1t is a healthy and encouraging
sign that the newspapers of this
State are engaged in the discussion
of measures to be adopted and mer
to be selected at the next general
election. 1t is only by means of a
thorough canvass that the public
sentiment can be aroused to the
necessity of at that time adopting
effective measures to squelch the
ring, who have not waited until now
to concoct, and plan the ways and
means of perpetuating its power
1t has been scheming ever since the
last election was over and we are
told by some that it is too soon to
inaugurate the campain against it.
1t would just suit them-meaning
the rings and politicians-to wait
until all their plans were perfected,
and then we suppose we would be
told that it was too late to do any
thing.
LII the struggle upon which we
understand the people of this State
to have entered to free themselves
from the incubus of machine politics,
it were we'll for them to know that
the fight is to be a bitter one-a
battle to the death, and the sooner
they, the people who pay the taxes,
organize and give the rings to un.

better it will be for them. A we'll.

We may as we'll say right here,
that we are with and for the'people
in this struggle. This paper has no
friends to reward or enemies to pun

affection or the hope of reward."-
We want to see the best men get

is any danger that the unworthy and
incompetent may slip in by the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. used so success
fully to give the premium to cheek
and the cold shoulder to ability and
worth, we will express our opinions
freely and frankly.
There are necessarily methods
that belong to politics as a profes-
sion which are proper and legitimate.
If the people will have full oppor
tunlty to express their choice fairly,
we shall yield to their verdict what
ever it may be. If means are en-
ployed to stife the public voice or
thwart the public choice we war
upon such means.
