Tub Washington Post vomes out iu a
Mroug editorial iu favor of a Southern
Democrat for President in lS9ii.
Senator David U. Hill, alter reading
the article sent the following letter to the
Post:
' i have perused with much interest
your article eulitlcd "A Sjutheru Demo
erat fur lSUti."
"It is able, creditable and timely. Any
policy which seeks to lcb.ise an oilier
wise acceptable ciiiidi'l.ite, simply by
reason of the section of country wherein
he lives, is unpatriotic, unwise and un-
American and I am opposed to it.
"This is no time for the toleration of
sectional prejudices, jealousies and ani
mosities. The existing political condi
tions demand that the party should have
the whole country to chouse frum. Let there
be a free field, a fair contest, and may
the bet man win.
"This is my democracy, and these are
my sentiments, briefly and hastily ex
pressed." A law was passed by the Legislature
providiu'' for the elcciiou of three addi
tional magistrates in each township, their
terms to commence April 1st, 1S95.
Few, ll any, of these magistrates have
qualified, and they cannot now do so.
The offices created are vacant because of
the taill-ire of the persons elected to
qualify before the term began.
The f.ower to appoint magistrates, to
fill vacancies caused by failure of those
elected to qualify, is vested in the Gov
ernor by chapter USS, laws of 138,, aDd
he appoints for the full term of six years.
It is too late now for any clerk to
qualify those appointed, and if they at
tempt to qualify them their acts will be
illegal.
The failure of the nely elected magis
trates to qualify in time rids the people
of the burdeu of 15,1100 unnecessary
magistrates, and of about 8.",000 for
the purchase of books, etc , for the new
magistrates, which the Legislators iu
tended to spend if they hud known how.
