The Brandon News, in discuss
ing the qualifications of candidates
for office, seems to have struck
the keynote, judging from the
way the following is being repro.
duced by the State press:
Nearly every day we hear talk
OF probable candidates for the
various county Offices, and before
the first of next year the campaign
will be under good Roadway. The
question of competency and hon
esty should be the sole standard Of
a mans fitness for these positions
and when our people select their
ohcers on the same basis that
their sensible business men select
their employees, the day of the
smllingdemagogue will pass away
and the most competent and can.
able men win secure the place.
The idea that a man is to be chosen
Tor ONCE simply because he is a
clever fellow and needs the place
should be relegated to the rear

Much interest, says the jackson
correspondent of the New Orleans
States, is being manifested in po-
litical circles at the capital in the
effort to induce Gen, Thosas G..
Catchings to enter the race for
governor next, year, and many
fiattering assurances are given
that be would receive a warm
support. 1t is not believed here,
however, that Gen. Catchings
would care to give up the more
lucrative position of district coun-
sci of the southern Railway for
gnbernatorial honors, and it will
require much persuasion to in
duce him to change his mind from
the declaration made after leaving
Congress that he was out of poll

Mr.. oInsy's Great Speech.

The speech delivered last Sat
urday night in Boston was one o
the most notable that has beef
: delivered i'll the present campaign
1t is not going too far, in fact, t,
; say that it will probably attract
4 more attention and produce !,
decided effect than any other.
No previous arraignment in re.
cent months Of the Republican
party in general, and in particular
the conduc: Of those ward. Of the
Republican party, the coal barons,
has been at once so logical and 90
scathing. ~
Mr.. Olney at the outset laid
down the great principles that
"the vital principal az well as the
distinguishing merit of our politi-
cal institutions consist in liberty
regulated by law -,
This Is a truth which we cannot
keep too clearly in mind and which
has become woefully neglected and
obscured in recent times. Mr.. o.
ney states a historic fact when he
says that, with the exception of
the two Cleveland administrations,
we have had for more than forty
years course OF government that
has carried us far from the stand
ards which were formerly consid-
cred salutary and even neces sary |
to the safety of the republic.
He then proceeded to consider
where it has landed us as respects
liberty and law.
In view of these new and leyolu-
tionary departureof administration |
he declares that ''the signs of the
times are that under the regime of
the Republican party and through |
the national government, forty |
years of partnership with the pro- /,
tected industries, we have ,me t
