The time for holding county
convention, to nominate ticket to
be voted for in November next, is
approaching. What are those who
desire TO see the Democracy defeat
ed doing? Are you quietly lying
OH your oars, expecting to succeed ;
or are you formulating in your minds
a plan upon which all those opposed
to bourbonism, can unite The op-
position is losing no time; they are
already at work, flushed with their
late victory in Martinsburg. A
prominent bourbon was heard to
say, ave can elect any one we nom
inate." Has it come to this pass
in Berkeley County, when few boss
es can gather in a room and say who
shall be nominated and who shall
not, and then make their brags that
they will be elected without a pro
test? We think not. The people
are interested in other questions
than simply sending two men to
the Legislature to vote for j. N
Camden for the Senate. Now is the
time to begin to think. Are you
going to let the election go by de
fault, or will you close up the ranks
and enter the fight to down your
bourbon enemies. We shall see.

The Rt. Rev. G. w. Peterkin de-

Christ Jesus came into the world to
save sinners, of which He was Chief"

to control party organization ID

Indeed, the situation is even worse.
The henchmen of this candidate,
emboldened by the power Of money
and encouraged by the present pow

submit to their orders and to their
dictation. These men have the ei'
frontery to tell us that By fnesse
and deception they have stolen the
reins of party organization and IN

The corporation election Monday
was holly contested by the Demo-
crats,-every party leader, office
holder and office seeker, was out
and at work as hard as if it had
been a County or State election. On
the other hand, the Republicans cut
their ticket and were defeated. They
had good men but every false and
mean report imaginable was resur-
rected to injure them, and success
crowned such efforts, if there is any
satisfaction in that. If the infiu-
ences exerted by the Democrats was
not from Camden sources, it was a
hard fight for town privileges. The
Sherman Invincibles deserve credit
for the active part they took, and
give promise of some good men for
the party in the future. Mr.. Miller
received at least one hundred Dem
ocratic votes, but there were too
many Of his own party who Lad
business on the other side. If the
Republicans want to succeed in
Martinsburg they must have men
who can meet the opposition on its
own ground and fight it with its
own weapons. Few Republicans
care to descend TO that kind of
work. The people have expressed
their wishes, and the Democrats
represent them. Republicans have
nothing to regret, and no response
bility to bear. We shall do the best
we can the next time and every
time.
The Republican candidates work
ed manfully against odds and dis
advantages. Mr.. john G. Hutsler
was put into the field by the party
and then left to hoe his own row
against half dozen workers on the
other side. He held his own pretty
we'll, tor man having no experience
or inclination for politics. The party
should be under obligations to him
for making the fight. In the de-
feat of Mr.. Grozinger the corpor.
alton loses a watchful councilman, a
man that can not be moved from
the right by love or money. His
record in the Council will bear in
spection and comparison. 1t must
have been some of his constituents
who wanted a capsule to take their
medicine in. Like the countryman,
many of the G.. o. 2. would prefer
taking the stuff plain and sending
the capsule to the home Office of the
party as a useless show of extraya-
gance. The Lord save us from pol.
itics; it makes strange bedfellows,
and not so strange after all when
we see " Captain" and "Dickey" go.
ing down life's stream together, with
a party chorus chanting "Doml,
nus vobiscum" after them.
