Scattering Ideas from s


Mn. EDITOR -"Sca,terbrain'vA ~ -
press few ideas through the W NE rN
like to como to the point at oncS
ore so scattered that you must allowy
latitude.
II is supposed that most newspaper sen, =
about election time; want Office; but ASH
do not, and what is moro 1 don't intepual1
have aey Office; but would like to see on EdSl
islative halls filed with men of the true grit.-
As for our elective county Offices, they are we'll
filed and can't he improved upon, unless il
would be to let some clever competent man take
Mr.. Duncan place, and let MIR Duncan stcp m
n httle higher; 50 you've got my sentiments on
that subject. There is no use in turning n man
out just rs he has become properly qualified to
fill his Office merely to crafty the whims of some
designing Office seekers
Mr.. Editor, just step aside and let me ask vol,
few questions-or one question with number
of points:
Did you know that "log-roilihg" time is at
hand; did you know that the old cry of tho
Court house ring" is being sung about in
spots did you know that there are worse rinrs
than tho "Court house rings" did You know
that schemes are already being laid to sut fo--
ward particular pets; did you know that there
Is beginning to be a great hue and cry about this
mans qualifications and that man 8 unnonu,or-
ny qua you know that Mr.. A. or b. would ,;ko
10 60 10 ;he Legislator jest BECAUSE ii seems bin
dld you know that true Statesmen and p,tr;o,.
are getting very scarce; did you know that thc
man who is ever ready to find fauIt with III.
doings OF others is not always q saint bim..,e.
VI" you hho" that the county needs true and
.ried men to represent her in the Senat. and
Ho"se did you know that unless. the Demo
cratic Clubs 60 to work in earnest, for tbe oood
y me country, tho dissenters, with the mid of
the lated calf the fine pig and tanglc-ler whiy-
KEY packed by scheming RAIDS, will step into
power again; did you know hat every true pa
'tio' Is inc friend of the poor did YOU know
'ha' Tie iaboring class should he nursed and
cared for: did y9SGk0NA ha>,eyery candidate,
like every office holder, is a target for everv-
body to shoot at; did you know that ,ro.,..
NAMES perfect IN shooting, US in other things
a'u you know that the primary election plan
won't cure "log rolling" but that it will rather
aggravate the evil did yeu know that the con-
Vehtion plan, properly managed, is the best for
both rich and poor; did you know that the fault.
hhders are chiefly those who won't take any in.
'erest In the neighborhood club meetings did
you Know that if every mistake in n public SER
want or private individual shall serve TO damn
him politically, the old Gcneralismo, or psliti-
cai deVil' will have to enlarge his H.?
But, Mr.. Editor, enough of this. Let tho
county club SO arrange as to have oil the Town
snip clubs elect Lsir nominating delegates on
the 'ag'e day, and let that day be ips..two days
before the day for Nominating, and tlcn'there
viii be no time for well organized ..log rolinp.'s
Let every member of each club attend his club
meeting and vote for their best or most reliable
men as delegates to the nominating conyention
let these delegates be men of integrity and
Judgment, such as n political clog roller or
liking Master would not dare to approach and
men, too, who have no ares of their own IN
grind, and Ill venture the prediction that we'll
have a set Of nominees wsr;hy the support Of
the people generally.

objection to the last delegation from Union.-
