Those who usually vote the conserva-
tive ticket, but are thinking of voting
for radicals in some instances, on ac~
count of personal friendship or because
they think that politics ought not to be
mixed up with particular offices, ought
to pause and consider how much they
will imperil the interests of the conser'
vatives and advance the interests of the
radicals, by placing the latter in respon-
sible Offices. a radical or conservative
in a responsible Office is in better posi-
ton to help his party and add II oral
force to it than he possibly can be out
Of it Looking at it in this way, we
shall urge the conservatives to vote for
mon of like politics, regardless of the
Office to be filed Give the radicals no
rallying point by placing one of their
number in Office frcm personal cunsider'
atoms. Better to sacrifice personal con-
sideratlons and vote for men who enter
tain conservative sentiments.
Judge Henry j. Livingston came on
Monday and went Immediately to the
court room. He has gone through with
large amount Of business in his court
and, as heretofore, has given eminent
satisfaction to the bar and to the people
AS is we'll known to our readers Judge
Livingston is candidate for the posi-.
ton he now occupies, and we feel very
safe in saying that the people of this
Chancery Division will do honor to
themselves AMI justice to the ability,
efficiency and impartiality of Judge
Livingston when they elect him. He
has made more reputation as judge,
for the short time, he has presided than
almost any man in the State occupying
at present a similar position.
When you deposit your ticket for
county Offices on the 9th of August, be
careful to deposit the name of Henry J.
Livingston in the box, which the sheriff
has charge of, for Chancellor.

OJalS S,OJS II, 20 II ID
BY this exhibit, which is correct, it VIII
be seen that in 1872 the total vote polled
by both parties was eleDen thousand t,co
hundred and sirty.Jfre less than the
strength of the District by actual count
in 1871
From the first table it will be observed
that Shelby county, with 1923 white
voters and only lO,O64 black voters went
radical in 1872 by I, 677 majority At
the same time Fayette followed with a
radical majority of ,7O9, having poIled
total vote of4,973, of which ,632 were
white and 3,34I were black; and thus
it will be seen that she fell short of her
full strength as registered in 1871 five
hundred and sixty-seven votes. Harde>
man polled 1929 out of n total of 4,OIO,
of which latter 1926 wero white and
1884 were black, leaving her score 1884
less than her total strength.
From these figures, carefully compiled
from official data, it is plain to be seen
that the reason why a radical represents
the 10th Congressional District in Cons
gress is because the Democratic and Con
sentative vote of the district was not
brought out, while the radicals polIed
their strength. Over eleven thousand
voters did not go to the polls in 1872.
VIII they be guilty of such negligence
in 1912 We hope not.
And look at Shelby-with 1859 more
white than black voters she went radical
by 1877 majority No sensible man
will say that this was due to the radical
white vote. Not a bit of it 1t was
clearly the result of inaction on the part
white men who sag they are opposed to
radicalism but who allow the merest local
issues to get the best of their judgements
and who fail to recognize the Importance
of sinking individual likes and dislikes
for the common good. We have taken
lessons in defeat long enough; now let
rs try to profit thereby.
In our Senatorial relations we stand
as follows:

White Majority. 1858

With these facts before as, and with
thousands of whites in the majority in
each District and with the division lines
tightly drawn between the advocates Of
the civil rights bill and its opponents,
we cannot see why the whole radical
ticket cannot be defeated 10 November.
so far as our immediate districts are con-
cerned All that is needed is united
action and that sense Of harmony which
a descent respect for the public welfare
demands. Let individuals and the par-

the town this morning, and firing has been
going On since. The negroes are fortified in the
residence OF Hon. VIM. Sellers. 1t is thought
two OF them were killed this evening aud sew

house near Sellers, for the purpose of burning
the blacks out. The whites have the negroes
surrounded. United States troops, marches

both parties. The fire was returned, and sew
eral were wounded on both sides. Later, Sell

Commercial says this trouble is not between the
whites and blacks, but among the friends of
Sellers and Kennedy, both white, which has
been brewing since, and which had its origin in,
the recent election. The trst-named is a re-
publican, and the latter a democrat, and the
connection Of the blacks In the affair is purely
