i uii3 be seen by the proceedings Of
ta,. .jas:ucratiC Legislative Conference,
Wlt..3 H-semblcd in Bedford on Satur-
day, usc, that the Hon. HIRAM FIND
LAY has been placed in nomination on
the ticket for A@sembly-nO second
nomination having been made, but Col.
FILLER, OF Bedford county, who had
announced himscifas an independent
Candidate recommended to the sup
port Ot the Democracy Of the District.
We believe this action on the part Of
the G0nferee5 10 have been, under the
circumstances. judigioUs, and that it
viii meet the appreciation Of the party
in the District.
The Hon. HIRAM FINDLAY is one Of
that noble, Old-tashiOned type Of Dem
ocrats, who is q Democrat from deep
conviction OF the truth and rectitude Of
the Democratic principle. Immoyable
in his attachment to that principle las
the man Of integrity ever Is to what he
believes to be righ4 Mr.. Findlay had
remained consistently and unWaVering-
iy faithful TO the creed and doctrines Of
Jefferson and Jackson. Devoted to the
Union all his life, he bore eminent tes-
timony, during our dark days Of trial,
against the open foe at the South, and
the insidiOus but no less dangerous enc
mics Of the Union at the North VINO
plotted for dissolution, andWho aren0W
openly striving to render dissolution
permanent. A man OF unsullied prl-
vate character, popular in manners,
sl<illfuI and experienced in business,
well informed Of the material wants
and interests Of the District, possesses,
Of a shrewd intelligence and good
stock Of information, he IS in every re-
spact not only a competent, but a first
class man, for the office of Legislator.
Col. JOHN II. FILLER has heretofore
acted with the Republican barty. His
name was presented by his friends for
nomination BY the Republican party,
| tGis fall. for til9 same office. This was
sought in the maine OF "the boys IN
! blue and as a Slight recognition OF
their services in behalfof the country.
But the party thatVaunted Itself Is the
special friend Of the soldier, turned the
| cold shoulder To Col. FILLER and he
was literally cheated out of the noml-
nation las was also Captain Stuckey,
another worthy soldier il order 10
give place 10 burly, big, wealthy stay
at-hOme patriot one John I. Rich
ards, OF Fulton county. Seeing now IN
opportunity to rebuke the meanncs5,
duplicity and laithlessness of the cor
rupt party organization, and, at the
same time, to do an act Of meritcd JUS
| tice to ''the boys III blue,o thercpreaen-
| tatives OF the Democratic party have,
in the true spirit of unseliish magnani-
nifty, recommended Col. Filler to Dem
ocratic support. That he will be cleo
ted, we can hardly have a doubt. The
unanimous support hewill receive from
! his special friends, ''the boys in blue,
who were so ccoIiy thrust aside by me
! Republicans-the many votes he VIII
| take from the Republican party, a large
portion of whom are dissatisfied with
| the swindlimg and scheIning whereby
| the soldiers were ruled out-these, WIN
the generous assistance 0I the DemocIa-
! cy, will we'll nigh render his election a
certainty. OF Col. PLIERS fitness .oF
the Office, there can be ne doubt. f!i'
| opponents cancoGc him to be one oitAe9
most educated, Intelligent and talented
men in the District.
