Porte G. WEIGH got up and withdrew
his name as candidate for the Legislature,
and gave in his allegiance to the Granger
ticket. He does that annually, at every
new move that is organized. His remarks
were greeted with rounds of applause, q.
usual 1t has been the universal cry of the
grangers, "No office seekers for u.s." anG
yet it was publicly acknowledged by dele
gates last Saturday that the whole thing
was cut and dried beforehand and the ticke
generally agreed upon. Let us see if these
men have been Off ,e-seekers heretofore.
Two years ago T. G. Beach was seeking
the Republican nomination for Represen
tative, but was defeated by small vote.
Nelson Cone repeatedly sought and OBJ,
tanned the office of Supervisor from effer-
son Tp., under the old law, and has beer
before nearly every Democratic convention
for some position. Capt. Simon G.. Gary
sought and obtained the office of Repre-.
sentative eight years ago this fall in 1870
he sought and obtained the office of U. s.
Census taker for the north part of the coun
ty; two years ego he sought the nomina
ton for Treasurer and was defeated
George A. Ross was candidate two years
ago for county Supt. of Schools, but find
ing he had no show, withdrew. He has
been resident OF the county three or four
years. Mr.. Bone we'll sought the office OF
Sheriff two years ago, but gave up the
chase before it came 10 test. Samu e
Thompson, the candidate for Surveyor
was Surveyor four years, and Auditor
and County Judge for eight years
more. Jasper Hull has been can
didate twice for County Supt. and beef
defeated w. F. Scnee sought the office O
Sheriff several years since, :and was defeat
ed. b. r. Perdue was the Democratic
candidate for Senator four years ago this
fall 10 fill the J. r. Needham vacancy;
and three years ago was Democratic candi
date for Supervisor and was defeated both
times. For party that refuses to nomin
ate men who seek office, we think the
above array is hardly consistent
