INSURGENT THREATS.

A correspondent of the Herald
from up in the northern part of the
state is full Of threats as to what
the insurgents will do if the stall
warts control the Minot convention.
The correspondent does not much
care how the convention is conducted
and what is the outcome of it;
whether it's actions are creditable or
otherwise, but insists that the insurg-
ent knife shall be applied to the Re
publican party organization, and is
evidently diligent reader of the
Herald's political columns.
1t does not seem to occur to the
correspondent that the majority of
the party has the right to control a
convention. Neither does it seem to
occur to him that there is any obli-
cation to support the nominees,
either of a convention or of a party
primary, if they do not meet with his
personal approval. Such a doctrine,
carried out in any state, would, of
course, mean that party organiza-
ton was thing of the past and that
nomination by party primary was
of no consequence. BY this same line
of argument, why should there be
any party primary at all? Why not
transfer the whole business of selec-
ton to the election, let every man
who desire to become candidate,
and let the people decide directly, by
majority if not by plurality, whom
they want for officials?
If the insurgent in question were a
candidate for Office at the primaries
would he advocate the joining Of his
opponents with the democrats in or
der to encompass his defeat after he
had been fairly chosen as the candi-
date of his party?
If the insurgents number seventy.
five per cent of the Republican voters
OF the state, as this correspondent
claims, how will it be possible fol
any other element of the parey thar
the insurgent to control the Mino
convention?
The letter which the Herald pub
fishes, evidently with pleasure, would
indicate that some of the insurgent
are prepared to vote the ticket i
their candidates are chosen and tx
bolt it if they are not. The sam,
Doctrine reversed would bode ill To-
any insurgent Republican who nigh
get party Endorsement at the pri
maries.

at the shops for seven years, coming
here from his home in Louisville in
February. 1901, during Paducah s
famous white week" He is the

time head foreman under Mr.. Baughn

ed from that position, which is now
held by George Bennett, to the gem

The change is acceptable to Mr..
Baughn because of the fact that his
children live with their grandparents
in Louisville and he will be with
them. During his administration here
Mr.. Baughn has been popular, having
wide acquaintance in the city. and
many friends will regret 70 know
that he wiz leave. He is one OF the

city has been victorious and This is
the third defendant that has been
fined.
The firm was charged with selling
notwithstanding drinks, analysed by
Milton Goodman, a city chemist of
Louisville, and found to contain over
two per cent OF alcohol. When the
trial was called yesterday demurrer
was filed by the defense. stating that
the city charter did not grant a right
to tax articles that were not men,
toned. The second point was that
the wholesale dealers liquor license
should clothe the firm with the right
to sell the beverage. The third point
was that the ordinance was an un-
Reasonable regulation.
After he had assessed the fine OF
500 and costs, which is the lint!
prescribed by the ordinance, Judge
Cross said:
1.-The city has been flooded with
advertisements of what Judge Cross
said was not intoxicating, but I want
to say that did not say that. For
the past six months there have been
trials of men who are alleged to have
sod goods containing alcohol with
out a license, but In each case a jury
has been chosen, and | have not dis
missed a case. In several cases wit
nesses have sworn that they did not
know what they bought. have said ii
did not intoxicate them, that they did
not know where they bought 1t and
the bottles did not contain any labels.
Under these condition | did instruct
jury to dismiss the case. II these
advertisements are not discontinued
