iings in each county.
The only reason given yet against
holding q preliminary convention
OF Reformers worthy of notice is
the ono given by Gov. Tillman in
his interview in the daily papers
on the 25th instant. He takes the
position that ono of our demands
IN 1880 was the holding of State
primary in which our people could
vote tor governor and other State
officers, after 8 campaign in which
the candidates discussed the issues
before the people, and that to hold
a March or Spring convention
would DO inconsistent on our part
Others agree with tho Governor in
this view. At first blush it looks
plausible enough, but those hold
ing that evidently fail to sec the
actual situation.
We have no direct primary now,
and tho people, whom voting, can
only vote for delegates ropresent-
ing q candidate. Take q county
that has twelve delegates in the
State convention, and suppose
thoro will bo five Reform candi-
dates for governor; thoro would be
just sixty Reform candidates for
delegates. And then would come
in the complications with the nu-
morous candidates for State Off
GERS which would open tho way for
an endless amount Of trading and
log-rolling that would bo certain
to loavo us in tho soup.

! Mr.. EDITOR: 1 would like K
ask my friends a few question,
through tho JOURNAL. as it is toe
dry and cold to fox hunt.
Fello w-citizens, do you ever
think to ask. yourselves, like the
drunken Congressman did. "where
am | at2" And how in tho d-l did l
get here, and what am I to do about
it, how am l to give satisfaction to
conscience and to posterity?" I
think these are important ques-
tions to ashland why have we
not dono so many years ago. In
tho faco of tho advice of Jackson,
Jefferson, Calhoun and Lincoln,
we have voted and whooped for
mon as Congressman who have
virtually riveted the chains of sla-
very on us, by giving the right to
ISSUE and coin money as thoy
please, and thon squandor it or
themselves and few pets. They
give us Il circulation, somo four to
six dollars por capita 10 do tho
business Of this great country on,
and then spend about $500 pcr
capita annually in running the
government L tales s!t: $2QS, % per
Mdy to run the Prcsidcnt's Office
$l37. 90 por day for his salary only.
Tho tariff imposed on goods
would almost amount to $500 per
capita, and even more, if tho peo-
ple wero ablo to consume as thoy
would like to.
Let us como together and try tC
fix up somo answer, if it is posi-.
BILE, that will givo satisfaction or
this point to tho children who arc
growing up around us. / do no
wish to discourage any as to thu
impossibility of satisfactory an
swor-and hope but fear it will b'

clean breast Of it, and acknowledg,
We aro d---d fools. I foel for my
self just II woo bit oasy, as hav,
kicked little; but must confess
not enough to- give self satisfac
ton. We arc curious creatures
Thoro are those who toll us tC
''gape sinner and swallow" and we
gape every timo and gulph it down
it matters very little whothor thero
is ovon any bait on the hook. We
tax ourselves almost to starvation
to build railroads for wealthy in
dividuals or corporations.
