altuation in relation to the election Of
United States Senator next winter The
assertion is made that Mr. Salisbury has

senator Gray would he returned. What
n easy thing IL is to sit back and terrorizs
and put 1t on paper. How convenient to
make assertions without any foundation
hayn't any doubt but the first assertion
Is true, but really can not believe the lat
GER one, as l can not exactly understand
he former. for my understanding OF the
matter was that where Mr.. salisbury was
elected in s3 that be was not to ask foi
the place any more. This certainly was
ne tacit understanding OF the people in this
county. The members Of the Legislature
who we're known as anti-Saulsbury men

their dictatorial commands9 Shall we
brow aside our own views and ideas and

nd say" gentlemen, so far can you have

crest of the general welfare is at stake the
interest of no individual ought to take pre-
cedence. We have done enough for you
| aud now you must do for us or we will
know the reason why. This is no blind
mans buff game but it is a great issue on
which our lives, our liberty, aud our pro

The young men OF this generation are
awakening TO the fact that they have ideas
and views OF their own and any thing that
bstructs or attempts to binder their ad
vancement will be torn wide. and at with
3ut fear OF threat5 from any body. We
want representative men. We want M n
OF advanced idsas and men who are cnpa-
Die Of keeping pace with the times This
idea that when en- edict has been issued by
certain set ~ men, that no one is to Say
nay is thing Of the past. We mean tc
assert our views and dare maintain them
The time has come when men Of ability and
not availability must be accepted. Wt
do i intend to have thrust upon Us me
whose usefulness is a thing OF the past. W.
nave tired upon the shadow OF ghost long
enough, and now the stern and bold fea
t1red fact stares us Ia the face. that IL we
wish to secceed and advance we must moi
stand for custom nor past affiliations. W.
can endure come things for length of time
but absurdity and arbitrary commands WI
refuse to acknowledge. Il is presumptuouI
to bring forward the name OF Mr.. Sauls-
bury. The people OF this state have in
dulged him long enough. He makes rC
disturbances nor creates any surprises il
his official capacity.
We want a man who ia not imbued will
ideas Of the long ago, but a young, ambi
tious. able man. One who will push thl
interest of the state and nation. One whC
will make his mark and keep up the
renown OF the Diamond State. We hav,
been twice honored with a Secretary oi
