The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1868-04-01
rHE CONSERVATIVE TICKET.

Il 10 with more than ordinary pleasure that we
max the attention Of all honest and Intelligent ci-
zens to the nomination Of candidates for the Leg
isature, put forth by meeting Of the citizens OF
this District. The gentlemen selected have signi-
fed their willingness to serve, If elected and the
ticket goes before the people for their approval in
the conscious strength that the position was neither
sought nor desired but that they are content to
abide the wishes Of their felow-citizens and make
any needful sacrifice for the common good. This
is the spirit of true patriotism, and in these times
Of peril and uncertainty, we constrained to
express an unqualified qualification in rendering
eur feeble support to men whose sole aim and OBJ
jec will b. to legisate for the best interests of the
entire people With measures for the public
good, and not in the interest Of any particular
class or race these gentlemen will be found nobly
battling for the right, and against every sembance
of fraud and corruption from whatever quarter it
may emanate Such ticket commends itself to
the favor and support of every man disposed to
make the future of our country worthy of freedom
ond prosperity.
The nominee for Senator, DR.. ]. Fl. REID, is
physician by profession, but believe that he is
more thoroughly identified with the farming inter
est than with the medical fraternity. He is in the
prime of life, with hale and hearty constitution,
and personally represents the appearance of an
intelligent and vell-to-do gentleman Of ye olden
Of the neighborhood, and is highly esteemed
wherever known. DR.. REID has never been before
the people for any Office, and has not held any
dsqualifying position. On the score of availa-
biity, therefore, his name is entirely acceptable,
and We are confident that the people OF Anderson
Diutrict could not entrust their honor and safety
With any one more devoted to her interests alive
to the wants of the people. We will add that Dr..
REID lives in the lower portion Of the District,
known as the Dark Corner.
B. FRANK SLOAN, Of Pendleton, the first named
on the ticket for the House of Representatives, is
young msn, engaged in merchandising, and has
always sustained irreproachnble character for
integrity, uprightness and well-directed energy.
His name goes before the people, without any So
licitaton OH his part and for the first time in his
life Mr. SLOAN will truly represent the people,
and he has the nerve to denouncc wrong and up
bold right. As such, We commend him TO the
favor and support Of the citizens.
Maj. john B. MOORE, of this place, is prac-
ticing lawyer, young man, and ready, effective
speaker. His record during the war is that of
gallant and popular officer. In the practice of his
profession, he has been unusually successful, and
has meritei the plaudils of the community by
faithful attention to business, and untiring ndus
try and perseverance.
Dr.. JOHN WILSON, of Williamson, is one Of those
sffabfe and agreeable gentlemen, whom to know
will afford pleasure ut oil times. Like Dr. REID.
although belonging to tho medical fraternity, he is
constantly engaged in the pursuit of agriculture,
and may be considered as thoroughly representing
the farming community.
Such is brief outline Of tho character and pur
suits of the men on whom the people of this Dis
trict are earnestly asked TO concentrate. We pre-
sume there is no necessity for urging the impor-
tance of being represented in tho next Legislature
by men of good character, upright principles and
the sternest integrity. This fact is apparent to ALL
and though the time for consideration is brief, We
trust that every man entitled TO vote will be pre-
sent ut the polls and cast his ballot for this ticket
