Blease. ( The criticisms made against < him and his administration < have been respectful and in con- ' servative language. The opposition expressed has been dignified and orderly expression of the judgment that he was unfit ; to fill the high position of gover- , nor of the State. Now that he is defeated we do not propose exulting and boasting over the fact. We have no desire to "rub it jn" on the followers of Governor Blease. It is satisfaction enough for us that Governor Blease has been defeated. Many of his followers were honest in their belief that he was "the poor man's friend." We did not endorse all the chief executive did , nor all he said. We felt that he was about the worst enemy the poor man had, and so expressed it; we thought he exercised the pardoning power too freely and altogether indiscriminately, and so expressed th'e thought. We felt and still feel that ho \vn< nnfif ???: uimt iV/J IMC JJUMtion because he was too narrow in his views. He was the governor of his political followers and the avowed enemy of all his opponents. His attitude was that of a tyrant, and not of a chief executive, and he usurped the functions of legislative and judicial nature in the exercise of his executive duties. He has been intemperate in the discharge of his executive duties. ? There is another reason for the condemnation of Governor Blease: He has done more to array class against class than any man who has held the office of governor of the State. His words, actions, and attitude have incited lawlessness to action. Under is ?dmini?tvoti?? the courts of the State have gone to pieces. They were already tottering, but it remained for him to level them in the dust. We do not feel called upon to say more upon the matter. It is now a passed issue, and the machine he has built up will go to pieces line a oottle clashed upon a rock. There is just one phase of the matter that we feel should be weighed carefully: Behind Blease there was a reason. Blease, the man, was an accident; Bleaseism, under some other name, would have come just the same?even though it might have been delayed. The reason is, we take it, in the injustice and thoughtlessness too ? often manifested by the well-to- di do and prosperous towards the ^ man who is "down and out." x t is too hard a battle the p< __ nan has to fight. He stands >oor a chance in the courts. >ays too much for what he g 1 ,nd gets too little for what cm loes in many cases. There \ I lave to be an awakening of 4|l| jrosperous people; then mi ; ome into our courts "ev ! landed" justice. There must nore of the golden rule in biL ; less, industry and all comm< j :ial activities. There must coi 1 o be more of the spirit of he ulness; more thought for o j irs; less selfishness; less gree J ess oppression, if Bleaseism o lie in its grave. It will coi i lp in some other name, oth< J vise; but it will be the sai 1 hing in essence. J j 1 Come to think of it, the bittern< J 0 often felt and yet not spoken, J 1 comforting thought now the bat J s over. It is better so. After i J 1 he mountains of the present oft i shrink into mole hills as the til i i foes on. j The Times editor desires the go J ' vill of all his neighbors, whether 1 nay agree with them in politics j ^ lot. Here's hoping we may be a 1 ;o agree to disagree in our politi ? , lifferences and get busy in our elT? J ,o build up a great and good co J nunity. May rich fields abound a [ i ilenty fill our land with fatness, i We wish to express our apprec J t :ion of the courteous treatment :orded us by the public while we w< ariving the returns Tuesday nigmn B There was practically no boisterc * conduct. There were very little Sip >f drinking. The whole day of t dection passed off in a remarkal quiet manner.
