Now THAT the Democratic pri-
maries have been called for Satur-
day next, il behoves our citizens,
in order to protect their interests,
to make a careful survey of the as
pirants asking for official position,
and select from the list, though
it may prove numerous, those who
are most likely and duly qualified
to subserve the interests of the peo-
pie of the county. All classes,
rich and poor, black or white, are
interested in the selection of Coun-
ty Commissioners and delegates
TO the Legislature. In the selec-
ton uf thoroughly competent men
to fill them, the voters of the
county should closely scruti-
nize the fitness and qualification
of each and every man who aspires
to fill these places, and not suffer
their interest to be jeopardized in
giving support to personal favor
ties for places that are of advan-
tsge only to the person seeking
them. The County Commission
ers should be sensible, discreet
men, of an economical turn, oppos-
ed to jobbery of all kinds and de-
voted to the interests and welfsre
of the county. The present board
of Commissioners is good one and
will be hard to duplicate, though
there are plenty of good men in
the county with whom to do it,
The thing is to set them. For
the first time in the history ot the
county three delegates will be Sc
lected to represent the county in
the councils of the State and enact
laws for the government of the
whole people thereof. The impor-
tanoe ofthe Legislative ticket will
be seen upon a moments refec-
tion. There is nothing which re-
bounds more to the credit OF a
county than intelligent honorable
representatives in the Legislature.
Men who have been residents OF
the county for years, conversant
with its and the States interest
should be selected and no others.
Factionists, jobbers and those who
want the place in order to make it
a stepping stone for better are
not the men the people want
They are seeking the place in
their own interest aud not in the
interest of the people OF the coun-
ty or State. We do not wish to
be understood as asserting that
any of the gentleman who are ask
ing to be sent to the Legislature |
are of the class described. 1t is
question for the people to solve as
to the character and competency |
of candidates, and for us as a
journalist to announce the princi-
Piles which should govern ibe Sc

Down in Pocomoke City, on

ton" at the hands of his fellow-citi-

such, that, even should he succeed

members of the county nominating

that the "Martha Blake" delega-
tion would be able to accomplish
nothing in behalf of the first dis
triot. But such possibility is
entirely too remote to be seriously
entertained. Aydelott, it is true,

pared to receive with open arms
the "doubtful voter" who is "nu-
merous" in the first district i; true
it also is that, by rich promises he
has secured the services of certain
wire-pulIers in his district desper
ate circumstances require desperate
measures, and the Colonel's mon
ey will fow like water on the day
of the primary election but We
have an abiding faith that enough
honest, decent Democrats will be
found in "old Coston's s" to re-
