INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE FOR
COUNTY COMMISSIONER.

Ma. JOHN w. McCURDY, of Charles
tawn, who is well known throughout this
county. will be generally supported for the
office of County Commissioner. There are
many voters who will not vote for some one
of the nominees; hence, Nc. McCurdy is
certain to receiee a large uote at zach pre-
cinct.
We don't intend to disparage either of
these gentlemen, but do not hesitate to say
Mr.. MeGurdy combines as many strong
points as either Of them.
He is conspicuous for integrity. good,
sound Judgment and prudence, and has the
leisure to give the business proper attention,
and, if elected, will do it. He is hereby an,
pounced rs an Independent candidate for
County Commissioner. Voters! We would
suggest. if you don't want to vote for either
Col. Baylor. Mr.. Melvin or Mr. Stridsr on
next Tuesdays scratch his name aud inser,

Commissioner you will be proud of.

Mr.. Editor.-Next Tuesday is the day of
election, and a day of great Importance to
both the voter and candidate, and among the
most important considerations of the voter is
the selection Of a Judge. We do not think
the thinking man who exercises tho right of
suffrage will be led by the nose by either the
talker on the street or the newspaper, which
to-day cries, Stick to the nominee; rally,
rally" but We think that the Rejecting
voter will consult the record of those from
whom proceeds this cry and see if il. is con-
sistent with their former course. The Ju,
dietary, fellow %citizsns, should be above
politics. You all know it and feel it. Ex-
press that conviction at the polls ON the
l2th by voting for the Hon. Jas. n Grove
Do not be frightened by the cry of Repub.
lican success, but inquire how far the as
sumed nominee is responsible for it. Rumor
IS sometimes very correct. A VOICE.

man. and in favor of corporations.
When chapter 81 of the Acts Of 1879,

labor is performed, Mr.. Butler voted against
the bill. Also, when chapter IL, Of the

%"FAULKNER OR WIsNHR."

Under the above caption, the Free Press
in its last issue refuses to 'chew its own
cud, and throws aside the controversy as a
''side ISSUE" we did not invite the con-
troversy, aud very willingly relinquish it.
We have only defended ourselves against an
unjust attack made by the Free Press upon
the course of this journal in %denouucing the
manner and means used in the consumma.
ton of the Senatorial and Judicial nomina>
lions, and in that defense we merely used
arguments and precedents furnished by that
''simon puro" journal, which it does not seem
to relish. We are not aware of any thing in
any of our editorials that in any wise en-
dorses or even squints at an endorsement of
the action of these conventions, and if tho
Free PrcSs has discovered any such, we will
now withdraw it: We will not endorse a
wrong that good may come out of it.
If Mr.. Faulkner is not elected on Tues
day next, the fault will not lie at our door,
but the fault will be at the door of those DO
litical bosses, who, utterly disregarding
party usages and amenities, command. the
people to fall down and worship any image
they may set up, and who are now, as we
IRE credibly Informed. knocking at Republi-
can doors with the offer to trade votes for
Wisner for votes for Butler. 1t was our
earnest desire that our Judicial nominee
should be fairly nominated, and it is our
wish now that he shall not thus be unfairly
dealt with. LET every tub stand on its own
bottom"
Tho newly appointed Democratic Exeeu-
tive Committee of Jefferson county met in
Charlestown Friday, October 9Th, 1880. and
organized by the election of Hon. W. n. T.
LEWIS as Chairman, and JOHN NJ. DAM
TEL as Secretary.
1t was stated to the committee, by Mr..
u. Grove Henklc, that Mr.. Mosre, of Eall>
town precinct, declined to serve as a member
OF the committee. Mr.. j. W. Rider was ap-
pointed to fill the vacancy.
The following resolution was sdonted bv
the committee:
That each member OF the Executive Conn.,
m1ttee exert himself to the best of his .b;l;,,
to bring cut tho full vote of the eountv foy
the Democratic nominees, both at the 0c,o.
Der and November elections.
The committee adjourned, subject to the
call of the chairman.

REASONS WHY.

