FLU-ANNA CO., March 20, 1915.

You have seen in the Richmond Wing, sup
pose that Mr.. George Stman was nominated al
February Court as the Wing candidate Tor this
county for the next Legislature. | find great
deal of dissatisfaction since among The Wings
themselves about the nomination; and even some
Of the Committee are not satisfied; and others
say the Committee was as much packed as Il
could he. The nomination was not III accord
ance with majority OF The party. Mr.. Stiilnan
remained at home The day Of the Court and pre-
vious to that day had frequently expressed no
wish 10 be the nominee. But il is believed BY
the Wings that he was anxious Tor il, from the
circumstance Of the activity OF one OF the firm.
who was al the Court House early and exerln9
himself in hehalt OF The present nominee Still
man.
Is it not strange Messrs Edilors that one OF
the firm should be the warm advocate for an OIL
flee To the other, against his wish, and one that
would also, as Mr.. Stillman conlended, be InJurl-
Gus 10 his private affairs, and most OF all saying
that his health would not justify 1t What Il
feeling partner that must be " no would wish even
his liz. sacrificed Bu, does Mr.. Stlman show
his objections 10 be true? II 50, why accept The
nomination? Sir. the truth is, Mr.. ). wanted The
office, but if lc should be disappointed, he could
only say he never wanted il, nor did he seek It
but that will nodo for a majority OF the people Of
FluEdNnd. ncY want Il llld1 WHu wants 'hc "
fec; for he VIII then be dependent on them, and
not the people dependent on the office holder. My
object, however, is-as he is the candidate
and voter of the couniy-to ask HIM lew
questions through your paper, and request that
they shall be solved through the same, or his 81
lcnce will be taken for confession. The IS, is
Whom did you vote for as President OF these Uni
ted States, when the contest was between General
Jackson and John q. Adams Would you not
support Adams over any other candidate, II such
point was al issue at this iine? %. Are you
moi of Northern birth, and is il not natural for
man 10 support The principles OF the State Of his
birth? Sd. Are they not in direct opposition 10 ours
oilhe South? 4th Have youncver said IN speaking
OF the Annexation or the Tariff III you were the
people Of the North, you would cut the throaIs OF
the South, before you would SUBMIT" 9th. Were
and are you mol yet opposed TO the annexation oil
TeSas2 9th. Are you not in favor OF the Tarlfi
of '42l 7lh. Arc not your Religious principles
Popish-or, in palmer language, have You never
expressed yourself as being in favor of but one
established Code Of Religion, and for that TO be
supported by Government2-which would have
10 be done by direct tax, of course.
Can any free and independent people las The
people of Old Flu have always been known 10
be, and no more independent than they have
heretofore been noted for Repnhlicanism,) sup
port such candidate! Motley will not, am
sure but will say, in April at the polls, 10 Geo.
