Sheriff must sacrifice himself, like a
noble Roman, for the good of the people,
Mr.. Livingston. it IS known will not do
this he will be at all times in favor of
law and Courts, and opposed to personal
liability.
But with Mr.. Flournoy the case is diff
ferent. He has already made many sac
rifces for the good of The people of Ma
Olson county. He has sacrificed his pro-
perty and his character, and If elected.
is. no doubt, ready TO do it again. But ii
he would not travel the same course
again, he is where he cannot retrace his
steps his course must be onward =
ontrard. He has sacrificed all-he has
no other sacrifice to make, and would no,
therefore fear liability or responsibility.
Now, fellow citizens, after Mr. Flour
noy has suffered so much, and so long,
and so fatally, is it not your duty to raj
| ly around him-bear him bravely TO,
and triumphant from the polls, that he
may redeem his lost character-that he
may recussitate his sinking fortune
that he may still be the friend and sup
porter of the involved and the unfortu-
