REV. TALMAGE has been max
ing a tour of inspection among
the gilded places of vice in New
York City. He also found out
that these sinks of iniquity were
most literally patronitzed by
the wealthy and highly respect
able business and professional
men of the city. A paper SEN
teetionly remarks: Certainly
he didn't suppose such costly
places were supported by street
bcggars."

Ex-Governor Davis in his

Mhat win You Do,

kpming election offers
H. 49, opportunity that has
Errheen had for the conserva-
I've Mii1e~nen and taxpayers
ofehis county to elect a white
mans ticket. The white people
are in the majority and if they
will oniS>unite and throw aside
all personal preiudices it can
be done. The republican party
has family quarrel-they have
neither principles nor politics
office is what they want, and be-
cause all the cormorants could
not get the nominations they
have split up among themselves,
and with but two exceptions,
have two sets of candidates i'll
the field. We are sorry to see
opposition to the Democratic
nominees by independent and
sreenback candidates. Because
every man cannot have an office
conventions have been resorted
to in order to determine who
shall be run. Nominations have
been made and it is now too
late to complain. All personal
considerations should be laid
aside and none but the regular
nominees voted for. as by con-
certed action alone can we ex-
pect to win. Every vote in the
county election cast for an indie
pendent candidate counts one
for the negro-radical party. If
man fails to vote at all he does
a grievous wrong, not SO much
to himself as to the good people
who are endeavoring to rid
themselves of republican mis-
rule. Every reading and think
ing man in the county knows
its financial condition and also
knows the rate of taxation and
the price of jury, and county
scrip. Is it desirable that this
state of affairs continue? Would
it not be better for all concerned
to elect the Democratic ticket
and by SO doing lessen our tax
alton and have county scrip
worth dollar for dollar. On
Tuesday next the people will
determine for themselves wheth-
er they will split up into factions
or by uniting in solid phalanx
drive the negrophilites to the
wall.

Schutze, tne candidate of ina
negro-radical layout viii be
elected,
For county surveyor J. w.
Dallas, the present efficient in
cumbent, is the Democratic can
didare. J, w. SsYles is the nom
inee of the grecnbsckers for the
same position.
For county treasurer there
are three candidates in the field,
personally they are very clever
gentlemen. R. L. Bassett, is
the Democratic nominee and as
such should receive the unani-
nous support of every conser-
vative voter. c. Asbeck is the
nominee of the negro county
convention. w. H. Cooke, start
ed out in search ofoffice as an in
dependent, but has been con-
verted to the greenback faith
and is now the candidate of
that party. A liberal vote for
Mr.. w. H. Cooke will insure
the election of Mr.. Asbeck, as
he will hardly fail to poll the
entire strength of his party-a
party by the way, which has ar
rayed itself against the whites.
The colored people are not SO
much to blame for this as are
the white men who are seeking
Office at their hands.
For the legislature Capt. J..
M. Williams is the nominee of
the Democracy. He has made
an extended canvass of the
county and the people generally
know where to find him. B. G.
Guy, colored, is the republican
candidate and the white radical
office seekers stand pledged to
support him. AS an individual,
we have no fault to find with
MIR. Guy. but for the good he
will do the county in the legis-
lature, it would be much better
and a great deal cheaper to
send to St.Louis or Chicago and
and buy a wooden man, such as
are used for signs at tobacco
stores in the cities and send it
to represent Washington county
at Austin. The wooden man
would have the advantage of
maintaining a digni6ed silence.
Mr.. R. E. Carter, the head CEN
ter of the greenbackers, has
their endorsement for the legis-
lature. Every vote cast for
Carter. counts one for Guy, and
is a very direct, indirect. way OF
voting for him.

THEIR ENDORSEMENT.

The greenback convention
assembled here on Monday and
as will be seen the official pro-
eeedings published elsewhere;
they have endorsed and pledged
themselves to vote for all green
back candidates, including jon
es. Holman. Carter, Billingslea
and Cooke; all of these men
from Jones for congress down
to Cooke for county treasurer
have, until recently; claimed to
be independent. The green
hackers claimed to have neither
sympathy nor afiliation with the
republicans; yet they pledged
their support to Homan, who
in his speeches has openly said
that he had been a republican,
but never at any time was a
Democrat, and whatever his as
servations may be in regard to
his being an independent it will
be found that he is in sympathy
with the republican party; this
should be plain to every man
who has heard Romans speech
es and his fulsome laudations
of Gov. Davis administration,
coupled with filings at the Dem
ocracy. 1t is not only asser-
ted, but is claimed, that a ma
iority of the members of the
greenback organization in this
county have heretofore been
Democrats. If this be true, are
they not going straight into the
enemy's camp by supporting
Homan9 OF Jones the BANNER
has already spoken freely. He
and Hancock have been heard
by good many of our citizens
and they are free to choose be-
tween them.
In regardto the endorsement OF
representative and county Off
GERS it is as clear as the noon
day sun that neither Carter,
BiFlingslea or Cooke can be cleo
ted; as to the candidate for
county surveyor it will be diff
cult for him to tell that he had
ever been a candidate. All the
straight Democrats and a great
many non-partisans will vote for
Williams, the white mans can
didate, as against Guy, colored,
who is running on the radical-
negro ticket. 1t is plain pro-
position that every white vote
cast for Carter takes one from
Williams and adds that much
to Guys strength; in truth it is
an indirect way OF voting for the
negro. Can men who have
been lifelong Democrats justi-
fly themselves in doing so?
This will most inevitably be the
case and it is the veriest folly
for greenbackers to vote for
Mr.. Carter. He may be a very
clever and competent gentle
man, but the time and the aus
pices under which he enters the
race make it folly to vote for
him. The colored troops fought
nobly, and when it comes to an
election, they generally manage
to range themselves on the side
opposed to the white men.
