Senator Thomas S. Martin and
Judge Samuel w. Williams addressed
a small crowd of the voters of North
ampton at Eastville, on Monday. In
regard to the speech of Senator Mar
tin there is very little to report. 1t
was the same old speech and full OF
the same extravagant claims of his
distinguished services to the state
which he is daily making throughout
the State. The speech of Judge Will
liams, though, was an able one ana
worthy of the close attention and the
genuine applause it received. In
presenting his claim for the office OF
Acknowledgement he discussed the
school book question, declaring for
the single list, and took an advanced
position on the subject of better
schools and better pay for the teach
ers. In the course of his remarks, he
stated, that his district gave the
largest Democratic vote in the cleo
ton last fall and as the only repre-
sentative from that district appealed
to the sense of fairness of the people
of Northampton that his claim should
be recognized. His speech was vel
received and doubtless, made for him
many supporters in that county,

A number of the cities and counties
in the State acting upon the sugges-
ton of Chairman Ellyson, 1t is grau-
fving to learn, have assumed the eX-
pense of the State primary to be held
August odd and the most of them, 1t Is
believed, will reach favorable con-
clusion in the matter. Accomac Is
included in the list of those which
have responded favorably and all
should be willing to bear their part OF

of making nominations is for the
benefit of the people, was adopted be-
cause of their demand for it and they
will not allow it to be a failure, if the
county committee in each county Will
do their duty in the matter by giving
them the opportunity to bear the ex-

A challenge sent to Senator Martin
bv Governor Montague to meet nm
in Joint debate at Manchester tonight
has been declined and the indications
are that Mr.. Martin does not desire
to meet him on any other occasion.
Mr.. Martin, in fact, says that he has
arranged and outlined his campaign
and prefers to carry out his own ar
rangements and speak at times and
places of his own selection without
reference to the appointment OF others
He should have said, perhaps, that ne
does not desire to have the people en-
lightened through joint debate as
to the issues in the present campaign
or it may be is unwilling for the peo-
pie to Judge between him and his OPP
ponent and their respective claims for
the office or realizes that he has not
the ability to meet Mr.. Montague
Discretion is sometimes the better
part of valor and Mr.. Martin, doubt
less. thinks it is in declining joint
