"In time o: peaoe, preiere tr war" is a well known maxim in states. i.siiahip, and that man who does not appreciate its wisdom in polities is i'ot. worthy of following. It may remind well, and sound honest, to say, "In local elections party lines .sli. nlil le disregarded ;" but it is unwis, except the motive is to dispupt the existing parties or to steal the hon ors which they may have gained in a hard fought campaign. If it was right to vote for principle last fall, it is right to vote for the same principles now. If ptrt.y lines are to be drawn ery two years, it. is imbecile to say that organization or discipline should be ahandomed at other times. What makes success snd insures victory every two years, or every four years, will most certainly insure victory at other times, nnd the party that is not worthy of success in local elections should not succeed in national politics. If Demo crats are to stiller defeat in the ap proaching election, it will he to their credit to make a Spartan sacrifice.
