Candidates.

Candidates.
Never in the recollection of the Oldest
inhabitants were there 80 many gentle
men in the county of Washington willing
to serve the PEOPLE as officers. We sug-
gest that all the aspirants meet in this
place on Monday The 9th of April, as that
is the time for our Circuit Court, and
make arrangements if it becomes necos>
sary to get Gisintercstcd persons to hold
the election, to send to other counties for
Judges and Clerks. 1t is further sug-
gestcd that'tbe candidates appear in pros
cession on the street, and that those who
are not able to walk aud keep up with
the crowd be carried along in easy chairs
by their opponents. We believe there
are three classes of candidates that would
need assistance in the procession, viz
The weak, gangling and lean.
The MANNED and crippled.
The fat man.
All these will have to be supported
and assisted along in order to make a
grand display. As the ladies and chill
dren of the county will be the spectators,
we hope that harmony aud good order
will prevail. We expect to be along in
the crowd, and if any fellow fails to do
his duty, or refuses to "tote fair" We will
report him in the next paper.

forcibly of the departed. The once hap
