Crooked Scheme.
According to the usual methods
pursued by those who believe in,
and practice, the dark lantern and
star chamber system of politics, the
present Republican County Com
mittee is witholding all information
as to it operations and intentions
from all save the chosen few whose
political Interests it is its solo aim
and object to further. There are,
we understand, some amendments
to the rules proposed, but, ao fir as i
we can learn, no means have been
taken to give them general publici
ty so as to allow general Informa
tion of their character or a public
discussion of their merits. These
are mutters which pertain to the
welfare of the pnrty and should be
widely known and fully understood
so that the voters to whom they
are to be submitted, for adoption or
rejection, may vote with an intelli
gent conception of their merits. If
there are good reasons why th
rules should be altered or amended
there certainly can be no hnrm in
making them known and allowing
the intelligent Republican voters
in the county time to discuss and
weigh them. Such mntters should
receive consideration and ample op
portunity afforded for it. Tho rules
were held over for a montn before
adoption, by those opposing them';
in order that all might lie fully in
formed as to their character and ef
fect, now that changes are proposed
why should not eqnal publicity be
given and the same opportunity af
forded for publio review? Such
methods are unfair, underhanded
and bode no good to the general
welfare of the party, but they are
a part of the tactics usually employ
ed by those who rae in it to rule or
ruin.
