Maine Delegation in the House Of Rep
rnsentatives Rotation.

To commence. We say distinctly that 'h'.
Article has no reference TO mn. and !. not
designed to favor or injure the prospects Of
any a.piran, to Congressional bOnors. We
20 for principle. without regard to men,
policy which we believe has sufficient rca'
con. to justify il. indspendcn, OF all personal
considerations. Two years aso, an entire
change was made in the House delegation
In Consrrs. from this State. In some OF
she districts the old member. were no, can
dita,e., but in all whcrs they were. they
were defeated 10 the conventions. Thi. made
IN entire new delegation from this State.
So FAR as We know. the present members
have served their constituent. aecep;ably
bot without, regard TO th:s. We understand
certain wIre-workers having a CENTRAL Junto
not a thousand miles from the State Capital,
have arranged programme to throw over
board the whole delegation, aud again send
On entire pew set. There are valid reasons
Why two Of the pre-en, members should not
be re elected. Mr.. Walton, having been
appointed Judge Of the Supreme Court,
creates vacancy in the 81 District, and
leave, the Cell open for the Ion: term and
by new classification We lOse member.
hence ba, four Of the old delegation oal Be
returned.
The question comes W, is there any special
or valid reason why these four members
should no, DC re elected II there Is, rev
men should b. taken. OF this, IL is no. our
province to Judge, and we express no OPin'
ion. II there is not, then rs matter OF
sound policy, 1t is the opinion Of many Of
COR beet citizens, they should 90 back. he
cause other gentlemen desire to supereede
them and sc, their places, is iha, sufficient
reason FOR a change
Those who have lad experiences in Con-
grvs.ional matters very well know tina,
member during bis frs, term in Congress
ean DO bu, little, e1cep, look on and learn.
Experience is almO., everything to member
Of Congress. Every man who zoe. into the
House OF Representatives is Obliged to build
NJ for hinselfa reputation. When this Is
acquired. he i, then fitted TO DC OF service to
III. constituents. When a man has worked
himself into an influential position IN Con-
ere-s. no policy is more suie,da! than to dis
place him for a new, inexperienced man. 4
State in Congress is known Only by its Rep
rs-en,au,v.. Ard il is not an easy matter
90 become familiar with the absuuse and
complicated Rule. Of the House. IL requires
years Of study and practice to make good
parlimentaran, or al expert tac,ician IN
ths, body.
We repeat. why should Maine be forever
changing and supereeding her faIt.iUi men,
bers Of Congress? Why should such men
- Arson Z. Morrill, be forced to stand one
side. at the expiration Of 4 single term, 10
give place TO men Of no Congressional ex.
psrienes whatever? II may crafty the in
ordinate ambition OF political aspirani', bat
/, works death to the State and all It's ma
terial interests.
