That is the whole issue ,5aS it is said
that we ought to be magnanimGIs and geu.
erous These are noble traits of character
In any man or party, and I trust may
never be heard raising my voice against
their proper exercise but let us be careful
that we don't mistake magnanimity and
generosity for silly and perncious seuti-
mentalism. They are different things
Ono does for the domain of poesy, but in
the practical affairs of the law and in any
thing so intensely practical as politics it will
not do. Do not let us degenerate these
high and noble qualities into pulling sen.
timentalism.
THE POLITICAL MILLENNIUM
1t has been said that the political mil
lenium is not far off, thar the Republican
party Is not going to run an opposition
ticket to the State ticket I hope that the
State ticket will not suffer itself to be mis-
led into position of false security by any
such siren illusions, promises or songs. -
They may indeed paralyze the strength of
the ticket by promising to run nothing
against it, but While the ticket is in state
of supposed security this cunning monster
will run in candidates enough to get control
OF our Legislature, and we cannot afford to
lose sight Of this danger.
APPREHENsIoNs OF DIVISION.
learned since came here that there
are great apprehensions that We will have
serious divisions among ourselves on account
OF the number Of candidates who have
come forward, but the practical good sense
OF the people of Edgefeld will not permit
suoh'a result. As to the number of can
didates being proof of division, hail il
rather as assign of returning interHI Iin
