Now, Mr.. Editor, we have had no
County Convention. While we have
several candidates in the field to repre-,
sent old Franklin in the Constitutional
Convention, and we have that innate
confidence in the integrity of the peo'
pie as to believe that, in IN emergency
like this, no man will so far forget
himself, or the sacred duty he owes
his children, rs TO vote for any one
unified for this position on account OF
likes and disliles, or personal popular
ity or anything Of that sort, but will
cast about him for the man best suited
for the position, then honor himself by
Lonoriny such an one with his vote,
and IN Ills way, and this way alone,
will true worth meet its just reward
Old Frankln has always, in every
great emergency, produced man
equal to the times. She can do it yet.
And while other sister counties are
calling up their sages and statesmen
from the retirement Of years, some
fears lave been expressed among us
that we would probably be under the
average. with the present tendency OF
things,
Now, candidly, Mr.. Editor, we have
no sjjch fears, 1t is not necessary that
we should have u polished orato- iol
