The statement has been made that Judge
John II. Mcdaniel, OF the County Court OF
Campbell, and late an independent member
OF the Legislature, was opposed TO the Ma
lone electoral ticket. This statement is
confirmed in the strongest manner by cor
respondence between the Judge and Mr..
Il. ID. GaIleon, Of Campbell county, which
will appear tomorrow. The Judge SAYS
that although he has always been Read
juster, and was pioneer in the cause, he
does not see what that issue hIs TO do with
national politics, and strongly deprecates
the independent ticket. He says the rank
and file of The Rea0justers will vote the
regular ticket scItc.ed by the May Conven-
ton.
