Our County Elections.

EDIToRs HERALD AND TRIBUNE:
Just one week from to-day remains un-
til our people will be called upon to elect
their County officers.
That the Democracy will use every
meansin their power to secure the tri-
umph of their candidates, must be appa>
rent to all. And once victorious, they
will not content themselves with merely
quietly taking possession of the little
county Offices but the utmost importance
will be attached to their victory, and it
will be published to the four corners of
the earth, that Washington county has
wavered has "gone back" on Grant and
declared for Greeley. Hence the impor-
tant bearing our County election will have
upon the Presidential election!
Therefore, we appeal to our Republi-
can friends to stand square up to the reg
ular Republican tickct-do not scratch off
a single name-do not be misled by the
silly charges that have been trumpet pu
against S. E. Griffith, Esqr. he has made
as good Sheriff as we have had for years;
and if elected will make @ better one than
either of his opponents? Do not be de-
ceived by the pathetic appeals of those
who have been unfortunate into voting
against our worthy and efficient Circuit
Court Clerk-Dr. WheeIer-he is always
ready to wait upon those who have bust
ness in his Office, and takes pleasure In ac-
co~mmodating them. Remember we must
be just before we arc generOuS-must
stand by che men nOag who stood by Us in
the pass.
Neither must the claims of Captain
George Mcpherson, our faithful and eff
cient Trustee, be neglected. 1t is true
his opponent has been unfortunate in
loosing a limb, and he has our sympathy,
but he was engaged in a cause that gave
birth to the Conscript law, which drove US
from our homes, our country and kindred.
Nor must we be .ssoft soaped" into vo-
ting for Mr.. CrookshnAks, who, it is claim
ed made such a lenicnt Tax Collector in
ua times when Everybody bad their pock-
cts full of Confederate money and were
glad to get shut oft on any terms! But
we must remember that Mr.. Branscom
has been equally as %lenient during a pc.
Rod of almost unparalleled scarcity of
money. light crops and hard times gener-
ally, and if elected will be able to be
more lenient than it is possible for Mr..
Crookshanks to be!
Finally, let US do our whole duty.
Let us spend one day-or at least half a
day-for our country. Let our full
strength be developed let no Republican
be suffered to remain away from the polls.
A long pull, a strong pull and a pull
altogether and the victory is ours

TuE RACE FOR SHERIFF.

Having in the past few weeks traversed
q large portion o. the County and conyers-
ed with the leading Republicans in every
District, we feel confident in saying that
8. E. Griffith will receive the unanimous
support of the Republican party in this
county. He will also draw largely from
the opposite party on account of the uni
form kindness and leniency he has shown
men against whom he had claims to col
lect. Had it not been for this. many who
are now out of debt and on the high road
to prosperity. would have been irretriev-
ably ruined or forced into bankruptcy.
Sheriff Griffith will undoubtedly DE
elected by a larger majority than ever be-
fore.

cratic vote, but will lose a proportion of
il. and will not carry as many Republicans
as the number of Democrats he will lose,
and consequently will be defeated if he
continues the race.
very Republicans who asked the Demo-
Gratis to support Boreing, as soon as the
Democrats signifed their willingness to do
so, raised the cry,that Boreing had turned
Democrat, and that straight Republicans
could not support him. This was triAing
with, if not insulting to, the Democrats
who were supporting Boreing in good faith.
And when such comes to pass we think it
time for the Democrats to select a candi-
date from their own household. But
batting this, let the Democrats of Washing
ton County look to existing facts. On
next Monday when men from all districts
of the county will be in Jonesboro,' let
the strength of Borcing be inquired after
and learned, and if it be ascertained las we
think it viii, that Boreing will lose more
Democratic votes than be will carry in his
own party, it will then be sheer folly for
a single Democrat to vote for him, because
his defeat viii be snrc. No use in now
inquiring who is to blame for this thing or
that thing.
The object is to defeat Griffith. If
Boreing cannot do this, let the Democrats
at once call q convention and nominate,
w. II. Taylor, of johnson City, or Alex.
Mathes, or G.. p. Faw, or some other
strong man, and they can elect him. We
urge the Importance of this matter, and
we do it with the kindest Of feeling
towards Esqr. Boreing whom we. with a
majority of the Democrats of Washington,
have been supporting"
After all this we cannot see how Mr..
Borcing, can expect Republicans to sup
port him in this race. The question is
can they with propriety do it? As pub
Of a Republican paper,we consider
it our duty to lay these facts before the
and will only add that when the
votes are counted out on the 1st day of
August, Samuel e. Griffith will be the
Sheriff.

TO THE REPUBLICANS OF
THE FIKsT CONGRESSIONAL
DISTRICT

The time approaches for us to'take action
in relation to the Congressional race. To
avoid any disruption of the party and Sc
cure harmony and united action we must
have a convention of the representative
men of the party from each county in the
strict. No one seems to be moving in
(, matter, and as longer delay may les
4 our chances of success, we take the
responsibility to suggest to the Republi-
cans of each county to meet in their res
pective counties on the first Monday in
August, and appoint delegates to meet in
convention at Rogersville Junction on
Wednesday. August 21st, to make a nom
ination for Congress. We think this the
proper time and the proper place, looking
alone to the convenience of the delegates
from the different counties.
This is a time when we need and earn
estly desire the presence and united
counsel of our best men in u nomina-
ting convention. We urge upon all who
have the good of the party at heart to 60
to work in earnest and see that the coun-
ty conventions are gotten up in such man
ner, and the delegates appointed are men
of such standing and influence in the
party as to compel acquiescence in the ac-
ton Of the convention, and bring out the
solid vote of every county for the NOM

GIVES TIE UP.

From the following article clipped from
the GrecneviUe Sentinel, a strong Dem
ocratie paper published at Greeneville,
Tennessee, edited by Mr.. E. G. Reeves,
formerly of this county. who seems to be
taking quite an active part in the local
affairs of ou- county, it is easy to be seen
where certain parties expect their support.
When Mr.. Borcing, one of the candidates
for sheriff, announced his name as a can
didate we understood him to say that he
was the peoples candidate" and that he
would not run as a political candidate at
all. But recent Developments show
very plainly that he is looking for and
expects his support from the Democratic
party, and that it is through the influence
of that party that he remains on the track.
The editor above mentioned after visiting
the good old county of Washington goes
back to his sanctum and no doubt pom
dering over the feeble condition of q can
didate without a party gives vent to the
following.
ATTENTION DEMOCRATS OF WASHING
- TON COUNTY,
Many of the Republicans of Washing
ton county were opposed to the r~e-elec-
ton of the present radical sheriff Of that
county. This Sheriff, Mr.. Griffith, has
been one of the bitterest political enemies
TO the rebels that has ever held office in
that county, and favored their disfran-
chisement for life. Of course the Dem
ocrats wished him beaten. Esq. Nj. p.
Boreing, a Republican. announced ham
self a candidate for Sheriff. His Repub-
lican friends said in substance to the Dem
oerata. If you want Griffith beaten, help
us elect Boreing. As Boreing was an
intelligent and upright man. we'll fitted
for the position, the Democrats were dis
posed to unite on him, and all the Demo
cratic candidates, having material strength
magnanimously withdrew so as to secure
the election of Esqr. Boreing. We
were glad of this. We were for Boreing
because he was q worthy man and we
Thought an available candidate. =
