Relieves All Men Are Liars.


AS for truth, that is a purely modern inven-
ton. For myself do not believe there is any
such thing. We find DO record of truth in the
ancient classics but the literature of Greece
and Rome, the traditions of all nations, are
chock full of lying. Truth and perpetual mo-
ton are locked up in the safe of the Creator and
we don't know the combination. 1t is legendari-
ly buried in well, and the ordinary artesan
tube lets up so little that it is very difficult to
recognize it. The fact is that there is no proof
of the existence of truth at all, except by infer
ence, from the fact that a man knocks you
down when you call him a liar.

The Candidate for Secretary of State.

Gibson County Leader
Hon Robert Mitchell sought the Republican
nomination to the Office of Secretary of State,
but in spirit of candor and honesty that
challenged admiration. He resorted to no
ways that are dark" or ''tricks that are vain,
but granger fashion frankly avowed his purpose
to be candidate for the position and trusted to
the favor of discriminating, sensible con-
stituency to put him in the way of getting there,
and since the convention saw fit to accord to
him the prize, Gibson county must be recog-
nized as sharing the honor with him, and re-
spond in November with handsome majority
for him and the ticket.

The Republican Young Men.

The young men are the life of the Republican
party, and in this campaign much is expected
from them. There is nothing to retard action
on the part of the young men in this State. The
convention very wisely placed at the head of the
party two men of the type that any young man
can cheertully support without lowering his
pride and dignity. They are young III years,

stenben Republican.

The Republican chances for success in this
campaign are much more favorable than they
were in that of 1880. The close contest in 1876
did not tend to inspire confidence in Republican
ranks; rather it served to impress the people
with the belief that crisis was at hand. Close
in 1876 the general belief was that it would be
still more so in 1880 The result was great
victory. The crisis was safely passed, and the
Republican party is once more on the way to re-
heated victories

Democrats in Favor Of a New Constitution.

SheIbyviIIe Republican.
We think there ought to be a State convention
called to enable the people to obtain certain re-
forms which they have long demanded. In many
respects the present Constitution might be i'm
proved. The Democrats favored the calling of
this convention few years ago, but now have
glish reform recently adopted. We have all the
Democratic arguments we want in favor of call
ing constitutional convention and need prepare
little of anything ourselves on the subject. All
we have to do is to quote Gray's message and
the able speeches of Senators Jason Brown and

success, and when displayed fervently thus

the people to this day regard him as one who when

to insult, injure and irritate the people within
his jurisdiction. This will be a good year for

MRssRs. EDITORS:
The writer Of an article headed "Reform"
In your issue Of last week, uses some pret-
ty strong language. He seems TO be i'm.
pressed with the idea that all men who
seek public office are professional polite
ians, and therefore they are "vile crea-
tures," "brutes" and 'pests." In this
cannot agree with him. No man can be
elected to public position without first
indicating his desire for It. II he simply
announces his name in the papers as
candidate for any office, he Is seeking It,
and this alone, according to your corre-
spondent, would make him a professional
politician and unworthy Of the support Of
decent people. II the time ever comes
that Offices shall seek men, should hail
the advent Of such a reform with Joy, but
II will never be so, and we must therefore
make the best Of things as they are. am
opposed to the system Of canvassing that
has grown up in this country, by which
treating and making promises that can
never be fulfilled are made important
levers for securing preferment, but I can
not agree that all men who are candidates
use these measures, nor do believe that
all candidates are the low creatures that
your correspondent would make them.
Such practices as are described by him are
violations Of the law, and there is ample
provision for their punishment; but IL the
people permit such violations to go un-
noticed, whose fault is it but theirs IL there
be so much political corruption2 am
not writing for nor against any particular
candidate, and believe that every man
should be considered innocent until proven
guilty. 1t is a common practice to circu.
late reports about candidates for office,
and II these reports were to be taken as
true, and the subject of them made to suf.
fer thereby, no one could ever be elected,
because no one ever ran for Office who did
| not have falsehoods told of him. II any
specific charge of violation of the election
laws can be proven against candidate
the law should be enforced, but do moi
believe that any good result can come
from denouncing all aspirants for Office as
dishonest men, and placing them in the
category of professional politicians, and
unworthy OF the support Of the people.
