know this. IL the assertion should be
made, that he would not have been NOM
mated II all the delegates from jackson
and Union had been present-thathe was
the nominee of a rump convention--he
could not. with proof OF the denial, deny
the assertion. lie therefore believed that
both he aud Mr.. Albright ought TO with
draw from the ticket. Accordingly, nc
withdrew. lie could not get his own
consent to remain on the ticket when
his right to remain on it could be even
questioned.
If Mr.. Albright should conclude to look
at the matter in this way. and should also
withdraw from the ticket the difficulty
can be arranged. re he does not do so,
the future will tell the result of the re-
fusal. He will 60 into the canvass with
a battle on his hands-a battle in
which he will be required to fight, not
for his party, but for the vndcation OF
his own private character. This may be
as pure as snow; but it has been assailed
by reputable Democrats and by Demo-
cratic papers, and 10 elect him the
charges must be met and disproyed. II
may be possible to do this; but at this
time the Democratic party cannot afford
to waste effort in defending the character
of office-seekers. Ii must not stop to
become the champion OF any man a!
whose door have been laid charges at.
fecting his integrity, if the charges have
come from sources that demand attention
and are entitled To respect.
Concerning the candidacy of Col.
Townes, Mr.. Oberly has but little to say
The charges against the colonel-those
against him which affect his character
for honesty and integrity-have come in
questionable form, and may or may not
assume dangerous shape and proportions
but Mr. o. knows, of his own knowledge,
nothing OF these char ges; and therefore
with him, until proof has been furnished
that will knock the props from under the
good opinion he entertains OF that gen
tleman, Col. TONNES will be to him the
honest gentleman he has been for years
About the other charges against Col
TOwnes, Mr.. o. is dumb, Yielding tC
the current of goOdfellowship, too many
of the best men float away from the
staid habits OF those who look not upor

has been given to put this tyraut unde

LETTER TO COL. TONNES AND N X
ALBRIGHr.
CAIRO. ILLINOIS. August =. 1876.

CAIRO. ILLINOIS. August =, 1876.
To Col. Robert X. Townes and Hon. Fountaine
Z. Albright, nominees of the late Jone sboro
Democratic Convention Of the Fifteth Senate
rial District of Illinois
GENTLEMEN The incidents OF the
convention of the Democratic party OF
this senatorial district, held at JOnesboro,
on Thursday last, Sd inst. have, in my
opinion, made so inharmOnious the con-
stituency of the delegates to that conven.
ton as to render the success OF the ticket
nominated by 1t an uncertainty. Certain
gentlemen who are, In my opinion, OF
cool heads and good judgment, go far
ther than this and say, that the action of
the convention, as expressed in Its ticket,
has not only created profound dissatis-
faction among the Democrats Of the dis
trtct, but has also impeded, in some de-
gree at least, the sentiment of approval
of the lately declared policies of the
Democratic party, which sentiment has,
since the work Of the st. Louis conven-
ton was done, made such encouragingly
rapid progress among all classes of citi-
zens OF Southern Illinois. TO attempt to
place upon anybOdy's shoulders the re-
sponsibility tor the discord-creating incl
dents and action OF that convention, is
not my purpose. i shall be satisfied
with the performance Of the duty OF call
ing to your attention the fact that the dis
satisfaction and discord to which | have
referred do actually exist, and of request
ing you to make with me an unselfish ef-
fort to exercise them from the Demo
cratic party of the district, by doing that
which will restore to it the harmony and
unity of purpose that, until the meeting
OF the Jonesboro convention, marked 1t
so cOnspicuously.
Those who are denOuncing the action
OF the convention say, that the Democrats
OF the district not only did not desire the
nomination OF the gentlemen who are its
nominees, but were really particularly
anxious that they should be kept of the
ticket. The reasons given by the dissat-
isfied Democrats for this assertion will
not state. 1t Is enough for me to know
that such an assertion has been made,
not by one or two persons only, or by
few unworthy men delighting In the
evil pastime OF wagging slanderous
tongues, but by many Democrats OF un-
doubted honesty and patriotism-men
who are unselfshly laboring In the cause
oil political reform, and whose influence
Is OF such weight in the community that
IL cannot he safely ignored. To assert
that these men are mistaken will not be
sufficient. Ifthey are in error about this
matter, they must be convinced of their
error; or else, acting upon it, they may
