Special Cor. State Chronicle.
GLEN VIEW, N. c., March 28.-
The time las come when the people of
our country ought to look after their
interests by placing in office men
honest and competent; true and cour-
ageous men, who will know their duty,
and knowing, will perform it at all
hazards and under all circumstances.
One great trouble is that comparative |
ly a very few citizens take suffi-
cient interest in political affairs to
place in office always the most capable
and desirable men. Another difficulty
is that too many of our best men are
either averse to ''dabbling in po
litics" or are so engaged with
other affairs that they object to becom-
ing candidates for office. The time
has certainly come when all good,
patriotic citizens should take a deep
interest in politics, and not leave their
interests SO much in the hands of
demagogues, monopolists, plutocrats,
selfish office-seekers and political trick
sters.
The time is also at hand when
more of our best and ablest men should
be willing, if necessary, to make sacri-
fees and accept nominations for
Office, and especially as members of
the State legislature. In the past,
in many instances, and far too often,
the people have not been careful
enough in making nominations for
both houses of the general assembly.
These are perilous times indeed and
many now holding office and seeking
office would do we'll to put away all
selfish aims and labor for the good Of
country, and if need be, for the sake OF
,, harmony and in the interest of good
government and the welfare of all ou1
people, step aside from the race for
office and help to place in office the
men most willing and competent tt
serve and properly represent the people
The hour has come too when W.
should eschew "personal politics,
when all good citizens should forge
that they have friends or relatives in tn
e race for political office, and regard
e less of the "claims" of favored few
and the selfish wishes of noble PARROT
who have worked so hard for the part
/ and so little for the good of the people
u concentrate upon the very best men t
u be found everywhere for the variou
j. offices to be filled by the coming elet
o tions of this year, 1892. 1t behoove
e us all, as good citizens, to 60 to wor
e now, for now is the time when we ar
S on the eve Of nominating convention
l. and primary elections. Now is tn
q time for the people, the masses, ever.
N where, to place in nomination onl
le l'e thoroughly honest and competent mel
D. and to select as delegates to State, Coz
r1 gressional AID other conventions onl
IS the best men, men who will 60 to the!
is conventions with an eye single, not
N the desires of few favorite politician
rs but to the interests and welfare OF a
nj the people of our whole country. Unit
er that has been done let us cease tn
IS clamor about "sub-treasury," "Thil
party, "''free silver" Alliance" &
Let's nominate the right men fro
Governor and Congressman down, al
tn let's elect them, and these right al
be righteous men will do what is right al
A best for US all and for poor sufferi1
is humanity all over our beloved Ian
as When the wicked rule the peoE
he mourn. When the righteous are
10, authority the people rejoice.
