On Saturday morning last the fol-

ShHllcrosS, one of the Democratic can
didates for the Sheriffalty in this coun-
ty. II was called out by 400 German
voters whose names were not pub

peculiar in its nature that we submit il
as follows:
1.-The following call upon our fellow
citizen, Thomas T.. ShallcroSS, Es0., 10
allow the use of his name in connection
with the Office of Sheriff Of Ohio county,
was signed by over four hundred voters
of this vicinity. Please publish the

400 GERMAH VOTERS.
To Thomas r. IShdUcroSs, Esq:
SIR: The undersigned citizens of Ohio
ton to the true interests ofall men, and
your ability to discharge impartially
and fairly the duties of Sheriff of our
county, request you to allow your name
to be used as candidate for that office.
MR.. sHALLCRosS' RESPONSE.
WHEELING, Aug. Sth, 1866.
Gentcmen:--Responding to your APP
peal-I thank you; aud appreciate the
confidence expressed by you, in my de-
votion to your interests-''the true in
tereSts of all men" and in my liability
TO discharge impartially and fairly, the
duties of Sheriff of our county"
can but feel complimented, and
YOUR request to allow my name to be
used as a candidate for that office. can.
not be denied,-coming as it does from
so large and respectable committee,
representing one of the main elements
of our strength, one which helps to make
up the great national party, now OPP
posed by Radicalism, and all the other
isms that ever cursed our county.
Each one of you will bear testimony
that have not solicited you-or any
one OF you, to urge or present my
claims-if 1 have any, for the Office to
which you seek to elevate me, and you
all kROw that have promised no Depu-
tyships, no JailS. and you can rest as.
sure0 that l will never promise that
which is not in my power to confer
This appeal-Or reQuest-as each and
every one of you ENOlc-has been vol.
untary on your part, and without nv
knowledge or consultation.
/ have sought no office, since nv de-
cdpitdtion from the POstoJice Depart
meRt in October, 1Sol.
In considering your request l affirm
that am, and always have been, ''de-
voted TO the true interests OF all mem
las you please to put it, but more par
ticularly to the iphite man, believing
that ne, in the creation, was made after
Gods own image. The element you
represent, should, and doubtless will
have voice in the Convention of Dem
ocrats and Conservatives, which is to
convene on the 18th inst at the Court
House of Ohio county, for the purpose
of nominating candidates for the vari-
Gus offices; but it is notYour will, alone,
that must there be done. You are re-
minded that there Hre other elements
which combined with yours, make up
the whole.
When the Convention meets-the diff
terent townships being fairly represent
ed, they will have no difficulty in de-
termining who shall be their standard
bearer. If it should be the pleasure of
the Convention to assign that duty to
me, will employ all honorable means
at my command, to promote successes.
Should that post be assigned to anoth-
er, You must not, and WW not be dis
appointed.
Thanking you, gentlemen, again,
sincerely, for your friendship-which
with some of you, has been unbroken
friend and obedient servant,
THOS. p. SHALLCRoss.
Since the coup dctdt last Saturday
night the above card might very appro-
priately be denominated, 'Love's labor
lost" 400 German voters'' are no ac-
count unless properly distributed Mt
