II has been said that there IL over
whelming power when the people move.
The result of the late election shows that
the people of Preston county do not be-
lieve that an office purely local In i,s
character, should be made political hs-
rapgue. The people of the county are
being educated, becoming more intelligent,
believe that the people should be the rep
rcsentatives of themselves, and not po-
litical convention WHICH is always moro or
less composed Of rings and cliques. Mr.
Frederick said through the columns of
both county papers that he was no candi-
date Of any political party, and that he
was asking for the Office as he would ask
for a school. The people Investigated his
proposition, elected him, and now he is
the representative OF the citizens Of Pres
ton county, and his Obligations as Super
intendent OF Free Schools are 10 the cii-
gems Of Preston county, aud not % any
political party. As a teacher, we believe
10 rigid examinations held in strict cOnfor-
nifty 10 that which IN expected to be
taught in our common schools. We take
90 stock in such questions az VINO Wac
Sbakspeorep What was Black Friday 2
or the Stamp Act of 1875 We are IN IA
Yor Of raising the educational standard,
better school teachers, better wages, rigid
but fair examinations. We congratulate
2Mr. Frederick on his success, and also The
1citizens Of the county for having given us
a man whom the teachers can follow with
out being ridiculed. MOUNT TklOMPH.
