MAT 25. 1892. "Ekiltor. J . I- I ftV; • FUTILK EFFORT. A number of republican leaders who IppUM1* heretofore been busy in the endeavor to cot each others political throats, seem liow united in an effort to defeat the re- ; nomination of President Harrison. They have enlisted several newspapers in,their •jKjl'lli i| and there has been a steady hunt for ft dairk horse to bring before the na­ tional convention. For some time it was ' Insisted that Mr. Blaine should be the as- „ , t.„, 'tHi wrtn of friendship and confidence bnt he has steadily declined. Senator Cullom, >(0| iiunoig^ was pushed a little way, but lie discerned popular sentiment and with- ' • -drew with the announcement that he was for Harrison. Gov. McKinley, of Ohio, «topt>ed all proceedings with the an- • iionnoement that he was for Harrison. ^ Congressman Reed, of Maine, does not like the president but his staio does and ei its people will not countenance a deparfc- l vre to anybody but Blaine. Aiger, ot Michigan, is found not available and is -• dropped, and now Senator Sherman is f begged to ta&e the field, but has been dis- ^s (appointed too often to trust the honeyed j> ' words of sslf-seekers. fact, they all well understand, as the §V>, well understand, that there is no ' sincerity in the movement, but that it is %iraply made to revenge private grievan- ices and to put President Harrison in a i ^ ^ • position where he will have to mate • vr ' pledges' They know, also, as these plot- |^,v - - *t«r« know, that the people are for Harri- "•t.* «on and that any change of programme would be disastrous to the party, pf r ; The record of the administration makes the renomination of President Harrison liC! * ~rx'.*y v.* < but Receiving fwy r' v ' M V.V. rr' • the logical outcome, and the people rec­ ognize that it is an endorsement which is due and which they are glad to give. /• Those opposed to President Harrison all |- admit the merits of his administration, . •* but appear to try to get up the delusion irlthat notwithstanding this record he can- 4f not carry New York state and therefore ^M.\ some other candidate should be chosen •tit •- as a party expediency. That is all non­ sense and deceives nobody. He who ^serves the people best serves his party 'best, and the.Republican party is strong­ er in New York state to-day because of the splendid services of the Republican administration, and will cast more votes in November for Harrison than it did ' four years ago when he carried the state. Organization is valuable, but success , does not depend solely on that as politi- 3 "cians seem to suppose. Back of machin- ery must be the vital force of popular confidence in order to make organized . ' -effort effective. Toucan organize a vic- tory. The earnestness for a cauBe is nec- essary to create organization. Machin- win never be wanting when there is ' use for it. IjS; Nobody can fall to observe where the ' sentiment of the people is. The straight forward, manly course of the administrar . p tion, not seeking to perpetuate itself, but : doing its duty day by day, bringing prosperity to the nation, free from all , scandals, maintaining the dignity and ^honor of the nation abroad, keeping the finances in a healthy, sound condition, I,?v being^ business, rather than a political If* s administration, and content to abide by ,L>n • the decision of the people uninterfered fe ^ with by the creation of a personal faction, v ' have all won it theconfidence and respect T% °* They recognize that if those who now oppose had been able to Hhave their way, jt would not have been a |V' -business administration and could not f'Y . have made its splendid record, the honor ft.,', ,, of which is reflected on the Republican §5S,w % party and which strengthened it every- *wbere. The renomination of President Harrison is already assured by the voice t/ 'tf ' of the people themselves, and it is a futile effort to attempt to stem the tide. The ^ New York Mail and Express, in the fol- T': " * lowing extract, exposes the purpose of |j&the opposition as well as reflects thepop- ular sentiment. It says: - * H President Harrison's nomination | shall come, as it obviously will come, in Spv-4 ®Pite of the opposition of a few political g bosses, it will reveal the strength of the iMr% Republican voters and the weakness of the bosses themselves. He cannot afford iJ- - t maKe> should not make, and, we have ® ( . *1 reaooit to believe, wiii not make any ferpledge of patronage or spoils in return " for a renomination. If his splendid ad- ^ ministration is worthy of the endorse- y ment it has received from every state 4 Republican convention this year, it would g 'i • be folly to cast him aside. To commend « an administration and then to thrust §pC>)*' wide the administrator would be to sub- » . ject the party to merciless ridicule and ceaseless criticism. pf«y All of which is gospel truth. And the £*' sooner political leaders find that out the better they will be able to lead. Thepo- leader of to-day must march in the ^ "ay the people are going. If he tries to |,v' bead off the column he will get run over L<V, and trampled on. 1 . NftftfENGO. The Marengo ^Winer's Club were enter­ tained by Mr. Midi Mrs. P. F. Parkhuret, at their home, Wednesday, May 18th. Topic, corn culture. The Ladies' Columbian Exposition Club, of Marengo, met with Mrs. P. W. Patrick, Tuesday, May 17. President, Mrs. J oslyn, o! Woodstock; Vice Presi­ dent, Mrs. A. R. Parkhurst. Essays.