The dcniociatV h-.td- is are
beimatiji; lo ii ali that the
persistant abseut i iHin of a
Lir" number of iiemoeiiitie
in-M)bei of t he I louse i-j'oi
ar.ii.;a the part v's conlroi
iof the im xt lloil" It is I'll
I very wcl! to blame the repub
licans for r fiiihiir to vot to
niak' a i;uoi iuu so that th
House can transact ils I.ud
ness, but the voters will not
foru'-'t that ifevcry democrat
ic nn'inber was ia hi seat the
party could cast 07 votes
more th in a ipioniai of the
House, and could transact
business without the votes of
a Hlijjle republican, if they
did nol choose to rote. It is
simply folly to expect that
the republicans will neglect
any opportunity to Imntr to
the attention of the country
the lack of j) quorum, and in
declining to votf they are
but following thet-xampk set
them by the democrats in thp
last Congress.
What then is to be done?
That is just what is puzzling
the gentlemen who are re
garded as party leaders. All
sorts of suggestions have
been made, and many favor
the plan of making a direct
appeal to the democratic vo
ters, asking them to brimr
pressure enough (o bear upon
their members to compel
them to remain in their
seats in view o' ttip general
desire for renomi nation it
would not require much pres
sure of this sort to control
tlie average absentee. What
ever is to be done must he
done quickly. Every day that
there is not a quorum of dem
ocrats on the floor of the
House will add to the diffi
culty of electing a democrat
ic majority of the next
House, and to losethelIoue
would be a dire misfortcne
that even the election of the
.''resident will not fully com
pensate the party for. The
trouble seems to h: that the
democratic majority is so
large that some of the mem
bers think their presence is
not necessary. This is a mis
take that must be brought
home to them.

so it Will be iieei ssary for tie
convent i)u to nominate
some good and available
man for Auditor. We have
a great many men that
would hil the oifice satisfac
torily, but it will not only
take a man w ho can liil the
office sat h far. ori!y but; one
who is ti ue ami fried and at
the .".ii!!i time a vailable in
evt tv respect. We h a v e
thought the matter ovcrand
the eonditfoa.-; that exist at
this lime in our good old
Commonwealth. We have
considered prominent men in
all aspects llmt seemed to us
to throw light on theira v.iil
ali ity and have come to the
conclusion that of them all
Willis U, Williams of the
county of Pitt is the man of
them all. lie has a great deal
to make him available. .Air.
Williams is well known in tlie
State and has made the rep
utation of a sound and dis
creet statesman. He is a 1
ine
sneaker, a true Democrat
in
the definition o1' Jefferson and
a believei in the rights of the
masses. Xo man has done
more to uphold the princi
ples of Democracy than he.
He has always been a n an of
strong convictions, and a
good defender against the en
croachments of wrongs to
the people. In t he days i f
rccons ruction he never for
get what .his duty wis, and
hence he has made a- lnonu-
meat that wil
Im
m
the
Ib
mVmoi'L'S of the people
is peculiarly lifted for the of
fice of Auditor, having had
some experience in public af
fairs. Lie is popular, us ap
pears from the fael that he
lias been repeatedly reelected
to the State Senate, where ho
has r:ficted credit on tlie
people that sent him to rep
resent them. He is a Gran
ger, i believe, and as every
where, he has been exalted in
their rnnia -and stands a
mong the first. It is need
less to say more than this,
that it is the first; office of
any importance that his
friends have asked for him,
and, therefore, we do hope
that his name will be most
favorably considered by the
convention as we think it
should be-.
If nominated tlwe is iiouVi;kofli and ( tlerH is any
doubt but the duties ot
office will be discharged with
ability.
