fore the people. large number of those who
voted for the present Commissioner were dis
satisfied with the secret action of few individ-
uas who, as they believed, reptitiously used
the name of prominent citizen of this county
to promote certain private political ends. On
the other hand many men were led to vote for
Judge Harris not because they thought him
properly nominated, or expected or wished to
elect him Commissioner, but for the reason that
they would not support any man merely because
he was the nominee of a convention called os-
tensibly for other and very distinct purposes
Under these circumstances the greatest diversi-
ty of opinion prevailed among those who are
usually agreed in such matters.
We are led to introduce this subject at the
present time because we desire to see the peo-
pie represented in the selection of candidate
for Commissioner. We have had enough of
this secret management and attempts at man.
agement 1t is time that the matter was taken
hold of and in earnest by those who wish to
see the right man in the right place. For Com
missioner under :he liquor law we want man
who has character and reputation, and who
commands the confidence of the people in his
integrity and sincerity of purpose: and, more
over, man who will not use his office for po-
ltical partizan or selfish ends. There are
many such men in the county, and, without any
intention of seeming inydious, we will name
the Hon. Emory Wheelock as one of the class
of men whom we desire to see nominated.
We deem it of no sort of consequence how
such man, as we believe large majority of
the people want, is put in nomination pro 'dcd
the voice of the people is heard in the mat cr
Therefore we take the liberty of suggesting the
calling of a convention of the conservative men
of the county, men who are opposed to intern
perance in all its forms and phases, to meet at
Fayetteville sometime in February-say during
the session of the Supreme Court as most of
the towns will then be representative nomi-
nate suitable man to be supported as County
Commissioner at the March election Such is
our opinion in the premises. Our columns are
open for an expression of opinion by others on
this subject.

COUNTY COMMISSIONER.

The time is approaching when it will become
necessary for the voters of this county to elect
County Commissioner, under the "liquor law"
so called, of 1882; and in order to meet the
matter properly some preliminary action is very
desirable. At the major part of the elections,
since such an officer has been elected, great en-
barrassment has been oceasioned by the exceed
ingly irregular manner in which candidates have
been brought before the people for their suffra-
ges Some years. no candidate has been nomi-
mated by any body of men, but the whole mat
ter has been in the hands of few individuals,
who would procure such votes to be printed as
interest," or convenience might dictate and cir
culate them privately throughout the county
When the voters came to the polls they would
vote these or any other tickets as their princi-
pies or prejudices might suggest. We do not
complain of this manner of voting. 1t is per-
fectly right in and of ITSELF but the consequence
is there is no concentration of effort, and no
definite object accomplished. The result is
purely accidental.
A great deal of objection was made last year
to the way and manner in which both of the
principal candidates voted for were brought be-

things were, MIR. Kendall told the girl that Reed
then had a wife and children living in West

was, victim of Reeds debaucheries. The poor
girl was completely overcome by this revelation
of her seduccr's guilt and her own doom.

about four years old, will probably be adopted
into a family living in Tariffyie, near CRANKY,

Reeds married daughter in New Haven seems
still to love her father, and clings to him with
all filial affection, in spite of the revelations of
his wrong-doing.
