A LOCAL OPTION CONTEST

On Friday night number Of citi-
zens met in the hall over the drug store
of N. Wayt & Bro, to discuss the adj
visibility of petitioning the judge of
the hastings court to order an election
for vote on the question of license or
no license. We understand that it
was a unanimous agreement to ask for
the election and not waste too much
valuable time with the legislature in
an attempt to have present laws
amended. Under the local option law
the election cannot be held within
thirty days before or after any egu-
lar election and as the Sping election
is to be held on the 25th of May it is
not likely that the local option election
will come ahead of it. A petition
signed by one-fourth of the voters who
voted at the last regular November
election must first be obtained before
the court can enter the order. This
will consume considerable time and as
a matter of fact the election cannot
come in time to prevent the grdntii @
of licenses for the approaching license
year which is from May to April 80.
The ADVOCATES of the local option cleo
ton recognize this fact and agree that
they do not desire the election until
after the regular election in May.
They have, SO we are informed, enter
ed into this fight with the determine
ton to be fair They prefer to give
the saloon men an opportunity, in
case the people vote dry, to dispose of
their stock. We admire this spirit of
fairness and commend the temperance
people for it. AS for vote ON this
question, we have only to say that it is
a right given the people and if the
people want it no man should raise his
voice in opposition. The SPECTATOR
believes in Democracy, and Democra-
cy stands ready at any and all times to
let the people say what shall and what
hall not be done.

The readers of this paper will be pleas
ed to learn that there is at least one
dreaded diseasethat sciencehas been able
to cure in all it's stages, and that is Ca
tarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure known to the medical fra
ternity. Catarrh being constitutional
disease, requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken IN
ternally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroyingthe foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and as
sisting nature in doing its work. The
proprIetors have so muchfaith in its Gu
rative powers, that they offer One Hun
dred Dollars for any case that it fails to
cure. Send for list of testimonials.

Mr. Editor, Dear Sir-I notice in your pa
per of March 14th, card calling upon me
to announce myself candidate for Com
missioner Of the Revenue for Riverheads
district In answer to said call. | beg leave
to say that l would deem 1t great honor
to serve my fellow citizens in any capac-
ty they may choose to call me. / hartily
concur in the opinion expressed by Many
Voters that no man should have life ten
ure in Office, and that the various county
and district offices which are of so much
importance and nearest to the people,
should be by right more generally distribu
ted But under existing circumstances and
considering the shortness of time between
this and the Primary election, l most res
pectfully decline to make the announce
ment with the promise, however, should
circumstances be different in the future
and l am called upon by my friends I
shall deem it my duty to serve them.
Very respectfully

We hear great deal said about Mr..
Bryan reading Democrats out of the
party. The class of Democrats Mr..
Bryan is objecting to read themselves
out of the party and now want to
come back and get control of it.
These fellows are sharp set, but not
sharp enough.
