HAMPSHIRE, Tenn, June 25, 1874.
To the Editors of the Columbia Herald:
Having determined to withdraw from the
canvass as a candidate for Tax Collector |
wish to make my withdrawal public by
publishing 1t in your paper. In the pub
ihSed account of the speeches made by the
candidates in Columbia on the LIST Monday
of this month, Mr.. Mr.. Latta is reported as
saying that was secretly running for sher-
if, &c. 1t is but just to myselfan it is due
to the voters of this county, to say that Mr..
Lattas assertions are untrue. When man
is so hard pressed as to resort to such mis-
representations as this, he must be very
hard run indeed. l am not q candidate for
sheriff secretly or any other way think
If wanted the office of sheriff, have the
manhood about me to ask for it like a gem
tleman and not as a sneak as he would
have me to appear. l wish to say to the
people in conclusion, that am out of the
canvass, and believing that the liberal in
dependent candidates and voters desire NV
support, shall cheerfully give it to them.

- In speaking of New York State
politics the Albany Evening Journal
says:
''The eminent purity of Governor
Dix's management of public affairs has
been recognized throughout the land.
"His infexible opposition to all
jObbery has become SO much a prov
erb that it is commonly spoken of as
idle to pass any doubtful measure so
long as he remains Governor, since
it is sure to be killed by the executive
vets. In enforcing economy at all
points he is as vigilant and firm as in
enforcing purity. That portion of the
State administration which is in harmO
ny with the Governor has carried out
the pOlicy of fretrenchment with an I'M
sparing hand"
