lose. But
| when the contest is over and the worl
is done and the pubic judgment is ap.
l pealed to, it becomes unimportant wha

So far as personal preference goe'
we should have been better suited hat
either Hartman or Herriott been sue
cesaful, for the sole and only reason
that we honestly believe the selection o
either would have proven better for TIN
party-whose interests and welfare vi
4 regard as paramount to those of any in
dividual member thereof. But the de
cision has been otherwise and as re
publican there is but one thing to do
fall into line and do our best toWar'
making Mr.. Cummins' victory at tn
polls as emphatic as 1t was in the con
vention.

The people generally love fair play
!. Mr.. Cummins. who heads the ticket wa
told by the machine that they woul
pound him in the ground" should h
make race for the nomination. Lik
|. a knight of old he accepted the chal
lenge to battle, and by fair means an
excellent generalship won the battle
and the would-be Founders were hoiste

vincible.
