Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 19, Number 87, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 July 1898 — A White County Opinion. [ARTICLE]

A White County Opinion.

The Republican has received a letter from one of the solidest Republicans of White county, an original and very influential Crampacker man, in which he states that 99 out of every 100 Republicans in White county hold the same views in regard to Mr. Cruuipacker's Hawaiian course as The Republican has expressed. He says that had the Motion letter been published before Mr. Crumpacker’s re-nomination at the recent convention here, the nomination never would have been made. The following are extracts from the letter. The opinion of Judge Crurnpacker, “that Reed is the ablest man connected with this Administration is not shared by the Republicans of the 10th District as he must known from the unanimity shown iu the instruction given their delegate to the National Convention to vote for President McKinley. It ought to be suggested to our Congressmen that the first and highest duty of a representative is to fairly and honestly vote and act in consonance with the will of his constituents in preference to his own peculiar views of the question however at variance they may be. • There are without doubt very many men in this Congressional District, of equal or greater ability with Judge Crumpacker, who have considered the Hawaiian question with great care for at least six or eight years, as well as othei Republicans in the State and Nation, notably among the latter of whom are Ex-President Harrison and President McKinley, and whose opinions are entitled to some weight in governing the action of a representative.
