" The Scout and the Republican of Union publish a communica tion from which I make the following extract: "That La Grande is more convenient to a greater number of people of the county than Union may be conceded.'- Here .is an admiss ion made by a communication published , tnis week (' in both papers published at Union, and it admits that ; La Grande is a more convenient place for most of the people than Union is. This admits away all claim that a town wanting the county' seat should be expected to put forth. Why should ' Union be tbe county seat in the face of the admitted fact that La Grande is more convenient to most people? What "claim has Union? Absolutely none, after they admit that it more conveniest to most people to go to La Grande. This fact is admitted by Union, because it is known to be so by everybody. When .they admit that it is mm e convenient for most people to go to La Grande, they, impliedly concede that 'ocatiug the county seat at La Grande would save a great amount both in money and time to the tax payers and others. It osts more to tbe vast majority to go to Union than to La Grande. The saving in the item of mileage for jurors and wit nesses in criminal and civil cases is a large item The saving iu time iu going to and returning from the county seat is an other large item to be considered. But the only plea that Union attempts to" make is that the county will have to build a court house nt a large expense right away.if a change is made, but this is a false plea. , Union took a case to the Supreme Court last fall and obtainei a decision of the : Supreme Court which establishes the fact beyond any question, that Union County cannot build : a cour bouse until tbe county is out or debt. This is au established fapt. The county seems to : be : largely indebt and hence the county cannot build a court bouse for many'' years."'" "This ' ought 'to convince any, reasonable mau that the county will not and cannot build r a cturt house. Now, the people of La Grande intend to provide . a place for holding court, a courthouse, free of charge to the county and are proceeding with all reasonable speed to do so. Every reason aMe man that does not know that this is the case can easily 1 1 form li nself by making a little effort. Then tbe people are not to be taxed for a court house for many years. Every one who has been about - Union knows that the present court house is wholly inadequate for the needs of , the county, and that the oounty has to rent rooms away from the court house for ;' the grand jury and otber juries. They know, also, that the offices are too small and that tbe building is small and in poor condition. Practically, tbe county has no sufficient court house at Union. The people can have one free of charge, excepts ihg a nominal, rent, by voting for La Grande.V By voting for La Grande a vast majority will be benefited in time and expense and accommodations for rooms and offices, etc., will cost the oounty nothing, t Reason, . argument and common '- sense say that La Grande is the place to elect for the county seat. " There is no mistake about it.' Subscribes . The republican ' candidate for superintendent of schools.: Mr R. A. Wilkennon, has resided in Union county Since .11890. He attended ";: normal college at Logansport, Indiana, . and has been a school teacher since 18851 He comes before' the .people well equipped for, the duties of, the office to which he aspires, Mr. Wilkenson's, home place is li miles from La Grande. ' He has not held a office before this time, and if elected will be a credit to the .office ;pf " superintendent of schools.
