NAMED during his short stay. Along the

A result of this kind must be avoided.
An election for Senator must take place this
winter, and woe be to the men who will at
tempt to prevent it; they will become his
sing and reproach throughout the State.
They will be pointed at by the finger of
scorn, and consigned to an obscurity in the
future, that will be the just reward of recus-
SAINT public servants. The opportunity for
carrying out plan so promising for mis-
chief should not be given, however, but the
people should be diligent in making their
representatives aware of their preference, and
instruct them as to their wishes. The prefer
ence is certainly confined to few candidates
and we're this course pursued, some ofthe gen.
tlemen who can now only count upon strag-
Cling votes, would be left out of the race en-
tirely. The people should not permit their
representatives to pledge their support to
men who are not the choice of their con-
stituency, but should instruct in time to pre-
vent being msrepresented. Already there
are candidates busy, endeavoring to obtain
the votes of the members Of the Legisla-
ture in counties where not one Democrat in
a hundred ever thought of them in connec-
ton with the United States Senate. These
gentlemen are perfectly Indifferent as to
what the rank and file Of the Democracy
may think Of their aspirations, If they can
but secure the pledges Of the representatives.
We wish to forestall anything Of this
kind, and desire the rank and file to speak
out in time. If Gov. Weller is overwhel-
mingly the choice of the party, rs we be-
lieve he is, representatives should understand
the same; if otherwise, let it be known. But
in the name of all that is fair and manly, let
there be no more cheating the people out OF
their choice.
Should the plan proposed, be adopted, we
would soon see who are entitled to be can
dida,es and who are not We are confident
that one half who are now spoken of would
not receive single vote in caucus,-their
popularity would exist only in their distem-
pered maginations. We are not willing
that these gentlemen shall embarrass the &C.
ton of the Senatorial caucus, or jeopardize
the chances of the genuine candidate Of the
party; therefore we insist upon having them
put aside.
Gov. Weller can be elected by large ma
iority if members are held to strict &C
countability; and this must be done.

STEWART CoLLEGE-We learn that the eight
gentlemen composing the regular Faculty osStcwart

were met, the first morning, by ftty-oae students.
We have also been told that about t,oepty more
came in on Tuesday, and several others ON Wcdnes-
day. We congratulate the community and the
synod upon this suspicious opening of the College
under its new organization, and we are satisfied,
from conversation with some of them, that the
Faculty are determined to spare efforts to make
it all that our citizens, or the country need desire
There Is a much larger number than ever before
from abroad And it is believed that the whole
number will probably reach 100 in a month from
this time.
We shall look with confidence TO the Synod
whose child it is, to give it liberal patronage worthy
of them as a religious body, and Of the men to
whom they haze given it in charge And if they
do not come up now to sustain it handsomely with
both students and money "wc think they vii

Mn. EDrToR: We propose to present the name OF
one of the best citizens of Montgomery County for
an Office to be filled by them at the next March
election. We not only present one of the best but,
as we believe, the most useful and benevolent man
in the county; nor do we know of any one upon
whom the small profits of the Office could fall with
more usefulness. That man is ANDREW G. PRrcE,
the sick mans friend. If he will consent to run as
a candidate for County Trustee, he will confer q
favor upon many friends, thereby giving them an
opportunity to show their appreciation of his use
fulness while living.
