PREDOMINATION OF PRINCIPLE
The republican assembly has met
and adjourned, no far a the present
la concerned, and they returned to
their home heartily pleased with the
success which attended the county
convention. It was, Indeed, a success
far beyond the expectation of the
most extravagant hopes of the party.
The most perfect harmony prevailed
throughout the day In all the de
liberations and delegates from the
various precincts returned to their
homes conscious that a new era has
dawned for the party which la In
tended to aid In uniting the people
for better government and in en
gaging candidates who will do credit
to the various offices of public trust
In the county when elected.
The ticket from top to bottom Is
made with a view to fitness and
qualification. Iu accepting their no
minations many of the candidates

The same can be said of William L
Dice, one of the prominent bulBiiess
men df Independence. Iu accepting
the nomination he Is conscious of the
insignificance of the office and the
failure of the state legislature to put
that office ou a proper basis of re
muneration. Who will deny that Mr.
Pice is making a sacrifice to accept
the nomination for sheriff of Polk
county, an office which offera a com
pensation of only $1200 a yvar? The
attention to his business here In In
dependence Is worth more than twice
that Amount. He has caught the
spirit Of the times and has put duty
ahead of personal convenience.
E.M. Smith has grown so lndlspetis
able to the clerk's office that it is a
foregone conclusion that no change
will be made at the forth-coming eloe
