OF sect'o" and not party, Init ha
"Logan Garg" had so lined up
its forces that the west side only
received six votes for it's candid
Iate, from Logan and the entire
east side of the county. We had
expected better treatment from a
portion OF the county, but it is al
ways better to have the truth late
than never and to know our friends.
The most extraordinary action Of
all WAS to see the men who had. bv
resolution, condemned the action
of Gilmore and Hall for changing
1.-THE mannernf electing them, and
pledging return to the District
System, nominate the very men
who changed the Law! This is to
"hate the TREASON but love the trai.
tor A. j Gilmore was nomina-
ted by vole of 81 to 40 or ID maj.
Hall was then placed in nomina-
ton, but the west side Except
Clay delegates declined to vote,
aud therefore he was declared the
nomiIee.
At this juncture the candidates
for auditor and clerk declined their
nomination, while the nominee for
Recorder not being present his ac-
ton in the matter is not known.
The action of the convention
demonstrated clearly that Logan,
without regard to party, together
with the east side of the county
are united against ever interest of
he west side, and by the late ac-
ton OF the convention have served
notice that no man who does not
wear the Logan collar need apply,
and the Democratic party, by it's
own action, have driven from the
field its candidates and leaves the
party unorganized in the county,
and will now only be aquestion of
section. Its Logan and the east
against Missouri Valley and the
west side. and now our hope is in
the action of the county republican
convention soon to meet to select
. ticket of good men for whom we
can vote. We of the Valley and
the west side have not desired this
sectional strife, but have always
been loyal to the candidates of all
parties without regard to locality,
but when we SEQ that the "Logan
Gang" can force upon us candid
ates we do not wish, men of putty
to he worked in their interest, then
it becomes our duty to accept the
issue like men, and look to our
friends for justice, ignoring, for
the time being, all party or perso-
nal consideration, throwing our
banner to the breeze, inscribed
with "no utilization with the enc
mics OF our country.
When party in convention can
adopt resolution copdemning the
action of an officer and pledging
the repeal of the action and then
renominata the same man 10 the
same office heso wantingly abused
is wanting in legislative ability or
ordinary capacity; it is selecting
a wolf to guard sheepfold.
The Democratic party held their
county convention, selected can
didates, who became SO perfectly
disguised with the action of the
convention in the nomination Of
candidates for Supervisors that
they refused to run, and there you
are, gentlemen!
