numerous other reasons, but the above
are enough to induce every thinking
man to cast his vote in favor Of call
ing a Convention. II is not a party
question. as both the Democratic and
Republican Conventions declared in
favor Of it. A majority of all the vO-
tiers in the State is necessary to carry
the Convention, and we would urge
on every man to cast his vote in its
favor. A failure to vote counts against
the Convention.
BoBBTTT boasts that he will not de-
fend men charged with murder. and
thereby makes a point with the law
loving and law-abiding who are cred
ulous enough to believe him. 1t turns
out, however, that the reason he does not
is not from conscientious motives, but
because no one is fool enough to employ
him. After making a big blow here
for the prosecution in the trial Of Sam
Holmes, he went to John Holmes,
brother Of Sam, and told him that for
a small fee he would appear at Som
erset for the defense. Mr.. Holmes
spurned his offer, and that's why Mr..
Bobbitt continued in the prosecution.
Is the man that would make such an
advance honest? And do you wish to
have = dishonest man represent you ?
Decide this Monday by voting for
Gooch--a man who would scorn a
bride, much less court one.
To REDUCE the Democratic MAORI
ty in the State and elect few menu
bers to the Legislature are the hopes
that buoy the Radical candidates for
State Offices. Should they succeed in
this. Evans and the balance of the
ticket will be given some fat govern
ment offices for their labOrs, and their
object will be accomplished. Demo-
Gratis who are for free elections and
fair juries, do not let your apathy lead
to such results, but go to the polls and
vote the ticket from first to last.
Mr.. GoocH has fought his way
along up to his present position by
dint of hard work and honest exer-
tons. He has conducted himself we'll
in every capacity, as school teacher,
farmer, County Surveyor, and IN ali
the private relations of life. He is
an example to young men Of far bet
ter opportunities. lie is yet, young
man himself, and the young men all
over the county should rally to his /
and eject him by a rousing
majority. d
A WHITE man who would rob
poor old colored man of half his al.

please tell how much money he "took" c
from poor old Shelby Owsley, while d
he was County Attorney, as a fee for
getting such an allowance for him ? g
And yet Bobbitt PROCESSES to be the

BoRnITT says no rich man would
run against him, and that the rich
men set up Mr.. GoOch rs a can
iidate. only rs a sacrifice. In other !
words. to be beaten by him. Let the
rich men rebuke this vile lie as il O
ought to be. Mr.. GoOch is a poor a
man, but he is a true ard honest man, }
and the rich men and property holders
are not afraid to risk their interests in |,
bis hands. and they will all vote for \
him.
