WE understand that Our alluslon
yesterday to Mr.. Il. J. Darlington rs II
candidate for city assessor and collec-
tor, is misconstrued by some.
Tho article was hurriedly written
amid the cares of business, and per-
haps does not clearly explain itself
We have not made and do not make
any charges against that gentleman,
never having been in his Office or had
transaction with him. On the con-
trary, unless something should he de-
vcioped now unknown to us, we shall
vote for him rs anomince of our party.
Our remarks, without consultation with
any one, were inspired by the desire
for unity among our political hlends.
We bad regarded the card of Mr. g.,
published some two weeks ago, as sat
islactory But when number respec-
table democrats, who had participated
in the primary election, issued
call on another gentleman to be n
candidate, we could but see it. The
extent Of dissatisfaction We did not and
do not know. Oar suggestion that Mr..
G. had better withdraw, is construed by
some OF his intimate friends ~ imply
ing charge against him. We deny
in toto any such intention-we had
none to make. On the contrary, we
found thnt those who had known him
long had the fullest confidence in him.
Car only object was to get unity and
a full vote, but as his withdrawal, in
the opinion of his intimate friends,
would place him in false position,
which, Oh reflection, strikes lis rs hav-
ing some foundation We withdraw the
suggestion, repeating cmphatically
that we have 10 charge TO make,
