EpIroR BULLETIN The action of the
| late Joncsboro convention. which met on
the 18th ult., are unanimously ratified 10y
the Democracy and Icformcrs of Carbon
dale and Jackson county. The nomna-
tons made give universal satisfaction
here. Old jackson Will east her $50
| Democratic votes for the honest and
| highly respected gentleman. Judge Ilile-
man, for senator. In The nomination of
Hon. John III. Oberly for representative
| the convention selected the choice of our
people. In the nomination of Or. Ag-
new for the other representative our pco-
pie are highly satisfied. In the three NOM
| nations we behold men identified with
present time--Reiorm. In case Townes
and Albright should persist in making
the race for senator aud representative it
will make but little difference in The
| final result. In case Mr.. Albright should
still continue IN the race, MessIs. Oberly
aud Agncw will get at least , $50 votes
each IN this county. The writer is en-.
tirely satisfied that Mr.. Albright would
not receive enough votes To change the
result Ut the election materially.
It's earnestly hoped and believed that
Messrs. Townes AMI Albright will decline
to longer continue candidates. Both
gentlemen certainly know by this time
that they are not the choice of the people
of this district, and To continue in the
race longer would be nothing less than
folly on their part. We now look for
Townes and Albright to take wise coun-
sci and retire from the race. and in so doing
they will save themselves of defeat and
utter disgrace in the end. They are both
young men yet and have many years to
live, and the time may come for both of
them to represent the people yet in the
high offices. They certainly cannot hope
TO be elected in November, and to con-
tinue in the race further would undoubt-
edly be for no other reason than to defeat
the Democratic party this fall. They
could neither one hope to gain anything
by defeat to the party. and they could
certainly hope for gain by
the election of the full Demo
cratic ticket. Therefore, alter ma
ture del'beration We feel sure that
both Townes and Albright will decline
from further contests. BY so doing
they can aid tue party. but continuing as
candidates will not defeat either Hile-
man. Oberly or Agnew. for the ticket
nominated on the 18th of September
has .already been generally ratified, and
with such zeal and earnestaess we know
our people are determined TO give them
a hearty support. Not only will the
oi the 18th ult. be supported
by the Democracy, but also by many
Republicans. The writer could now name
twenty-five Republicans in this place
that will give it hearty support. We |
have no harsh words 10 say against either |
Towne. or Albright: We don't write this |
10 iniure either OF them. but in all candOr
| say il il written tor the good OF both
gentlemen. and we DO hope they will |
think deep down in their own hearts and
for their own good, the good Of the
party, and the country they will cease to
prevent harmony and retire from the
political field a. candidates.
Yours truly, ,EnnvDuE.
