IS one of the tenets OF the party, as the
election Monday shows that the issue
was sharply drawn in the campaign with
he republican party favoring the prohibi-

opposing it in the hopes Of swinging the
state into the local option column. The
republican plurality was 5000. electing

"THE man without party is tramp,

Journal "He generally claims to be in

nowned Hearst puts up an Independent
ticket he bolts from 1t as he would from
a reptile. He knows not where he is at
He has no party affiliations and claims NJ
party and no party recognizes him, in fact
he is wanderer politically who has lost
the respect Of both parties. 1t is far bet
ter not to bolt your party just because :
few clauses Of its platform do not please
you or because you have personal en-
nifty against one Of its candidates. Stick
by your party, be it winner or looser,
and you will have the respect and not the
enmity of both sides.

THE action of the Ionia county republic
can convention. says the Saranac Adyer-
tiser, in taking backward step in the
battle for clean elections only proves the
more forcibly the power of few under
the convention system, and emphasizes
the need of a primary law that will reform
these abuses. The recent governorship
contest proved that cities do not control
the primary election, for Governor War
ner's strength came from the country.
That the present law needs general
oyerhauling all admit, but when anyone
says the principals Of the law are looked
upon with disfayor they are stating that
which is not true. lonia county has led
in this fight and the action OF the self
constituted bosses at Iona on Tuesday
will only stimulate the friends Of clean
cleo tons to more vigorous action.

May Get Eneampment.

The proposed amalgamation OF
Mississippi troops at Chickamauga
in July has been abandoned, and in
stead Of going to Chickamauga the
troops will hold their annual en-
campment at some point within the
State. Columbus will make an eff
fort to secure the State encampment,
and there is good reason to believe
that the effort will be successful.
The soldiers camped here last year,
and both officers and men agree in
declaring the encampment to have
been one of the most successful in
the history of the Mississippi Ma
tional Guard.
On account of the fact that prohi-
bition laws are rigidly enforced in
Columbus and blind tigers are not
allowed to exist here, there was lit
tie if any drinking among the men,
and the discipline maintained dur
ing the progress of the encampment
last year was we'll nigh perfect All
of the soldiers were delighted with
Columbus and with the reception ac-
corded them, and it is believed that
they would rather go in camp here
than at any other point within the
borders of the State.
Col. Jno. P. Mayo, the efficient pay
master-general of the Mississippi Ma
tional Guard, is very anxious to have
the encampment held here, and has
set out to secure it with that enthu-
siastic zeal which characterizes his
work in behalf of every good cause,
and which is almost invariably
crowned with success. The benefits
to be derived from the coming of
the troops to Columbus are mani
fold, and every enterprising citizen
should put his shoulder to the wheel,
and aid Col Mayo in the effort which
he is making to secure the encamp
ment.