-- "New opportunities bring new duties." "Notable events of the 15th century." "Columbus." "The influence of the Columbian Exposition." In a recent ar­ ticle on Columbus the writer makes out that the discovery of America by Colum­ bus was an accident in a piratical cruise of the high seas, making him no better than any pirate that floated the black flag from the mast head. In pushing aside the drapery of the centuries, we find our idols have feet of clay and very poor clay too. The Business College, conducted by Col. Stewart, is very successful. He has a large class, three sessions a day, and is a fine teacher. Miss Cornelia Neltnor, under the aus­ pices of the Baptist young people, will give an entertainment at the Opera House, May 27. She will be assisted by home talent, in vocal and instrumental music. Miss Neltnor ia very successful in her character sketches. The Bee Hive, Smith & NedJ, has been enlarged and greatly improved. They wallpaper, curtains and fixtures. The main sales room has been lengthened twenty feet, and an entire plate glass front put in. One would hardly know the old brick block. Frank Sapp, of Ottawa, with the Asso­ ciated Press, of Chicago, visited with Dr. Adams last, week. When the two hundred operatives and their families commence to mail and re­ ceive postal matter here, then shall we have a brand new Post. Office for our popular P. M. and his polite assistant.

Sperry, with his wife, visited their mother and sister here. Rev. J. N. Hutchinson, of Sioux Falls, former pastor of the Presbyterian church in Marengo, on his way to the General Assembly in Portland,called upon friends oi his famiiy here. Residing here is an only sister, a son, the hustling grocery man, and one daughter, occupying a re­ sponsible position with F. W. Patrick & Co. The Band have re-organiied under the leadership of our enterprising jeweler, T. Gill. We shall have some good music. We have had sometimes, and then again one would wish to be an idol, having ears but could not hear. Sons of Veterans are straining the "sinews of war" to make their picnic on the 4th a grand success. Orators of the day, Gen. J. C. Black and Richard Yates. It has been some time since we have cele­ brated and it is to be hoped "the boys" will have the hearty co-operation of pa­ triotic citizens. The editor of the Republican has slip­ ped along in life just one year past sixty and the birthday anniversary, May 14, was delightfully celebrated by family and friends. The choir of the Methodist church gave him an elegant gold lined cup and saucer. It could not hold all their good wishes. I wonder if "Barts" glasses were not a little misty just then. The stove factory is going to be an im­ mense building. One portion of the wall is nearly up. Working force 150. Any man that wants to work can get it in Marengo now. In great demand carpen­ ters, masons and day laborers. Tramps shun us now. The small boy is on his good behavior, willing to do any thing--circus is coming. A meeting will be held in the school house, to-morrow, Tuesday, evening, to consider the best plan for increasing the capacity of our school building. Last, but not least I take great pleas­ ure in announcing that we are to have another "sassiety." An effort is being made to organize a Lodge of the Knights of Pythias. It is a great thing to be a Knight. All the 20th century Knights do not wear armor or ride on coal black steeds.

H'H' . fcs V, IV The difference between the present situation in the two great political par­ ties may be summed up thusly: Any one of the men named as possible repub lioan candidates for President can be elected, so that it is simply impossible for the Minneapolis convention to make a wrong selection while no man who has been named in connection with the demo cratic nomination could possibly be elected, unless there should be a radical change in public sentiment between now and the election. ALGONQUIN. V " A very fine specimen of the European Carp was caught here last week. It weighed about six pounds. Mr. Ed. Morton Jr. has it alive, and as in the size of its scales its mouth and fin struc­ ture it differs much from the Red Horse or buffalo fish of our waters. It is very interesting.
