The Democrats Of Marion, the first
to move in the fight for the State
craftsmanship, In mass-meetiDg as
sembled on last Tuesday unanimous
ly passed a resolution endorsing Mr..
Ellyson for the position and in so
doing set the rest of the State good
example which they ought to follow,
regardless of the claims of everyone
else. He Is entitled to the honor for
the distinguished services he has
rendered his party in the past and
because of his eminent fitness to dis
charge the duties Of the position in a
way which will be satisfactory to the
great body of the people in the
future. Some of the politicians may
not want him, because of the political
prefe rment which they are hoping
for through the office for themselves
or their friends and many doubtless
are opposed to his reelection for that
purpose, but the people are for him
and should see that he gets the en-
dorsement he so justly deserves. Acco-
mac will speak out for him with no ur-
certain sound, If the convention which
meets to select delegates, respects the
sentiments of the people.

The first election, under the law
recently enacted by the Maryland
Legislature, requiring voters to pre-
pare their own ballots, was held at
Frederic city on Tuesday and result
ed in signal victory for the Demo-
cratic party. The result however, it
seems, was not a surprise to the
Democrats. They expected to be
benefited, by placing the control of
their election affairs in the hands of
intelligent voters, and were not dis
appointed. The conduct of the cleo
ton, it ia stated, was perfectly quiet
and orderly and to all appearances
so fair, that its working was not un-
satisfactory even to many Republi>
cans. The extent of the victory may
be inferred from the fact, that here
tofore the Republicans have usually
carried the city by majority of two
hundred or more.

The time expired Monday in which
applications for superintendent Of

Board comprised OF Governor Tyler,
Att orney- General Montague and
Superintendent of Public Instruction
Southall will meet soon to set a date
for the board to begin consideration
of the contests. In arriving at their
conclusion 8, the members of the
Board, of course, must depend upon
the judgment of Others, possibly Of
the in Influential citizen, who has the
biggest pull" with them and the
folly therefore.of submitting the ap>
pointments to them, instead OF to the
people, who are in closer touch with
the candidates and better qualified
for that reason to name the superin-
tendents is too apparent to be dis
puted. In saying this, we do so with
no intention of disparaging the
claims of either Of the worthy gentle
men, who are candidates for the posi-
ton FIR ON this county, but believe
that they will agree with us, that
those who are most interested in the
matter should decide it. Either Of
them doubtless will be satisfactory
to the majority of the people of the
county. but the Board for lack OF in
formal ion, might make an appoint
ment later which would not be so
agreeable to us and the appointing
power ought to be placed in other
hands.

Senator Daniel has written a letter
opposing the division of the school
tax of Virginia and gives his reason
for doing so in part as follows:
II beg leave to say that / think it
would be unfortunate for any such
provision to be put in our State Con-
stitution. Apart from all questions OF
constitutional and legal import, it
seems to me that the proposition is
lacking in just regard for the natural
relations of the State to its citizens.
1t would contain restriction upon
legislative powers unprecedented in
the United States. 1t would create
a running sore in the Commonwealth
that would be fruitful of constant
and irrepressible agitations. 1t would
put us out of sympathy with the
great body of our fellow-citizens
elsewhere, as well as large mass Of
them (both white and black in our
own Commonwealth. 1t would de-
stroy the hope of a stable, judicious
and satisfactory Constitution which
is now kindled in the breasts of our
people.
