The Campaign. -
The campaign is now begun. The conven
tions which are to name the political candi- _
dates are at hand and the many aspirants to
public offices bard at work. Now is the time
to ( be cautious about blunders which may re
sult in binding the hands of the conventions
and forcing upon them the nomination of unV
fit persons , thus crippling the administration Y
of public affairs. The approach of political
conventions generally brings up a lot of
cranks who viewing themselves through the
magnifying glass of self-conceit , get big ideas
of : their qualities and see * by fair or foul /
means to get named and elected to public
positions < where they may display their folly
and become the prey of failure and retire in
disgrace j , wishing they had never taken such
an ] unlucky step. It is one thing to be elected .
office but quite another to fill that office. I
Let us be wide-awake and get not only good
and ' honorable men but men of intelligence ,
sound judgment and ability , who when they _
appear in the halls of legislature or in other
offices of trust , will be an honor to their con- _
stituents. One thing which recommends Hon. f
GL. . Laws to our unanimous suffrage is thatL
< has never sought the offices which he has
ilready filled so faithfully , they came to him
the natural consequence of his valuable
labors and tokens of appreciation of the
"
people. He stands-as a matchless example
for all the politicians to follow. Those are the
men we need in office. Reporter.
The blood must be pure for the body to be
perfect condition. Dr. J. H. McLean's Sar-
mparilla makes pure blood and imparts the
rich bloom of health and vigor to the whole
