We notice that the i-Monopoly
Democratic Convention Of Appanoose
county, passed the following resolu-
ton:
"Res0lVed, That the delegates to the
Judicial Convention are instructed TO
vote for Hon. II. l.. Dashicll, OF Mon
roe County, for District Judge"
Of course they knew when they
did so that the Judicial Convention
would not nominate Mr.. Dashiell. rs
They knew it just As well as they will
after the sitting of that Convention,
but the little cotcrie Of mea forming
that County Convention, mostly DEM
ocrats, thought it was . good time 70
play the hypocrite for gain. They
knew that there was dissatisfaction in
certain quarters of Monroe county at
the nomination of Judge williams,
and they thought il would heighten
and increase that dissatisfaction in
that county if they would declare
for Mr.. Dashiell. 1t would cost only
q few words, . little effort from the
lips outward and nothing more, so
this pure reform party constituted Of
Democratic in tho proportion Of say
nineteen TO one, of dissenters from the
Republican party, conceived that they
could make . good hit by this move
OF course Mr.. Dashiell was not con.
suited. OF course he would not accept
the nomination from them If tender
cd, but then it was entirely safe to put
forth this dishonest buncombe resolu-
tion, for they knew it would not re-
suit in anything but buncombe, and so
this pure party plays tho hypoorito
for : purpose. Go on, gentlemen, but
