WHY WE DO NOT.

One of the readers of this paper
wants to know why we do not come
out i'll advocacy of some particular
candidate for the county Offices, and
asks, "Havc you Il candidate for the
various offices. If so, come out and
say So"
The field is full of candidates for
county offices, not one of whom has
been brought out by the people or by
either political party in the county.
They are all independents, the ma ior-
ity Republicans, only two or three
known Democrats-none of them-not
one-running as Il strict party candi-
date so far as is known. All of them
are soliciting the support of the voters
generally, and all of them expecting
to be elected
The political situation in the coun-
ty rs, to say the least, peculiar and
unusual. There seems to be general
breaking up of old party lines. Here
tofore the Republican party has nam
ed its candidates one way or another,
without consideration of the other
party, and elected them. For the
last twenty-five years and longer this
has been the case. The Democrats
beng far in the minority, have
thought 1t wise not to put up candi-
dates for county Offices, and make a
losing fight. But now, there seems
to be breaking up of the old order.
The old stand-patters in the Republi
can party are scarce these days. There
has been, also, a new "lineup" among
the Democrats, and, unless we are
mistaken there will be much "inde-
pendent" voting this year for these
independent" candidates. There is a
decided disposition now, it appears, to
try to get the best man, irrespective
OF political affiliations. We have be-
heved and said so for years, that
there should be "no politics" in county
management, but the candidates
should be selected by general mass
meeting of all the taxpayers, and not
by bare majority, and without any
consideration of political prejudices.
Only in this way can the best men
be secured. Other things being equal
there should be an honorable and eoui-
table distribution of public office. Ro-
tation in office is beneficial, the same
as rotation of crops. Public office
should not be solely within the gift OF
under the control Of any "boss," party
or family. Unless we mistake the
signs of the times, there is decided
change going on in this county, and
the old party man, political wire work.
er and vote buyer in both parties, as
some of us use to hear about, is ar
undesirable citizen" among us.
The Clinch Valley News, as it see:
it now, will try to pick the best mer
and 30 vote in November. We have
made no pledges and shall make none
for the county Offices. Any vote,
who is cited up" cannot be indie
pendent. Our advice, if asked, woult
be: In casting your ballot keep the
present and future interest of youl
great county in view and this alone.
