OBSERVANCE OF THE SABBATH.

ton OF higher and greater Power-the

We speak not as a shepherd guiding a
flock, nor as a teacher training the

condemned by free-thinkers.
Were we to speak for ourselves, the

teachings at the mothers knee, would
overflow with rapturous acclaim of the
peaceful. quiet, prayful and thoughtful
days of boyhood. What nearer Heaven

MISPLACED CONFIDENCE.

| .a.L 80 i . !. .
1t Is the princiule. not the man for
which we have fought in the Senatorial
| campaign. In the beginning. we an
nounced our impartinlt.y. Voicing the
sentiment of our readers, the people,
| Democrats who look to the press us the
champion Of their rights, the bulwark
OF liberty, we demanded of the office
holders and managers, that although
they unanimously favored Mr.. Martin,
wore his collar and were his bond
slaves, they were primarily the agents
and servants OF the people, elected and
selected to serve all Democrats alike.
we assured the committee that though
they loved Mr.. Martin, or what Is
more the truth. feared the money
power" >behind him. they owed ale
glance to the people. and If they
could not do Justice they should resign.
| That between MIR. Martin and MIR.
| Tyler. they should show no preference,
| for such preference would be dsloyal,
dishonest and even Il betrayal OF the
confidence of the Democratic body that
had placed them in the management
ity. and honesty.
But above and beyond this, as I'M
portant and serious as 1T is, there lies
Il principle, which should, and will, be
protected by every free born American
and Nirginian with his life. 1t is his
right to representation with the choice
OF the representative. What sort OF a

with the party lash to vote for n COLI
mittee's selection? For whom shall we
vote. If not for the nominee? One is
promptly read out of the party If he
shows the least desire to assert his
right to select the candidate or object
to arbitrary ruling. Oh, no, you are
only good enough to vote, and if You
don't vote, out of the party you go! Is
this the Democracy that leaders"
were selected to manage? Are the peo-
pie to be censured because they will
not be slaves? Because they will not
bow the knee to Office holders who wish
to rc-elect themselves; submit to their
Vaccinations of the party machinery,
and this insubversion of every princi-
pie of manhood"
We know how to bow gracefully to
defeat. To take the hand Of the victor
in Il fair fight and crown him, and we
know as we'll how TO condemn those
who would rob us of our b!rth-rIght.
We Will have fair dealing in the party
or none at all. we stand upon the Issue
that has been drawn; upon he issue of
the PEOPLE OR THE OFFICE
HOLDERS! If the oflice-h holders are
the Democratic party then they can
we'll do without the people and from
