TIMELY SENTIMENTS.

We fully approve the sentiments con-
tained in the following editorial and letter
taken from the columns of our esteemed
contemporary the Perryville Record, and
we cordially commend them to the favor
able consideration of our readers:
"We are in receipt of most gratifying
letter from one of the candidates on the
republican ticket in recognition of our re-
cent comlaents upon the ticket which that
party has put in the field and we take the
liberty of printing the letter in another
column.
We appreciate this communication, COM
ing as it does from such an eminent source,
as evidence of the fact that our efforts to be
fair and just are recognised and appreci-
ated.
The aim of the Record is always to he
honest and truthful with its readers in
political matters as well as all others, and
as we have said, it is most gratif, ing to
note that our endeavors have so far, met
with success.
We shall from time to time undoubtedly
have something to say on political affairs,
but shall be actuated solely by our con
cepton of what is right and best for the
interest of the public, and not by mere
par tisan desire to see the success of any
political organization.
In strictly local affairs we maintain that
party principles play but small part III the
and we believe that this belief is rapidly
becoming wide spread and deep loote,. amd
in this growing conviction, and consequent
freedom of thought, and independence in
voting we think we see the most hopeful
sign in the political horizon
AothnI will goso far roanrdS brin.i ng
the political bosses and inanlpulators To -
proper appreciation of the igLt~ and inter
ests OF the people and il s,nr II proper
administration of public affairs, than III,
wholesome knowledge that the people with
an eye upon their actions air doing thin
own thinking and will vote AS they thnh.
In othcI words that our votcIs have man
no paIty's yoke.
man SHOULD glory in his fl, c,;":m and
independence of thought and his RICH, to
vote his sentiments urtlanmcllrd by
political pleiudices or party affiliations
when his Lest judgment dictates othr-
wise.
The Rccord claims no especial credit FOR
ha, ing given expression to the sentiment,
that Mr.. Bond finds worthy Of commend
alton. 1t simply performed duty it feels
that it owes to its readers t ut of speaking
the plain honest truth. What we said Of
TIE Republican ticket like that which we
sud Of the Democratic ticket, we believed 10
be true.
