PrRLIC SENTIMENT.

IL BllG SEN lAl IN J.
Republicans who are anticipating good
results from the next session ~ the
State Legislature need t. remember one
thing that is Of prime Importance unity
of action is essential in the Republican
delegation in that body The members
Of the legislature will be largely iii
huenced BY public sentiment They will
take their legislature cue from that
sentiment as thcy Interpret it.
II follows that i good, healthy and
unmistakable put,lic sentiment should I
lie manifest. What the people want,
not what a frw II them, or 4 selfish
minority II them want, but what the
mass If the people want ought q be
manifest The people need N talk and |
write and make tlit;r wishes about this |
important matter known There i dam
ger il allowing il false sentiment TO
prevail and there i danger that such
members Of the legislature will be de-
ceived by it, Ii does not require very
acute perception TO recognize that an
effort 10 create such false sentiment
is being made. The Democratic and
factonal Republican newspapers are fill
Of proofs Of it. Tho activity Of the
factional busybodics is proof Of ii. The
missionaries of faction, disruption and
defeat are III the teld button-huleing
every man whom they can get to listen
10 them, and they are pursuing their
evil work in the sllise af angcls-are
