A Republican State Convention is liere
by called to convene in the cityot Poitland,
Wednesday. May. 3d, 1878, at 11 o'clock
A. M., to select six delegates to tlie Nation
al Republican Convention, candidates tor
judges of the supreme court in the second
third and fifth judicial districts, for prose
cuting attorneys for the several judicial dis
tricts three presidential electors, and a
candidate for representative ' in congress,
and for the transaction of snch otlier busi
ness as may come before the convention.
It is recommended that primary and
county conventions in the several counties
be held as follows : Primary conventions
on Wednesday, April 19th, and county
conventions on Wednesday. April 26th, or
at such other times as the county commit
tees may appoint.

In making this call for a Republican
State Convention, tlie State Central Com
mittee realize the fact tliat too inuch impor
tance cannot be attached to preliminary
operations. This being a "government of
the people, by the people, for tlie people,"
the agents or officers ot the government
should be in accord with the people. Ac
cording to the general accepted plan of
selecting candidates, the first steps are ta
ken in our primary, county aud State con
ventions. These form the ground work of
political organization upon which the whole
superstructure must stand or fall. If hon
est men de-irc honest officials, is it asking
too ranch that tbey lay aside for a day all
other business affairs aud devote tlie time
necessary to select proper persons to attend
county and State conventions?
In view of these considerations and of tlie
important interests at stake we earnestly
appeal to all legal voters w1k are in sym
pathy 'with the princtjtles ot the Republican
party, regardless of personal likes and -dislikes
to rally at tlie primaries, and see to it
that none but true men are entrusted with
the business of preparing for tlie coming
political campaign : Select men who are
not only true themselves in the broadest
sense ot that term but men of discernment,
men who can and will clioose wisely for the
good ot the people in defiance of "rfngs"
nd "duplies. '
It is unneccessary at this time to reiterate
in this call the principles of the Republican
party; its glorious record is still fresh in
the memory of an enlightened public ; it
is sound upon all the great principles a fleet
ing our national existence ; it is the party
of progress and development ; it exposes
corruption wherever found and inflicts pun
ishment upon conspirators, tearful and sud
den, without respect of person or position ;
it favors the universal enlightenment of the
people without trammel of creed or ism ;
and its banner is found in tlie' van leading
on the hosts of reformers in all that tends
to higher civilization and enlarged freedom.

so incensed the army that it cussed him

The scientific definition of what pe
culiarly constitutes a man, is certainly
suggestive. Plato says that a man is
simply "a two-legged animal without
featheis." Socrates once ridiculed tbe
master by bringing into Ids school a
plucked rooster and saying. "Behold
the man of Plato P Jlan is sometimes
called "a laughing animal," sometimes
"an animal with thumbs," and some
times "a lazy animal." ! But Adam
Smith was not far wrong when he call
ed him "an animal that makes bargains.
Xo other animal docs this. No dog
exchanges bones with another." These
definitions are not adapted to feed our
conceit, however valuable they may bo
iu other resoct.

After reaching America he assumed the

the road through tbe War Department
for nearly $200,000. His sister owned

lie took it from tbe railroad, of which
he was President, and from the widow

told the truth, but the general opinion

try the hopes of the nation depend.
The people look to the press for correct
information, and on this they base their
judgment of governmental aflairs. A
bad paper conveys a moral poison
wlierever it circulates. If it is edited
with commanding abilitiy, its power tor
evil is greatly increased, and this is still
further enlarged in proportion to its cir
culation. How vital, then, in view of
this, becomes the necessity of support
ing good papers. Every citizen who
believes in public and private morality
should extend liberal support to his home
paper. His first duty should be to
strengthen that. If he has patronage,
it should go to the local organ before a
dollar is sent to a paper at a distance.
Tbe principle of home protection should
be applied to the local papers ot the

A Boy that Deserve a Medal.
He wasa very small boy, all in tatters,
and his clothes were dripping. In his
arms he held a miserable little dog, and
both boy and dog were shivering in the
cold January weather. This is about
what lie told me : " x ou see Mister.
Bill 1 lost wick and me was a playing by
the river, betting cents on the chunks
of ice, a seeing which one would go
first over the dam, when this 'ere little
dog came trotting past. 1 Says Bill to
me says he : 'Let s have this 'ere dog
for a passenger.' So we took bim and
put him on a real big chunk-of ice, and
Bill, who is an everlasting mean kind
of a boy, was for shoving him off into
the water just so, but I would not. I
had a bit of twine in my pocket, and I
bitched it to a jagged bit of the ice, 6o
as it couldn't get off. Oh, we had lots
of fun at first with that 'ere pup. as a
passenger. isut Bill is an awful orna
ry boy, Mister, so when it was his turn
to play tow horse with the chunk of
ice and the dog for a passenger, he just
let tbe cord 6lide on purpose, so he did
Then I pitched into that 'ere Bill Bost-
wick and guv bim fits. But you see
there was tbe ice. and the pup as was
passenger, sliding down that 'ere river
like thunder. I felt sure the passenger
was going to be drowned ; as 1 happen
ed to know that pups mother I felt
kind of sorry, so I went again tor Bill
Boetwick, and went for bim good,
Just then tlie cake of ice, with the
poor pup a yelping and keiyieing on it
was just over the dam. 1 dursn't look,
Mister. That 'ere night, though I must
have slept good, that pup's howling I
kind ot dreamed about. Well, arter
breakfast, I ventured to look out on the
river, and there was the pup still a yelp-
ins, just like Moses in the bulrushes.
J he ice had kind ot sot during last
night as it was cold, but , wasn t real
hard. I just skinned across that dam
on the Iocs sake ! but it was slippery
and I tumbled in over my head twiste,
a:id was just able to get the pup off, as
was passinger, by the scruff ot bis necK.
Now, Mister. I am coins to keep that
'ere dog until be is grown up, and just
as sure as ever Bill Bost wick whistles
to him, I am going to teach him to bite
iiill, and it he is too small to do it,
ain't too little to lick two boys like
Bill. I say, Mister, if you r know of
any society as gives medals to boys R3

name is George Washington Ostergood,
