THE CONVENTION AND TICKET.
TToledo Chronicle

Toledo Chronicle.l
The republican ticket nominated at
Cedar Rapids is as strong as the party
has nominated in years. 1t is strong in
that the people took a hand in the maxi
ing and the nominees are of their choos-
ing. The nominee for governor is a man
of unquestioned ability who will in no
wise lower the standard of the chief Of
flee of the state, and his associates will
likewise fill the positions to which they,
have been nominated.
[Audubon Republican,
We have no regrets for our course in
the recent Cummins and anti-Cummins
campaign. Honestly preferring some
one else than the brilliant Des Moines
lawyer we opposed him in every way
we could, but tried to do SO without Civ
ing offense to those who thought differ
entity. Now that Mr.. Cummins is nomi-
mated we shall support him as Loyalty
and as strongly as our abilities will al
low. He is the party's candidate now
and we recognize the right of majority
rules within the party. The principles
and the tendencies of the republican
party are, in our opinion, so vastly SUI
perior to those of the democratic party
that we can do nothing else but support
him.

A business man in town whom you all
know very well said one day that the
editor of the R-N. rode the goat at Ce-
dar Rapids" What of it? 1t way a
Cummins goat, anyway and a mighty
jolly goat it was. A great deal would
have been missed had one failed to have
been on hand to see the clashing of the
Hubbard and Cummins' goats. We
simply kept pace with the rest and
yelled till we got hoarse and quit.

at Cedar Rapids last week, and on the
inside page is more complete report of
the convention than we We're able to
give in our las, issue, with excellent
portraits of the candidates for governor,

railroad commissioner. While the result
is a complete victory for the Cummins
faction. the action of the convention
makes them the candidates of the whole
party, and as such they will receive the
HEARTY support of all the republican ele-
| ments.
