for the same office, by the whig delegates,
The nominations for Congress and the State lie.
gisature, by both parties, are now complete, but
such offices are considered of no importance, (by
certain INSCRIPTIONS politicians who wish to share
he great prize OF $50 OOO the spells Of the Sheriff s
office, } compared with that OF Sheriff McNlchdel,
the wing candidate for Sheriff, editor of some
considerable talent, and fluent, sensible and popu-
lar speaker, and possessing all the requisites for
that important office, which his otherwise clever
opponent lacks.
Your correspondent, Count, was wrong in calling
"James II Hutchinson the rowdy landlord OF the
| Van Buren, Locust Ward Tavern" Mr. Hutchn-
son gave up that tavern two years since, when he
obtalued the nomination for Sheriff, over Daniel
Smith, and although Mr. H lsgeneraly consld red
the, keeper OF the old tavern, it IS believed that he
really sold out; however that may be, II Is now
given out by his friends, that he would JON the
temperance society if that society desired HIM to
do so, aud would give him their votes.
1885, and was defeated by very large majority -
He was again Candidate tor the same OH ;r III
| lS4l, aud was again defeated by large majority.
| He was nominated by Mr. Barker the Collector
Of the Port, to MIR Duane, then Secretary OF the
Treasury, for the Office OF Inspector OF the Gus
toms. Mr.. D. at first objected To the appointment
Of Mr.. H., but at last Reluctantly confirmed his no.
minaIon He was dismissed tor dsobt dlenCe al
orders, by Governor Wolf, Collector of tie Port, in
i 1888 Governor w issued explicit orders 10 all o.
Ulcers under his control, forbodiog them from go
lug 10 Harrisburg under any pretenee, or pa!tic,na'
ting in the threatened disturbances; but Mr. II
thinking that the Collector would not dare 10 re-
move him, posted off 10 Harrisburg and was suit
ably rewarded for his disobedleoce by being forth
with discharged The most powettul III rs were
made by many ofthe most iuh rental ri. nds oil Van
Buren, to have him !einsated, but the President
very properly sustained the Collector, and Mr.
II. remained private cltzen,or sob rosa the keeper
OF the Locust Ward Tavern
When Mr.. Thomas :. Smith was appointed Col
lector, In place OF Jonathan Roberts, Mr.. Hutchn
son would have been much pleased 1t Mr. Smlth had
appointed him 10 a station within MS elf; but Mr.
Smith fearing, probably, that If he appointed Hut
Crimson the Office which he so much desired. II
would destroy Mr. H 3 popularity with his Van
Buren, friends. pruden.y, perhaps appointed another
patriot.
II will be seen, therefore, that Mr. Hutchinso n has
oeen badly treated by The democrats for all the
services he rendered them, as keeper OF ward Ia
vern tor so many years, his only reward has been
| he Office OF constable for few days, (pIetenng
the pacuce at the bar, To the practice ct naobing he
| resigned after few days experlence,) aud ii tde
ler, which he was elected from merely Tor fol'
| lowing hls own lncnatlons
Ii is proposed TO farm out the Office to sundry po
| iuclans should Mr.. II. be elected Sheriff. The
printing to be given TO the TWO papers that care Tor
| blm alone, aud the profits TO be taken care OF BY
| he secretaries
| Neither his friends or himself will be troubled
| either for security win the profits. On the
second Tuesday OF October Hutchinson will be a
| thrice beaten candidate Tor sheriff
