Editor Herald:
There are periods in the history Of Ma
tons, States, individuals, and we think
in political parties, when forbearance
ceases to be Il virtue These premises
being admitted 10y all to be true, we pros
pose, in this short communication, to
enter our solemn protest against q very
few malcontents, who persist in trying TO
STIR up strife, where, but for them, there
would he none. There has appeared in
the HERALD a: least two communications
from the gushing. though we think miss
guided, pen of your Rosinc correspondent,
which, to say the least of, is ill>timed and
out Of place. aud it they have any innu-
ence at all, it cannot be good, but must
have the opposite effect, when 1t is known
10y all that the political slate for the next
election Is made up, and with "a good or
better satisfaction than is generally the
result under the circumstances, now why
continue to carp and howl about it The
| fact is. somebody has 4 duh axe to grind !;
| have been left out in the cold or want
notoricty. The fact is, all such should
step down and out, and go over to those
whose interest they are serving, for one
enemy in the camp is more to be dreaded
than ten inside their own lines. Then
why all this hutter about Pigeon RoOst
We certainly have :irst~class ticket in
the coming-August election, in the person
of our young and promising friend, Capt.
Sam Z. Hill, for the Senate, who is hon
est, Industrious, sober; of first-class NOR
a! character, and has intellectual attain
ments above common, and good, hard,
horse sense enough to be at all times
master OF the situation in the State Sens
ate. 1t is true he is fine lawyer. but
that is so much the better, all other mat
ters being equal.
In our venerable friend, W. D. Coles
man, we have all the elements necessary
in the makeup OF good Representative.
He, too, is honest, sober, and an honored
member of his church. Jealous in every
good and laudable enterprise, has good
intellectual requirements, aud plenty
of good, hard, common sense to i'll with
dignity the place to which he aspires.
Tie is q irst>class farmer and il not the
best, is one of the best stock men in the
county, having done more to improve the
stock than any other man known to US.
do not write these lines with ill-feelings
towards any one, but simply in the hope
that il there Is dissatisfaction in the ranks
to any extent, they may reflect. | can as
sure you there is more unanimIty of feel
ing here than usual, and all will heartily
support the ticket. SUBSCRIBER.

Editor Herald:
see in your issue Of the 10Th INST a
communication from f. F. Tillord, also
one before that, calling on the Democrat
ic committee to call another convention
for the purpose of selecting candidate
for the Legislature d do not wish to get
into controversy on this subject, but in
my judgment the call is out of time.
We have candidate that was regular
ly nominated by a convention regularly
organized, and his claims, with others,
we're submitted to that convention, com>
posed of delegates from all the districts
in the county. Coleman was the choice,
and so declared by the Chairman.
The aim of some of the friends Of Mr..
Barrett was to defeat Mr.. Hooker. which
we did, and the whole aim of Mr.. Hook
er's friends was to defeat Mr.. Barrett.
which they did by going for Mr.. Cole
man. Now, as we were defeated in our
choice, let us rally to the support Of Mr.
Coleman. We CAN elect him the Ques-
ton is WILL WE DO 1T. Let every true
Democrat in the county respond"we WILL
and the work will be done.
We should vote for Mr. Coleman not
only because he is a substantial farmer.
and an honest man, both of which he is,
but because lie is q true Democrat
clothed with the nomination of the party.
Hush talking of another candidate. 1t
another convention was called we have
no assurance but what the same veXa'
lions might arise, and probably with
more aggravating features. Let us rally
on the first Monday in August resolved
on victory. Let it not be said that we
were for Mr.. Hooker, Mr.. Barrett or any
body else, but let it be published abroad
that we are for the Democratic party and
Democratic principles, and for the DEM
cratic nominee. john NJ. LEACH.
