BRYAN, WILLIAMS CoUNTY,( b
September 1st, 1867.
Thinking that you would like to hear
from the extreme northwestern corner of
the State in regard to political matters,
thought I would drop you few lines. hop
ing, after correcting mistakes, you would
give it place in your valuable paper.
Williams. county Democracy are all
right, and are working with a will to de-
feat the hosts of Abolitionists, and you may
put down in your figures on the State ticket
not over three hundred at the outside for
the Radicals, and not over one hundred
and fifty for Constitutional Amendment.
Their majority last fall was over six hum
dred. We have also strong hopes of elect
ing portion OF our county ticket. 4af
In our Representative District, the po-
litical horizon is bright. Defiance will give
Hill and Denman not less than eight hum
dred ajority,-Pauldiug can't beat us a
vote, and in this (Williams) county, the
Radicals cannot possibly get over three
hundred majority. Set down this district
at about eight hundred.
DR.. Morrison, one of the Bondholders'
candidates, will not run up with his ticket
on account of certain "Cdrpet Sack" ar
rangement that the Grand Jury of onr
county investigated few years ago, and
also, the Hon. A. S. Laty, Judge of Com
mon Pleas of this District, (although an
Abolitionist) will not support Morrison.
Laty being an anti Ashley man, and re-
fused to pledge himself for Ashley. Morri-
son attempted to defeat his nomination last
year, hence Laty, it is said, intends paying
off the debt due Morrison.
The RAIDS have imported 81. N" speci-
men of humanity to edit their buzzard or
gan of this place by the name of BRIGA-
DIER-GENERAL Ike r. Sherwood,
(please put the Brigadier in large caps, or
the gentleman, by brevet, if he happened to
see this notice, might feel himself sighted,
as he has notified his friends, in addressing
him, to always call him, on all occasions,
GENERALLY The said gentleman, by brevet, is
an aspirant for Congress, and is now lay
ing the ropes to defeat the great impeacher
(Ashley) for the next nomination. He
urges his claims on the ground of being
made General, latter the loar) wears long
hair, and has extraordinary large feet, and
is cross between Massachusetts school,
marin and wooden nutmeg pedler, and is
as vain as a pea-fowl. But there is al
SO another aspirant for the same position
that is likely to give the same Brigadier
some trouble, in the event that Colorado
Jim is choked off the track. He is an hon.
est old Scotchman by the name of Dizert,
familiarly known as "Uncle Bobby" l
judge he has the inside track, as the lead
ing RAIDS, such as Keck, Boynton, My
krants & Co., of this place, would all give
him their support in preference to ye gal
liant BREvET. Il
Ashley is now stumping our county, and
is trying to explain his Conover letters,
but the people have lost confidence in him,
and his political harangues have lost their
force. 80 soy. sTf -fr'frG f. -!
The payment of the interest on bonds in
greenbacks takes with the people like
wildfire, and you will do we'll to advocate
that doctrine. 1t suits all classes but the
bond holders.
Count on the northwest doing her duty
this fall. 4iHsf-- --s-sv s..srt.
