Perhaps some may ask the question, why 10 It NOT
right that this family should not hold and control,

1t is the truth, and challenge any man of morals
to deny it. This Mr.. Winston ID near relation OF
the old and present family of Shers and If the peo-
pie put him in this office they had just well put the
present incumbent, his uncle, Thomas boswell, and
his cousin Tom Carter, for the Office will remein un-

from what his cousin, Tom Carter has said, that he
himself is the King Sheriff of the family and his Ian
guage was this: "a have made my pile out of the

to have our feelings nsulted in this style by the Old
King of tho Sheriff family! Must we freemen vote
for any that il, and will be, compelled to keep
Tom the cd King as the f h hsn
dreds; and No. will be the sentiment OF every free
man.
Then, ceme all ye freemsn, and let us join in one
celestial band and vote for William N. Tinsley the
freeman's independent man; man. that is worthy In
every respect and capable in every respect of filling

whose father was a good German mechanic; and man
whose uncle was the poor and humble baker boy;
and man whose charities numerous the

Free without money and without price. From
seventy five to one hundred daily receive bread from
his charity alone. Those persons composed of

the dumb, of all nations. The charity of his uncle,
MIR. Dill the once poor and humble baker boy, and
himself have fed many thousands of little hungry
mouths, and dried the tears of many thousands of
and afflicted hearts. We, the people of Richmond,
know Mr.. William Tinsey, and know that neither
him nor any of his family ever held any office; and
we, the people of Richmond know that it was by in
dustry and honesty that Mr.. Tinsey to his pre-
sent standing; and we, the people of Richmond will
never forget ihst great trustworthy act OF Mr. Tins
ley at the time he in the banking business when
ths people had upwards of hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars of his notes. and influential enemies
of his put the report that he not able to

of betrayng his trust and distressing the people,
hundred of bankers and banks did just about that
time he gaddened and filled the hearts of those that
hold them with golden joy and in less than eight days
redeemed every note at full value, which caused him
to lose, for the peoples sake all the expenses of the
i,sue and cost of the notes, which, including the
whole of his loss by this operation was upwards of
ten thousand dollars.
Think for moment of this act of Tinsey: At the
time the Richmond Cotton Factory stopped, throwing
upwards of two hundred little children out of en-
ployment, he advertised, extending invitation to
all of them that choose to and get their bread
daily free of charge; stating that if the Factory had
stopped, his Bakery had not And he acted the same
way att the time of the great strike at the Tredesar
Rolling Mill giving bread free to all of their children

concluded to obtain their object, perish in the

Such the principles of William N Tinsley, the
independent and peoples candidate for the SherHslty
of Richmond Who is iG that can't vote for such
man! If there be any that can't his senses must be
unconscious of feeling. Come all you that can ap-
,preciate' such principles and cherish them by vo-
ting for William N. Tinsiey who seems to know no
other principles save those of
my 2l-It JUSTICE AND LIBERALITY.
