Republicans for Elliott.

The reception Gen. Elliott met every.
where in this county was very gratifying
both to him and to the people whose
cause he champions. The last meeting he
held in this county was last Saturday eve
ming, in Pleasant Valley, Hampton tp. land
| it was rouser-the large new school house
packed to overfowing, and many unable to
gain admission. The meeting was called
to order by Supervisor Silvis, and H. O.
Norton. Esqr Of Hampton, was chosen
chairman. Mr.. Norton is Republican o.
known zeal and influence, and one of the
warmest and most active friends of Mr..
Hawley in the upper end of the county
but the corrupt and unfair means resort
ed to to defeat that gentleman Disguised
Mr.. Norton with the whole management,
and he has taken off his coat for hard work
in the Independent Reform movement
for Gen. Elliott and the entire Indepen.
dent Reform ticket in this county. Re.
publicans who know Norton know that he
means "biz." And we can assure oul
readers that Mr.. Norton is not alone il
this movement. Hundreds of Republi-
cans believe, with the Cambridge Chront-
Gle, the leading Hawley paper in this dis
trict, which paper, just after Henderson
and Moderwell nomination said
"When a set of political gamblers fasten
themselves upon party, and habitualIy
manipulate and pervert it's conventions
"by trickery and fraud carving their ends
against the majority and nullifylng the
representative principle in our conSen-
'tions--in slch case, we say, there rs
mo harm that can come to that party so
great as the success of these men at The
polls"
And hundreds of Republicans in this
district, many of whom we know personal
ly. are going, like Mr., Norton, to repudi
ate the tricksters and, this fall, vote the
clean, straight Independent Reform ticket.
In view of this fact we appeal to all who
claim to be Democrats. Independents, OIL
members Of the Opposition, to 60 to worl
and get every friendly voter to the POLL
and aid these Republicans in electing thu
Independent Reform candidates. If the.
are willing to help us, do not let the cleo
ton of our candidates be lost by inaction
on our part.

A Radical Repudiator.

The notorious Bill Stokes, one of the
most violent Radicals in Tennessee, Is a
candidate for congress in his district. tie
made speech at Athens, Tennessee, a
few days ago, in which he avowed himself
as being in favor of repudating all the
bonds Of the United States unless the
United States would pay two Thousand
millions of dollars to the late slave holders
of the South, in payment for the slaves
which the government eniranchised during
the war. If prominent Democrat were
to publicly assume such position as this
the Radical press throughout the Cnior
would raise an unceasing howl, attributlne
it to so called rebel proclivities. Stokes
is utterly devoid of principle, and the
views expressed by him are worthy only 0
such miserable politics as he has been TIN
exponent of since 1861. He stands abou
as much chance of being elected to con
gress as Ben Butler does of getting t
