Political Points.

EDITOR News: The time of election
draws close and the head of the office
seeker hobs serenely up aud no one
says what we need to make our state
more prosperous. None of the county
papers advocate any principle only TO
elect tour own men," Are we to send
men to the Legislature to represent us,
or are they to 60 there to do as they
please? II has generally been conced-
ed by all parties that we need a new
constitution and are we TO have 1t!
Are we TO send one man to vote yea
and another to vote nay as was the
case in our last representation? II we
as a county cannot send two men to
vote alike on such important questions
it is time to quit complaining of 'plu-
tocrats." 1t is time for our would-be
solons TO speak our on questions OF
division and lot us know where they
stand. VOTER.
