ELECTION THIS FALL

It is now generally conceded that
there will be a general election held
next fall for the election Of State
and county officers. The constitu-
ton is plain on the subject. and
while, if justice were done the re-
publicans, they would not be per-
mitted to hold State office for fifty
years, because they have held the
Territorial offices for about that
length of time. without a qualm OF
conscience, yet the democrats will
give them another chance next fall
in order to thrash them more severe
ly than they did on December 18th
last.
II is also generally conceded that
the present democratic officers will
be re-nominated. They should not
have to make primary campaign.
A canvass is very expensive, especi-
ally for State officers, and it would
not be fair not to re-nominate
them and give them an opportunity
of establishing an administration.
The governors office has been in
republican hands for so long that nc
man can correct all the existing sins
in that Office between now and jan
uary 1st, especially if he is compelled
to put in two or three months OF
that time campaigning.
The vote received by the State
ofiicisls last December is prima
facie evidence that they are the men
the people desire in office; therefore,
they should not be compelled to
make a primary campaign for the
coming election.
