r A correspondent of the GrecnsborS
fat lot suggests that inasmuch as
fliPre will be no appointments by the
KihorifT to collect taxoß immediately be
fore the August election this yoar, and
inasmuch nsjhe says thero are no issues
to discuss ntld the people desire rest and
iftp6s« from political excitement, that
there be no icnn vnss of that county by
the candidates this year It seems to
us the suggestion is not a good one. It
M'oftld not do for our county we feel
quite certain, that is for the Democratic
party «t least. For the sandidates to go
uround, end- at least announce them,
pelves, and let tho people see them is an
established custom that we do hot think
tlifre is at) inclination to dispense with,
nor do wo think it should be dispensed
with. Those who arc up for reelection
can discharge the duty of an
account of their stewardship, aud can
also take the occasion to make new
promises for the future. The people too
may wish to hear candidates define their
positions upon questions of legislation
that mat bo regarded necessary or likoly
to come up to be passed upon.
Whetjior the present unjust and inef
ficient Bystom of working the public
roads is to bo kept up is interesting to
road hands at least, if it is considered
worth while to heed their desires; and
the public at large should feel quite an
interest in this matter.
There are various questions that we
think might profitably bo discussed be
fore the people. s Aside from all special
matters political canvasses should be the
means of imparting information to the
people, concerning their government and
its administration.
An, election without a canvay would
}oße much of its interest, and give op*
portunity to the unscrupulous to take
unfair advantage by tbe # circulation of
false information. There is enough of
that done under any circumstances, with
out increasing the opportunity for it.
Ho wo say lot the old custom af candi
dates meeting the people at stated times
ftbd places be kept up. '

The agreement to adjourn on tho 17th
last, did not induce House or Senate to
hurry in the consideration of public bu-
were dull as a couu
summer day. The

privilege. Effer since the venerable Sen*
"tomato to Maine he has betrayed
IF* wR? 11 ' political condition
of his section of the State that is unusu
al with him. This attempted revival of
framing privilege is simply an indi
cation that lie and other .Republicans see
the need of sending to the people the old
fashioned piles of speeches and docu
ments. The Republicans voted for the
restoration, and the Democrats against
it.
The testimony of Anderson beforo the
Potter Committee will be resumed to*
day. Anderson will be cross-examined
by Uenl. Butler, nnd tbo latter was clos
eted with Secretary Sherrpan yesterday
for n couple of hours. Anderson has
heretofore made statements not exactly
consistent with some he made while tes
tifying on Saturday. His present State
ment, however, has the substantial back
ing of documentary evidence, was made
with every appearance of truth, and cre
ated a decided sensation. He seems to
• have established the fact that Sherman
and Stanley Matthews knew of his
' tention to commit fraud in preparing
papen. to secure the throwing out of tiie
vote of »parish which had goue Demo
cratic, and that they promised him pro
tection and pay. This is a plain state.
inentt»f the facts, Unless his tertimoßy
ia impeagjied or tho alleged letters of
Bherman and Mattliews proven forgeries,
it is difficult to see how either of these
uleii can remain in public life.
It is also noticeable that Sherman swore
when before the Committee, that wheu
nt New Orleans lie wrote many Jotters'
intended to influence the action of
)j»ui*t4iM offi:iali>||klhouirh when thsre
hp, GurtfcM, Halo and others decHnei
lo unite wTlh visiting Democrats in ft
Biild, it
would be manifestly improper for tliein
to aticmptto influence nfburs. Altogethor
Secretary Shopman and Senator Mat
thews arc in a bad fix. The first day of
the invrtstijjalion' settled that. Tho view
Mr. Kayos takes of it is shown by bis
having telegraphed to Evamwille, Indiana
to wbieh place he bad promised to be to
day, that ho would remain hero "owing
to complications." It is said that if Senator
Matthews appears before tins committee
audit is not seen h>w lie can avoid it,
an"SßEorTwill be TnadeTCr pi'OVST~Uy" ivmt
the "guilty knowledge"' of Mr. Hayes.
Two noted hotels close this week—

former is the oldest in'the city was well
known in earlier days of the Republic as

It is said that recent events have re«
vived bad l'eeiing between Senator
(jlordon and Senator Conkliug. The
trouble between them was supposed to
have been settled, the absurd document
signed by Senatty Hamlin and others
being taken by the public as evidence of
the fact. I Suppose no other Senator
ever lost prestige and strength in one
session as Conkliug has in this. Cer
tainly none ever gained more of them
than Senator Gordon has done. In the
original quarrel tho fault was Conkling's
and the forbearance was Gordon's and
all tbo Senators so understood. •
SOLON, j
MEXICO.—TUe adherents of Ldrdo are
,v - x
stiring up resistance to the Diaz govern
ment, in the land so productive of revo*
lutions and disturbances. What strength
this movement may develop it is impos
sible to tell. The insurgents are mns»'
tering their forces and the government
is taking steps to pul them down.
Whether Diaz will be driven from the

country, remains to be seen. Our gov

VVe nro anxious to have every assoclas
lion in the State represented by one or
moro members. There are also man>
localitios in whieh no formal organiza

young men if properly stimulated and
instructed would unite in association
work. We would gladly meet in com

communities, feeling assured that many
