A Review.
The Campaign is verging to a oloso
The ballots are horo. old men, adjust
your glasses- young men balance your
judgments?and got ready to vote
When it is done, you have simply done
a duty; government will wag on all
the sann;, and you ean turn yourselves
to your private atTairs no worse oil.
nor hot tored, Bo kind enough to con
sider: We are all apt to oxagorato the
importance of most events ? most
thing.-. It is best to take matters
coolly; get a tapo line: wait before
speaking at least a minute: perhaps
two, and by this time you will have a
just estimate of the value and impor
tance of everything ami all men. We
are not to get excited about OoorgO
Washington, who was all right in his
day. Thomas JofTorson, who likowiso
played his part and took cai'O of
Thomas. So, to day, WO make up our
best judgment on Evuns, irby and Me
Lauriu, and whatever the result, wo
at least, must [supply our own praties
pigr and pumpkins. The campaign
closes on Saturday night and wo de
posit the ballots on Tuesday and then
we pick out our little cotton.
MoLaurin is sidi on sick 'cave or
furlough, according as ho is a private
In thu ranks or au opaalottod field of
ficer. Evans and Irby arc Still trav
elling the Circuit, while .lohuy Dun
can, like Ajax i- in his tent. The
Irby men claim that ho is the man:
Evans men are belting on Evans, and
the men of McEaurin claim that he is
far in the lead. We have not changed
our mind and believe that MoLaurin
and Irby will run a second race- that
they will bo close together and Evans
get so large a vote, that there will be
no majority and a sooond rac ? will be
necessary. The old Conservative and
ltoform lines are wiped out and in the
second race they will he all jumbled
together and tho votes will go by hap
hazard. There aro atloast ton thou*
sadd votes that will bo cast', reluct
antly, for neither candidate suits them.
There are ten thousand votes that will
siot be cast for the same reason. It will
therefore bo a small vote, and tho re
sult cannot be anticipated. It is a cu
rious conglomeration. There are
former independents who wear by
MoLaurin; pull Irby's coat tail, and
hang to Evans nether garment: there
are men and newspapers who opposed
the Constitutional Convention, and de
nounced Tlllmanism as populism, who
like lambs are led by MoLaurin and
incline us to hope for the millennium
and much of the "stuff" and spoils of
the ('amp.
Wo are trying to impress our good,
gentfc and faithful readers, that they
need not grow excited about the re
sult of this campaign, or any other.
You may play a game every evening
and awake In the morning to realize
that it was not worth tho candle. If
you miscarry on your man, however,
you can recall the philosophy of Davy
Crockett: if your old firelock fail, you
can pick your Hint and try again.
Watch your neighbors and you will ob
serve that they arc looking after tho
pie counter. Tho country is taking
?care of itself: so of those bound for the
Klondyko; so of the Cubans: ~o of the
Turks; so Llllokalani . And just so

Hill Stallions furnished entertainment

i ?
Tho Campaign.
The Sonatoiifal Campaign proceed
ing now in this State Is neither cred
itable to the Slate nor the candidate -.
No man IS lit to look aftor the inter
ests of a leading nation of the earth a-<
well as his Imrnodiate/constltjenoy,
whose qualifications arc not known and
recognized two hundred miles from
his . home. Circumstances nowovor
might arise to justify u jrcal dobato,
as when some vital question is hetore
the country for adjudication, to lie
settled in the National Loglslaturo,
This is not the case now. The Dingloy
Tariff is law for at least five years anil
McKinley is President. In 1898 seven
Congressmen arc to be elected in this
Stato and as all Democrats are pract
ically united, the sole issue to he pre
sented before tho people, will be
ability and personal fitness. In the
same way wo urge that no man is lit to
go to the Lower House of Oongross
whose general qualifications are not
recognized within the boundaries of
his District. If vital questions arise
then thoy may bo discussed. Tho
present campaign, however, is not
chargeable to the campaigners, but to
the State Executive Committee. To
illustrate: At the campaign mooting
here five hundred people Including a
hundred lads heard the speakers, when
there are 2,70b Democratic voters in
th<J county. Besides, plain truth to
tell, the body of voters make up their
judgment upon what thev read, and
this is a reading age, and a big pcrcts
Of tho votors are as intelligent and as
able as tho candidates. In the present
campaign, therefore, the man whose
views arc known, stands as good a
chance with tho votors as he who ap
pears boforothem. Again,the shouting
in a meeting of live hundred voters Is
but a poor criterion of the veto of
3000. The State Democratic Convontion
Of Virginia ten days ago refused to or
der a canvass by aspirants to succeed I
SenatorJ^fejiol, leaving it to the Leg
islaturofTwhere It belongs, to make tho
choice/Dbniel is known personally or
by roputatloi>,insldo and out.and up and
downatovery fireside in old Virginia.
He couldn't holp himself by Spread*
S oagle oratory In tho State. He Is
known. Wo should go back to tho
old praotlce of candidates spoaking
when and whero they plcaso. This
view, of course, we do not, present ss
applicable to the Immediate repre
sentatives of the puoplo, as members
?of the Lower House and Representa
tives in the State Legislatures. Sena
tors represent States and not tho poo
plo directly. They are chosen by tho
people's representatives, for six years.
They arc chosen for khelr eonsorva
I tlve character und ubility, and it may
bo accidentally with reference to vital
issues at the time of choice, but the
chances aro before the term of six
years expires, that these issues are as
dead us a door nail.

A (jhimo Cock.
There is no harder lighter than our
own dear little State. She is our little
dear, don't you mind. She is in the
liquor trade up to the eyes und per
sists in her struggle to maintain a
monopoly in the business, against all
comers. The old oar tenders in the six
years struggle have been extinguished
and driven from her borders. Hut the
old fable of the monster whose le ads
were knocked off and shooting out a
hundred has been oxoiuplliled, lilllld
tigers spring up on all hands and
original package men, of her proud
citizenship, jealous of the good Stato's
honorable calling.are in the Hold. Now
the State is extending the business by
many beer shops, tierce in the noble
competition. Harber and his ancient
assistant Townsond are noble cham
pions in tho lists.
*
* ?
Trouble Ahead.
The statesmen who made the Con
stitution In l*'.>.">, in fixing the liquor
clause, havo set up a tiihralter thai
will be hard to down. The General
Assembly alone can grant a Ilcon80 to
retail and can't dologato auth irlty to
municipalities to grant a license.- ?
Should a WOt Legislature be in power
lit any time the Uepresentatives and
Senators would bo able to extend the
privilege of retailing to their pets
throughout tho state.
