objection which this writer in yesterdays Dispatch
urges against the election of Mr.. ELLYSON, Is the
very why hundreds of his fellow citizens will
support him for Sheriff He has served them faithful.
y and efficiently and their entire satisfaction for
two terms in the Legisature-a position of honor but
involving pecuniary sacrifice to any business man
who consents to occupy it; and it well known
10 many of his friends that he had determined not to
be candidate for reelection to the House of Dele
gates, they solicited him become candidate for
Sheriff. And even should there be an extra session
he has more than once declared that he would most
willingly resign his seat in that body
Unfortunately for his peculiar favorite, this writer
has overshot the mark when he refers to the recent
resuovaI of Messrs. Hutchinson and Bridges to our
city. The former gentleman though until recently
citizen of Hanover, has always been identified in
interest and feeling with the city of Richmond, and
the latter for long time one of most high
ly esteemed merchants. But how long has Mr.. Win
ston been in Richmond And did he not remove here
from Hanover few years ago to take Office depu-
ty Sheriff? Can it, then, be of complaint
against MIR. Hutcheson that he from Henrico to
obtain the office of Sheriff; or against Mr. Bridges
that he has been absent from the city few years p
1t is that Mr. Winston is very good young gen.
tlemen, but prefer either of the other candidates
to him.
The Constitution designed that the office of Sher-
III should be placed in new hands at least once in
four years and in favor of carrying out its spi
nit and instruction by making clean sweep. We
are opposed to offices being hereditary.
