Maury ana Williamson.

Our neighbor, Williamson, is again
out of humor because Hughes, the Re-
publican candidate for Criminal Judge,
received such large vote in this coun-
ty, ana some of the lcitizens Of that
county say that the vote Was given him
simply because he was q Msury county
man. An examination of the election
records will convince our neighbors that
they nave spoken too hastily in the mat
Ter, aud that Judge Hughes really re-
ceived but little more than the Radical
vote OF this county. The full vote poll
ed here was about $500. OF this num-
her. Hughes received something less
than half, or 2, 94S votes. The Republicans
claim :, 500 strong in this county. They
really have only about 2,400. Then,
Hughes received something over 500
Conservative votes, out of G, zoe cast in
Maury county. McLemore's vote was
I,7s2. and Jones 1,3l5. aggregating 3,ie1
Conservative votes cast for men outside
of the county, against 500 for Hughes.
Now what did Williamson do? She
cast about 3,9S3 votes; 2,50i for McLe-
more $50 for Jones, and 20 for
Hughes. These figures show that Judge
Hughes received nearly one-third OF the
entire vote of the county. So, in pro-
portion to the vote cast in the two coun-
ties, Hughes received only one-sixth
more votes in this county than he did in
Williamson. lOnr neighbors, too, must
remember that Judge Hughes stands
high rs q lawyer and gentleman; and
that he was born and raised in the coun-
ty. It would speak very badly for him
II he were not able, after thirty years
professional life in county with g. 500
= voters, 70 get zee to vote tor him iu spite
of his politics. But our peighbors ought
not to take umbrage at the vote of this
county even IL it had supported its own
man. What county stands up to its
man better than williamson 7 Out OF
q 9ss votes In the county, McLemore got

IGNORES ESQ, or about three times as

b. For several hours during the night af-
ter the late election, it was believed that
Conner, Radical, had been elected Tax
Collector Of Maury county. Everybody
then felt the great need OF organization
in the county. Even the bitter preju-
dice against conventions was overcome,
and regrets were expressed that the De-
mocrats had not put forth candidates tor
eyery Office. 1t is scarcely right to gar
nv POLITICS into a Judicial election, but
it has always been done by Radicals,
and Democrats feel that they are COM
PEELED to do likewise. It is best for the
party to have i. we'll organized, and
nominate candidates for every office. 1t
is strange how men could get their con-
sent to vote for Mr.. Stone when they
were almost compelled to know that u
made the election of Cor nor quite, prob
able, 1t is all the result of the loose pr-
gapization of the Conservative party in
