Bolts, DAVIS, AND ARNOLD HEADED.

The "dsruption" of parties has commenced.
The 'new organization" is about to take place.
The honest men of all parties, in such times as
these, and those coming, will show their hands
the bodest and best will lead the way and
reap the credit 1t is utterly impossible for
pure, conscientious, and religious men to be
ruled and governed by such individuals as Ar
mold, Davis and Bolts. We do not believe that
Providence will ever afflict us with such dire
full calamity
The letter we give below, is most cheering
indication that country is not TO be sacrificed
for party.

LETTER FROM MR.. GOODE.
WASHINGTON CITY, June LIST, 1912.
Mr.. Editor-Sir:
am not in the habit of attaching any great impor-
lance TO my opinions but conceive il be OF the
duties of representative t. inform those he repre-
sents nearly he can, of the progress OF the Du
sness entrusted to his care, and regard to those
measures which SO much affect the interests of the
country.
1t is now the first of June We have been here
six MONTHS and have not reached the most important
measures before am aware OF the great anxiety
every where felt to some action on the part OF
present embarrassed and nearly ruined conditions and
while my opinions to what these measures ought To
be- remain unchanged, regret to be compelled to say,
that see but little prospect of their success II
am asked why2 unhesitatingy answer that 1t Is
the interests of party looked by leading men of
bot parties, than the interests OF the suffering
people, and already Frustrated country.
While party struggles can be made to subServe the
interests of the country, they are right and proper,
land that they sometimes do, have no doubt j but
70, hapn
tive to the loud and urgent calls of an oppressed peo-
pe and to with reference TO the Presidency, dis
tress and ruin come upon US with all their tram OF
disastrous consequences.
There is too much reason to tear that we nave al
ready reached such state of things. On the one
hand are 10 be found those who refuse to adopt any
measure which is not in exact accordance with the
policy of their favorite candidates. and on the other
hand, those who would seem to be willing to let the
country 90 to destruction rather than yield partl
Gle of their favorite policy SO the interests OF the
country still to be sacrificed IN party strife. In
this state of things what is to be done! There Is but
one remedy and that remedy Is IN the hands OF the
people Let them frown down any and every attempt,
on part of any man, or his friends to aglate the
subject of the next Presidential election, until their
business attended to, and the interests of the coun-
try properly regarded,
On the subject of the Presidency, |, in common
with my fellow-citizens have my choice of men: but
while see the country bleeding at every pore, and
those who sent here oppressed and suffering for
the of proper action ON tue part OF the Leglsa-
tive authorizes of The General and State Govern
ments should consider myself recreant to the trust
reposed in me- if were to prefer the service OF party
interests to that of my country.
There one or two great and important measures,
the adoption of which has been confidently looked Tor
at the present session Of Congress- and without which
the country must continue suffer, but begin to
fear that our expectations will he realized and If
they are not will be because of the ruinuous effects
of party strife, and the uny elding determination of
leading partisans of both sides to serve men rather
than measures.
do not believe differ much as to measures,
if we are not under an undue influence in support OF
| men. And here unhestatlngy say, that never
expect to the country relieved from its present EN-
barrassments until the continued panty conflict for
the Presidency spul end to- and that must be done
by the people, Almost every thing is done with reie-
renee to party and unlrequenty with reference to
the favorlte Presidential candidate and his Interests
| When question measure comes up the inquiry is
not will it benefit the country, but will 1t add strength
and influence to the party, and will it strengthen our
iavorite candidates This the course at the extra
session; and is still followed up; and it seems Is to
be followed up, the utter ruin Of the country Is
there never to be end to these THINGS il becomes
all sober men to reflect peat It, the remedy is In
the hands of the people, and never expect to see the
country relieved till this Of things is are ed
Yours. truly. p C. GOODE
