A TIMELY SUGGESTION.

It has been suggested by the press of Little Rock that candidates for the various offices do not make the canvass in the usual way this year. The reasons assigned for the pro- posed deviation from the old plan are these; It will cost tue candidates less money and not consume so much of the time of the people. It is pro posed that each candidate place his views fairly, squarely and fully be
 fore the people through the medium of printers Ink, and thus save them selves the enormous expense that attaches to a personal canvass, at the same time doing as much effect i've work as could be done if they saw and talked to each voter in the district or county, as the case might be. Besides, 1t is urged that, on ac- count of the shortage of crops last year and the consequent limited supply of provisions, the people would not be able to feed the great number that usually congregate at the public meetings. We believe the suggestion to let the people alone and allow them all the time this spring and summer, to work their crops to be good one and worthy the attention of the candidates, and we know that a card in your county paper or few thousand handbills, iudiclouslY distributed, will reach more people and command more at tention than all the public meetings and speeches that could be had.
