PRACTICAL POLITICS.

In these days of practical politics 1t is
next to an inlpossibility for man to
reach State or district Office unless he
is connected with a combine. The good
old days when @every man toted his own
skillet have gone, perhaps forever, but
the recollection of them affords pleas
snrre. 1t would be refreshing for the
voter who has no strings ON him to be
able to vote for a man who seeks office
on Ills own merits and is independent OF
ciiques, one who has not resorted to in
! trigue to get a nomination, and hopse to
win because the people feel that they
can trust him. Such man, however,
does not get an elective Office often.-
Mansfield Journal.
Practical politics means get there,
and get there" means that to satiate
an ambition, to secure the job political
principles may be laid aside and old
friends sacrificed if need be for al
liances, even if questionable, give assur-
ance Of get there. This is the result
Of personal politics, the aggregation Of
interests whose aim is to get there" at
any cost While the good old days" will
never be repeated, there are indications,
strong and positive, that the people who
think are thinking resoluteiy in opposi-
tion to the combines, to the one man
power, to the aggregation of interests
which leave the people, the great ma
jority of the Democrats who vote and
carry elections for Democracy, in the
attitude of cyphers. II was this spirit Of
personal Of individual domination which
led to the opposition and the defeat of
the lottery whose power in its political
dictation had become insufferable and
and almost absolute. The spirit of CON
troll by the few must be met and crushed
as was the lottery. Ali power is from
the people and must rest in the people,
the great majority Of Democrats who
vote, and who, being tired Of cut and
dried programs, propose to resist and
70 insist on the right to govern.
