KOrtrecht in the seventh Ward.
In the seventh ward, Tuesday night, the
Nationals had crowd of some fifty hearers,
mostly boys, of both colors. One of the
speakers, Mr.. Kortrecht, INDUCED in his
usual hobbies, chief of which was that the
Democratic party was responsible for the
hardships of the workingmen of Shelby coun-
ty. He also made the statement that the
ngroes would receive no protection from the
Democrats In any manner or form, and said
that the colored people were sent t. Presi
dents island without mercy, and were only
allowed ten cents day for labor performed,
and that when sick they were compelled to
pay fifty cents. Misrepresentation of facts is
the game played by the Nationals, and while
Kortrecbt was recklessly engaged he was in
terrupted by Colonel Jesse Forrest aud made
to correct the untruths uttered.

State:
TROY NO., June 10, 1878.
| announce myself candidate for re-elec-
ton to the Office Of clerk of the county court,
cI1ln pat IN no q n IlpnlnPra
party, believing that the tax payers of Lin
coin county appreciate the course l have pur-
sued in economizing In every way that pos
sibly could, and saving to the taxpayers an
amount almost equal to that of my salary, in
excess of Office fee1. If reelected | pledge a
faithful, earnest ani impartial discharge of
the duties of the cftice. am your obedient

To the CitIzans of Lincoln County:

the office of collector of Lincoln county, sub
ject to the nomination of the Democratic
party. If elected l pledge myself to collect
the revenue of the county tor fifteen hundred

Mr. w. A. Woodson has served the county
acceptably for the term of office he was elect
ed to by the Democrats. He promised the
people of Lincoln county, should he be elect
ed, to give all money over fifteen hundred
dollars that should be received in the way of
fees and emoluments to the county, binding
the county to pay for an assistant clerk only.
He has faithfully performed his contract, and
comes to the front to serve the Democrats
again. Moral-The Democrats have been
faithful in promises, and can be again. W.
B. Thornhill, an intelligent tiller of the soil,
promises to collect the taxes of his county, as
a hove sand He will he able tO give his bond
from wealthy citizens of his county. The
amount collected from the people of that
good county has heretofore been about one
hundred thousand dollars. If he should be
the nominee of his party he certainly will be
elected, for the county has a voting popula-
ton of three thousand, twenty-five hundred
of the voters being Democrats. Democratic
precedents for county officers in our own
State, ought be good guide for Democrats
of Shelby county in the present contest.
DEMOCRAT.
