A MlsoHlEvoUs RESOLUTION

IN THE expiring moments Of the
convention yesterday when one-
half OF the delegates had departed
and the other half were about to leave,
Mr. Hules offered the following resolu-
tion, which was passed by less than
third Of the votes Of the delegates to
the convention.
"Whereas, In order to maintain the
standards Of good government so es-
sential TO the we'll being Of all the poo-
pie Of the State, Il is essential that the
state offices shall be filled by Repub-
lieans Of unquestioned and unquestion-
able personal fitness.
"Whereas, We realize that this end
can be reached only by the united and
concerted action Of all the Republicans
Of the State, regardless Of faotional dit
ferenoesj therefore be IL
"Resolved That the State Committee
Is hereby authorized TO fill all vacancies
BY death, resignation or otherwise on
the ticket this day nominated and to
make such changes thereon as may be-
come necessary 70 secure one set Of
Republican candidates In this State
Some day there may be a test Of
the power conferred by such reso-
luton. II may be questioned whether
after delegates have solemnly nomi-
mated candidates for certain offices
without conditions. and these candi-
dates have accepted without conditions
they can subsequently pass resolution
delegating to a state Committee the
right to undo the work. We are in
clined to think that had this resolution
been passed prior to the nominations
all candidates would have been bound
by II, but as It was adopted after the
nominations had been made uncon-
diuonally and accepted unoonditionally,
resolution giving the state Commit
tee power, not only to an vacancies,
but to pull candidates off, is ex post
facto in its nature and void.
Certainly It does not apply 20 the
nominee for Governor. He was named
for the office unconditionally, and in
a speech accepting he declared with
emphasis that he should remain the
candidate tin the election. The con-
diuous were accepted and the burst
Of applause following his declaration
made evident the feeling Of ma
jority of the delegates. In our opinion
no state Committee can remove him
from the ticket even though it were so
disposed and though the people would
approve, which they certainly would
not.

Grand Army Enoampment.

From the Minneapolis Journal
The national encampment of the

held in Boston this month, and it prom
ises 90 be one OF the most successful
encampments of recent years both in
point OF interest and attendance. Ac-

states which have 1851 Of the SUR
viving 256,510 members of the order
New York has the largest department,
29.9SS members. Pennsylvania comes
second with 26.426. Ohio third with
25.52a, Illinois fourth with 20s00 and
Massachusetts, fifth with 16.S04.
Each successive national encamp-
ment from this time on will probably
see smaller attendance. and in few
years probably the national encamp-
ment idea viii have 10 he abandoned.
and in the place OF 70 a small number
of the best preserved men of the order
win meet once year to transact the
business that viii come up. Already
there has been much talk in favor Of
abandoning the long parades which for
many years have been the principal
feature OF encampment week The
veterans are growing old, and the IA

The average member Of the Grand
