SOME Of the papers in this state
that are advocating the election of
Gen. Wright as governor, have a
queer way of doing it. The Hen
derson Herald has Wright's name
at its masthead, and says this in an
editorial:
ITO take q straight forward unpre-
JUDGED view of state politics, We are OF
the opinion that the success of the
high lax democracy is little 'glim-
mering."
Whatever e sc may be said of Col.
Wilson, the bolting candidate, he Is a
shrewd man, and we believe him to be
honest in bis opinions.
"S. F. Wilson, the l0w.tax candidate
for governor. is only So years old. He
entered the confederate army at the
age of 16, and soon lost an arm, but he
never quit the army but was with
Johnston when he surrendered to
Sherman, having served as q private
all the time, and loaded and fired his
musket with but one arm. This is the
kind of man Judge Wright will
have to beat. AS a stump speaker, we
think HIM superior to Wright, md he
is man with good deal of what il
| called personal magnetism and viii
make friends wherever ne goes.
"Candor cOmpels US to say that IN
less there is some kind of cOmpro'
| mise effected between the two wings
of democracy, Judge Wright will be
defeated. This is an unprej JUDGED
view OF the matter. and the End o
November will show it to be correc
! one.n
