FRIDAY. - MARCH 27, 1896 TOMORROW'S CONVENTION. The KeDiibhcans of Texas baa a "monkey and a parrot time" in their convention held yesterday. The pro ceedings were disgraceful in the extreme and the only excuse that can be raised in the delegates' behalf is that the Re publican party is young in Texas and has yet to learn the ways of orderly be havior. It would seem that McKmley has delegations enough that be could give to Reed and Allison the one from Texas. According to present indica tions they need it badly. The Republican delegates of Wasco county will have an opportunity tomor row of winning credit for themselves and success for the party by rising above any factional feeling and naming as can didates the men best fitted to discbarge' the duties which the respective officee entail. The people of the county are in terested in having men named who will administer the county affairs economic ally and well. Every taxpayer is di rectly concerned in the management of county affairs, and in these days of re duced incomes and high taxes retrench ment in county expenses has become a necessity. This is a time when the claims of the professional office seeker should be disregarded. Taxes in Waeco county are too high. The same com plaint that is heard so vociferously in other parts of the state is justified here and a systematic effort must be made to redeem the county indebtedness, at the same time not increasing the rate of taxation. Our county finances are in that state which requires the most skillful treat ment. This community cannot grow as its resources entitle it to until the rate of taxation is lower and the public debt decreased. Capitalists with- money to invest seek those places where, other things being equal, the rate of taxes is low. Portland is having a bitter experience with the tax evil and her prosperity is for a time at least, threatened from this source. Wasco county is deeper in debt now than it should be, and it is lime to check any further tendency in that di rection. Never were good business men more needed to manage our county affairs than now, and it is the duty and opportunity of the Republican conven tion to see that such men will be chosen for county offices as are known for their capabilities, and not for the stand tbey have taken in local politics.

You hear it almost everywhere, and read it in the newspapers, that Simmons Liver Regulator is the best liver remedy and the best Sprinsr medicine, and the best blood medicine, "lhe tn' medi cine of any consequence that ise is Simmons Liver Regulator." So wrote Mr. R. A. (Jobbj of Morgantown, N. U. Ana v. r. jrarK. ax. u., or iracy vny Tenn, writes : "Simmons Liver Kegula tor is the best. Walla Walla has organized a Repubh r.n club of 500 members. Before the campaign is over the number of names on the roll of the McKinley Club of The Dalles should exceed three hundred. The club idea is a good one, and every country precinct in Wasco county should have euch an organization. The clubs are the means through which a great work in political education can be accomplished. An example of the tardiness with which republics express their gratitude is teen in the government's action at this late day in awarding to Senator Sewall of New Jersey, a medal of honor for bravery at the battle of Chancellors ville, May 5, 1863. But better than the pieces of metal which governments confer is the consciousness of duty done -which not only Sewall. but the thous ands of brave men who struggled there can claim as their dearest possession.
