The Republican Candid ate for Clerk.
DR.. IL. +. Stempel who was nominated for
the Office Of Clerk of the District Court, at
the Republican County Convention, held at
the Junction on the I'd inst, is a man of tai
ent and learning and especially fitted for that
office. Owing to his public services hereto,
fore rendered as Deputy County Recorder
and Treasurer, which, Office he filled several
years. he Is we'll known to ths people Ct Lee
county generally, and does aally need no
recommendation at our hands He served
the public faithfully when in office, and at a
salary which, being in County Orders that
were then much under par, would not even
make him living. Especially is he well
known and highly esteemed by his German
fellow countrymen, whose sole legal adviser
he used to be in times past, without exacting
those ruinous fees SO often charged by pro-
fessional lawyers. But still better service did
he do bis fellow countrymen as , physician,
that being his profession, and though he has
not practiced medicine as business lately,
he has always been ready to assist the suffer.
ing without charge, and at the side Of many
sick.bed has be stood, sAillfully restoring to
health its occupants. We merely aIlude to
these facts in order to show the character of
DR.. Stempel, for he has always sympathized
with the poorer classes, and they are facts
which hundreds Of his fellow citizens and
countrymeu can testify to, and which hun
dreds will subscribe by giving him their votes
IN November next, though even they may
happen to differ with him III politics,
AT all events the nomination Of DIR. Stem
pei is good one; one that will shake the
Democratic county organization from its very
foundations and confuse its leaders. With
such ticket, therefore, as our County ticke,
is, Dr. Stemptl, the friend Of the oppressed,
alongside with our brave and very able can
didate for County Recorder, the "Noble"
Warwick, who sacrificed one of his legs on
the altar OF his country, we might well pre-
diet victory. A GERMAN.
liiE traitors of the country, beaten in the
South on the hattle-6elds, and in the North
at the polls, have now combined their forces
and proclaim anew their determination to
secure victory by ballots and by bullets un-
der their old leaders, with the aid ola bread
and butter brigade Of repegades from he
Union party.
Their policy is reactionary and revolution
AIRY, and il it should, by any chance, prove
successful, the country will be exposed to in
surrecton, civil commotion, boodshed and
massacre. Peace and prosperity will only
be attained, If at all, after years OF turmoil,
through the enslavement and determination
Of the Union element Of the South, and the
hnal subsection Of the people to the treason
propaganda oligarchy of the South.
Let the people elect Gen. Grant, the con-
queror Of the Rebel hos,s of treason and tht
arrogant aristocracy will surrender peace
will be restored, and prosperity will prevail
throughout the land.
There can be no doubt Of such happy re-
suits from his election, while it is equal ycer-
tain that there can be no reasonable ground
Of peace and prosperity under the revolu>
tionary programme Of Wade Hampton and
Frank Blair.
