URQn the eve Of the election, we
may be pardoned for q brief reference
to the course of the Register, during
the exciting canvass about to close.
Although the editor Of this paper
has come in for a large share Of per.
sonal abuse from the Republican or.
Egan in this county, yet no harsh OF
unki9d word from us has been elici.
ted ii return. Undetermined in
the outset Of the canyass to deal with
principles, not men. The aspersions
usually thrown upon the. private
character Of candidates for Office,
have found no favor with us, or had
no place in this paper. Such was
the plan determined on at the begin
ming, and to such policy we have ad-
hered tothtoughout. Toireason, not
to passion or prejudice, we have ad.
dressed our remarks. To friends and
foes the columns of our paper have
been opened for the vindication Of
false charges. Along with others we
'subhit our claims to the suffrages Of
our fellow-county men, conceding to
them the same honesty and sincerity

NEXT Tuesday, we can point with
pride to the fact, that our paper has
not lent its aid to blacken the char.
acter Of any man now running for
office. II it should be the pleasure
Of the people to cast their votes for

duct ourself and to SO work for the
interestsof the people of the county
and State, aeto at least merit their

Greenbackers, before you attempt
to associate with anybody go to the
Court House and get written per-
nit, or else you will bring down the

your heads.-Tribatne- Monitor.
We have not INDUCED in any abuse
of the Greeback party or its candi.
dates, that we know Of. So far as we
know their candidates are all gentle.
men. The attempt Of the Tribune
Monitor to convey the impression that
we have been abusing the Greenback
party, is simply silly, and every
Greenbacker in the county knows
that the charge is not true. But
sometimes drowning men will catch
at straws, and this is the condition
in which the Republican party is in
now; it is drowning and there is no
help for it.
Vote for Polsley for State Sen
ator. He is an able lawyer, and
will be Of great service in that
body in assisting in the codify-
ling of our laws.
1t seems 10 have been the desire Of
some Of the Republicans to belittle
and bemean Mr.. Simpson, Democrat
ic candidate for Prosecuting Attor-

they want to defeat him if possible.

capable, faithful and efficient officer,
and deserves, as he will receive, a
reelection.
Vote for Charles V. Stewart

He is true Democrat, and is in
every way qualified to discharge
the duties Of the office; besides
he is a cripple and needs the
office.
