About the Commissioner.


Mr.. EdltOr-l am little surprised at
the sentiments put forth by "a Temper

inst, in regard to the result of the recent
election for county commissioner. OF
Mr.. Baldwin personally l know nothing,
but that any true temperance man should
be Indifferent, whether the regular nom
inee of the friends of temperance or the
candidate of the rum party should pre-
vail-allowing them to stand alike in oth>
er respects-is, to say the least, little
unusual. Again, he speaks of the meth
cd adopted to procure the nomination as
unusual" and obtained through attend
ance of linen for that purpose never be-
fore known as temperance men," This
l cannot positively deny, not being per-
sonally acquainted with all the commit
tee who made the nomination but no.
ticed nothing unusual in tho proceeding
unless it was the seeming haste of the
chairman Of the committee-a friend of
the commissioner elect-to proceed to a
ballot without discussion and the strong
effort he afterwards made, both with the
committee and the convention to induce
them to set aside the nominee and adopt
The candidate of the opposite party
And further, | did notice some indiyidu-
ais in the convention not usually seen in
such places, who know supported Mr..
Bates at the ballot box; whether they
used any means there 10 procure bis NOM
nation cannot say.
The remarks of your correspondent in
regard to Mr.. Bates course the past year,
heartily endorse, also in regard to
slecting men who seek the appointment.
would say then to the friends of tenn.
perance, let us profit by the experience
Of the last and the present year, and be
to act unitedly, honestly, and
sffectually in time to come. And il there
s one man in the county whose honesty
