It is a question of men now as much as
principles, and we must fight not only for
these political measures of which we
see the whole country so sadly in need,
but for men in public life in the state
who have ability, honesty, and con-
science-but conscience first. The present
administrator y1as none Of these virtues.
The next administration, if republican,
will not have them. The only way to get
the administration into the hands of de-
cent men is for decent men to get to-
gether and vote for them. That's logic.
The present administration, the product
Of fusion and republicans, is not decent.
That's NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Progress.
But Hancock is generally charged with
a heinous offense which, if guilty, should
cause his removal from this as well as
he may hold. The people believe him
guilty. His own statements, so far
given the public, have failed to remove
this belief. If what he has given the di-
rectors satisfies them Of his innocence,
and it is withheld from the public. that
public will STILL be slow to believe that
one whose defense, involving so much:
cannot be made to them, is still entitled
to their confidence. The people want no
innocent mans blood: They want no
guilty nan to escape the punishment his
conduct merits.-Raleigh Post.

that he has been running on wind? Will
it convince him that it is contrary to the
spirit of American liberty that one man
power should exist in a state whose Deo-
pie are imbued with the spirit of indie

government? Will it be an ~eye-opener
that will enable him, in some degree, to
see himself as others see him and cause
him to mend his ways, or will he cling
with desperate ~tenacity to his inherent
