We don't feel that tho?e papers arc treating the people fairly right that eay the Tillmnuitcs arc looking around for Anli-Tilim,mites to take care of the ollioe.s and get the country out of its present financial troubles, etc. We think the messes of our people arc honest, arid will if let atone, do what they think is right, liy voting for the best, mtu, irrespective of party. But when a paper begins to sing out that this or that paity has all the character, nil the sense, and all the honesty, it is sure to hurt the cause it is trying to help. When a good man's name is suggested it should go before the people upon the merits of the mar? himself.
