Tolthe Editar of Clio Neta gra otD _ - . #t S1i,—•Now that tho el to us St?6i are a tiling or the past, and tba sed y hhaking of the candiidates, n their enquiries as to the health of the family In eneral; and to ab i h bparticular, nr9 O e seen and iaeard in the nd, perhaps it would not be amiss to direct pubic: at- tention to this pernicious, and wholly inexcusablecustom of soliciting votes. Civilizedople have their strange customs as well as the uncivilized, and not the least strange of their customs Is that of Candidates begging their way to offices. For several days preceding the election the candidate for mµnien- pal honors are the distinguishing fea- tures In the landscape. You cannot escape them. they are here, there and everywhere. They are standing on the street corners with their fingers hook- ed, ready to fasten into the buttonhole of the'electftrs as they Rase their way. They are careeringg np; and down the streets of the different wards in' the towns ; they are going at a breakneck speed up and down the concessions of the townships, calling at every bouse, like the veriest mendicante, button= holing and importuning the electors for their votes. Bustlrn - buetii#ig; hurrying, sic urryine nd'altherlwieedies playing such energy; •viglor;' ireportu- nity and cheek that if they were ordi- nary instead of extraordinary beggars their fortunes would be assured. One has not far to sear ch to discover the origin of thIe canvassing°custom. It originates precisely from the same source as ordieairy' begfiing ariginteM. - Beggars solicit alms because by age, disease, aceidgpt - or, of er , kigdre4 cause they are inCa}raeitt'ate from earn- ing their awn ving, Candidates beg for votes becau a'they oftnr1©t get them any other way ; their qualifications are not such as will induce the office to seek them, and so they must, perforce, seek the Alice. With beggars for arms w 'can "sym- pathize, it is a matter of necebi ity with them; not so with the beggar fpr votes, it is neithenlieceosarY te•himself or to the public lihat he should be elected, and if be l* .9y halt, 444lmaimed, isa d tfr blind, or in' otherwise hi qualiflca ions are of stuck a low standard that he is compelled to beg in order to sac y 'llh}s election, then it is better fors Visa caned that he stay at home anti evote' his time and attention to his own pri- vate business. Cheek and importunity are not the best qualifications for a public servant, arid yet theublic by,. countenancidg ' and encrintagaingl cdh= sassing are offering a premium upon this very thin. - Many candidates detest the business, _. but they are forced to do it because others do it. If you ask them concern- ing it they may give reasons for it, but • all are agreed that they do not like it. I was told by one that he felt very much the same as if he had a bag on his back and was begging like an ordi nary arienciica1lti but his excuse was' that as the others wer ib tnyas Ing if' he did not the ehancea Wave against him being elected. Ano her,on gave as his excuse that matt 'liked one be' asked for their votes, an felt slighted and. were actually offended unlece their votgisWas solieiMd. If there be, any truth in Chip, it Is, to say the least, not very creditable to the intelligence and common sense of the electors. The in- dividual who has no more sense than to take offence at the man who does not aak=him- for his votes should not have a vote. Such electors are danger- ous to the commonwealth ; they evi- dently do not understand or realize the sacredness of the ballot, and, conse- quently are liable to make -a bad use of it. I can readily understand how such an one could easily be persuaded to sell his vote for money. The individual who prizes the franchise as he ought would as soon think of selling his con- science, his liberty, or his wife, as he would his vote, But if there are such childish electore, which for the credit and honor of representative govern- ment, I trust there is not, it is no ex- cuse for canvassing, but rather a rea- son against it, for our goverment is certain to be all the better when such people have no voice in the making of it. Another candidate to whom I spoke conceruing this matter told me, appa- rently in sober earnestness, though I am inclined to imagine that he was just a little sarcastic, tbat rnany elect- ors evidently looked upon the "run- ning" of candidatee in the literal sense, and believed that the race ought to go to the one swiftest of foot. " Many times," said he, "have I asked an indi- vidual for his vote only to be told that I was altogether too slow ; i hat the other fellow had been there before me, and had secured the prize." He was a defeated candidate and inclined to find fault with things in general. He be- lieved there was nothing fair about the present mode of running ;some of the candidates sneaking out a week or two ahead of the others, and conse- quently those starting later being thus greatiy handicapped in the race. And e is quite right. If canvassing is to be allowed a time and place should be appointed, when and where, the can- didate should be made to score Por po sition and start at the word "go." They would then win on their merits as runners, and not on their Merits as schemers, as is the case under the pre- sent order of things. But, in my humble opinion, canvass- ing should not be tolerated under any condition of things. It is detrimental to the best interests of the country. Because of it, and kindred things such as for instance pltndei,ing to the differ- ent secret societies, the best men are prevented from entering the field. They will not stoop to do these things, and theywould stand very littlechdnce other wise. Moreover canvasser are a public nuisance. People, as a rule, do not want to be placed in the position of'having tq,rgi't}sp a begging request, and thus perhaps estrange the friend- ehlp, or perhapsle'ven make an enemy, of the one they are compelled to re- fuse. The franchise is, or ought to be, altogether too eacred a thing to be given as alms to a beggar, and it is high time the public should stamp canvassing out and consign it. to obliv- ion, where other customs hot mete strange have been buried hundreds of years ago. I am certain that none would rejoice mete at its burial than candidat s theinseiv. s.

The Poet very heartily approves of the good example set by the business men of Clinton on the matter of early closing on Saturday evenings. By Ian agreement entered into all stores and shops are ex- pected to be clotted on the ringing of the town bell at 9 o'clock, This is as it should be as no good reason can be advanced why business should be dragged out until 11 o - deck or later on the last day of the week. We should like to see the example of Clin- ton followed in Brussels and other villages and towns in the county, as we feel assured the advantages tD accrue by this plan will far outweigh the supposed profits realized by the late hours.