The people will, in a few days, pass sen
teHee on the various candidates before them
tor office, and while most of the nominees
commend themselves to their support,
think the nominee for State Senator comes
under the exception. He certainly stands
in no situation to cry boiler to those who,
disregarding the party ties, cast their suffra
ses for his opponent. In the fall of 1872,
it will be remembered that this same gentle.
man not only refused to support, but took
the stump and made an active canvass
against + Willis Wilson, the regular Demo-
cratic nominee for the same position, who
came before the people in a fair and given
nomination. He cannot complain that he
receives the same measure he melted to
others.
But there is another objection to the
nominee. In 1879, when the Legislature
was in session and q petition was sent to him
BY the people of Morgan, he not only re-
fused to present the same, but said he did
not represent the people of Morgan. We
want a man who will represent the district,
and no particular part of it. Aud now he
is the nominee of what? Not of Morgan,
certainly, for that county cast no vote for
him. Not of Jefferson, for this county, by
q large majority, named DR.. Starry as her
choice, but he is the nominee of Berkeley.
and forced upon the people of Jefferson aud
Morgan in violation of precedent and party
usage, and l suppose, if he should be SO for
tunate as 80 be elected. he will be the repre-
sentative of Berkeley, and not of jefferson
or Morgan.
The party lash is now being applied to
whip in the people to the support of this
man, whe eight years ago was a bolter with>
out cause, bat 1 hope the people will have
manliness and independence enough to pay
him haaL IN HE oro ooi, Nrurcr,

STATE PRESS REVIEW.
The People of the south
San Antonio Times.


4 Mr. Thomas Hughes arrived at Knoxville,
be n, and was met at the depot by the
mayor and committee of three hundred
citizens. In replying to a speech of wei
come Mr.. Hughes said he appreciated the
Nelcoms extended 70 him, and wa. agreeably
eurprsed in his reception. From what he
had heard he expected to find the people of
the south intolerant, but found them instead
cultured refined and ssciable. It will prob
ably be surprising to some of the constant
readers of the New York Tribune, Chicago
Inter-0cesn, and papers Of that stripe, if
they should accidentally sec that Mr.. Hughes
says that our people are cultured, refined
socisble." This may probably upset some
of their preconcelved notions about US, al
which, really, if they did not work us such
injury, we should feel inclined to laugh on
account of their sbsuriity. But Mr.. Hughes
is not alone in the opinion he has expressed.
Many northern men who have settled in our
section have made, and contnne to make the
same report. Nor have they all been Demo-
Gratis either, though many of them formerly
Republicans, after residing among us a while,
do attach themselves to the party of respect
ability and home rule. We would be pleased
to see more of them come among us, to have,
like Mr.. Hughes, their minds disabused of
preconCeived notions regarding US.

The Republicans of Indiana will make
their last desperate campaign effort at ln-
disnapolis, next Friday, the 9th instant
Gen. GraEps presence is to be invoked as $
strong card, and without doubt he will be
expected to re-enunciste the sentiments ex.
pressed in the letter he read at Warren,
Ohio, last week. This gathering at Indiana
polls is 10 be q fife and drum demonstration.
"The Boys in Blue" composed of ex.union
soldiers who are Republicans, will assemble
in force. Gen. Grant is the head of the or
gsnization-at least his name is always
signed to its official promulgations-and
once again he will be expected to tell these
eX.soldiers shat they are 10 fight the battle
for the union again. Every appliance and
method Of seetionalism will be utilized to
build up Republican enthusiasm, and we
dare say the demonstration will have more
or less political effect 1t will be the cul.
mination os the canvass in Indians, as the
state election takes place four days later, on
the 18th. 1t ia q willy move, but not
until the people of Indiana vote next
week, will we be willing to re-
gard it successful one. 1t cannot be that
the conservatism and common sense of
great state, like Indisns, will consent to be
led BY sectional arguments and appeals any
longer. 1t must be the people there are as
ready 10 believe the war is over as are the
people of New York, New Jersey and Con
neciicut. We believe Indiana will respond to
the appeal to put check on the spirit of
strife and Misrepresentation, by giving her
vote to the Democratic party. 1t Is a mat
ter of regret that such an eminent and de-
servh G citizen as General Grant is willing 10
countenance these resorts TO sectionalism.
The country would prefer to see him rise
above such methods. But If he and his CO.
workers are to be rebukeG, il is far better that
such rebuke should come from Indiana, and
at this particular juncture than from any
other state in the union. The effect will be
all the better for the national Democracy,
and the indianapolis reunion may yet prove
one of the potent agencies that shall decide
the American people to place General Han
cock in the presidents chair.
