SHOULD BE INSTRUCTED.

This paper made "a few feeble re-
marks in recent issue, as to in
structing delegates to the National
Cons ention. The delegates should be
instructed for one of the candi-
dates, and when the Tazewell county
mass meeting is held to select dele
gates to the State Convention, the
delega tion should be clearly and posi-
lively ordered to vote first and last,
as unit, for some one of the men
whose names are now before the peo-
pie. OF course, these instructions
should not be so iron-clad as to pre-
vent the delegates voting for a second
choice, but certainly they should
have iron-clad isntructions as to first
choice for candidate. To turn the
State delegates loose in Ba ltimore, to
be guided according to circumstances
and developments. will be to run the
risk of having the enti re State hand
ed over to a Congressm ans or Senat-
or's favorite candidate. Do the peo-
pie of the State know who they want
as their National leader? Have the
people preference as between the
four or five prominent men whose
names will be before the Convention?
l. so, let their choice be expressed
when the County Conventions are held
to send delegates to the State Con-
vention. If motif the Democrats of
the State would just as soon have one
man as another, if they have no
choice and are willing to have some
party boss select the candidate and do
their thinking, why, then elect the
delegates with instructions to do as
they please or as the "Machine" may
order.
In so important matter as the
selection of candidate for the great
office of President of this great coun-
try-one who in all proba bility will
be elected, we feel sure that most
men-most wise men, at least, would
rather be instructed, and there by
shift the responsibility from his to
the shoulders of the party as a whole.
The County Conventions and the State
Convention as we'll, should be post
poned as late as possible, until about
all the evidence as to each candidate
is cearl y before the people, then pick
out the best man, elect set of dele
gates to go to Baltimore who will
cast the States vote for that man.
and keep on casting until he is nomi-
mated or all hope is gone, and then
select the next best man, and do like
wise.

full and efficient officer If memory is
not at fault, General Ayers was SEN
fenced to Jail while Attorney-G
erai, for contempt, in some Supreme
Court proceedings, in which he refus-
ed to accept or abideb the rulings
OF this Court. He believed he was in
the right, and dared maintain his
views. This has been his motto all
the way through his public and pri-
vate life-to do fearlessly and persis
tently what he conceived to be his
duty. General Ayers should be elected
to Congress this fall. Mr.. Slemp has
been there long enough. He should
now retire in favor of his friend
with whom. as is well known, he is
on the most intimate terms of friend
ship, and if he refuses or declines to
do 30 the people should compel him
by votes, to do so. With a Democrat
as President, and both houses the
same, Mr.. Slenp will not be needed
IN Washington and should be retired.

distinguished service the four years

thusiasm of the Democrats and the
splendid ret organization projected
two years ago, points to victory in
November. 1t must be understood.
however, that the victory we have
predicted depends very largely on
the harmony and the activity of the
Democrats between now and the cleo

believe that the Democrats will pre-

OF the final outcome. Every Democrat
in the Ninth district owes it to his
party to get ont he firing line and re-
main there until the closing of the
polls on election day. Nothing should
