THE Columbus Times, a dem
ocratic paper, says it does not
presume to dictate to the re-
publicans, but it thinks they
would act wisely in..declining to
nominate county officers. Pol
itics it says have nothing to do
with county affairs and it would
be wise in both parties to stand
aloof and let candidates run on
their individual merits. While
tie BANNER thinks the Times is
correct in its views it sees but
little chance at present to Danish
politics from county affairs.
That it will be done in time
there is no doubt. There is a
strong and growing disposition
on the part Of great many
thinking men to eschew politics
in county as well as in city af-
fairs.

THE greenbackers of this

not support the nominees
of the Dallas convention.

GEN. BUTLER lately made a
speech at Fanuiel Hall, Boston,
in which he declared that he is
not, and would not be a candl-
date for any Office at this cleo
ton. He explained that his
present position was caused by
the recreancy of the republican
administration to the platform
of 1876, and their desertion Of
the negro in the south after
promising to protect him. He
proposes acting with the DEM
ocracy, because it can and will
protect the negroes. He at
tackled the claim of the republic
cans that the, prosperity Of the
country is due to their admin
istration. He claimed that the
present prosperity was the act
of God. and that the depression
a few years ago was caused by
resumption. He said the re-
publican party, in its long lease
Of power became corrupt, and
there can be no hope of
change under Garfield.

GIDDINGs Aug. 3Ist.
Editors Banner:
The only political race that
the people of Lee county take
much interest in is the one be-
tween Col. G. w. Jones and Mr..
Seth Shepard. Col. Jones car
ried our county at the last cleo
ton by a majority of six hun
dred and eighty two votes over
judge Hancock. Shepard's
friends are busy at work organ
izing the county into clubs, and
the prospects now are that
Shepard will certainly carry the
county by a small majority, it
is impossible to say just what
his majority will be at this writ
ing. Our Shepard club at Gid
dings now numbers over one
hundred members. On last
Saturday afternoon the 18th inst
your correspondent assisted in
organizing a Shepard club at
Lexington of ~ members; it will
grow rapidly as the notice was
limited and the people were gem
orally not aware that a club
would be formed. Although
Lexington is the strong hold of
Col. Jones in this county, we be-
lieve we will equally divide the
white vote of that box. The
Hancock men of last race-I
mean those who preferred Han
cocks nomination to that of
Shepard, are active workers for
Shepard, notwithstanding the
letters of AMT Bloody Shirt"
Everybody here believes him
nothing but a republican work.
ing for Jones. We only have
his word that he ever voted
democratic ticket, and if we,are
to test that statement by. the
general mendacity of his epis-
tles,we can't believe anything he
says. The vice in the articles of
Anti Bloody shirt" is the will
full absence of truth. A strong
personal friend of Judge Han
cock, from Fayette county, told
your correspondent only a few
days ago that Hancock's friends
in his county were not disposed
to hold Shepard responsible for
Judge Hancock's defeat,..tha it
was generally known there that
Mr.. Shepard was for six weeks
just before and up to within a
day or two of the election, bus
lily and continually engaged in
the prosecution of the Moores
for the killing of Capt. KilIough,
and that he had no time to
make a canvass for judge Han
cock.
The only objectionable sin
in the whole matter that we can
not excuse in Mr.. Shepard, and
that must be laid at his door, is
that he did not get "Anti
Bloody Shirt" to make before.
the convention that pretty little
speech for him which he SO
gracefully gave the public in
the News the other day; the
truth is, Mr.. Shepard was not
aware of his defeat in time to
call on amt Bloody Shirt"
As the convention was a gath
ering of the democracy, AMT
Bloody Shirt" had no business
there, and, we presume, was not
there, and hence Shepard's fail
ure to obtain his assistance and
make the proper speech on that
occasion. The democrats of
this county, who heard the joint
discussion between Jones and
Shepard at Middleton Springs
in Bastrop county, on last Fri
day, say that Jones came out
badly worsted, and that Shop
ard made converts in Jones
own camp. They say Shepard
carried the crowd.

Hon. JcHN HANCOCK has
written a private letter to a
friend in Galveston, a portion Of
which is printed in the Calves
ton News. He states that he
has been politically retired; that
he is content with the retiracy
and has no purpose to again en-
gage in political contests. He
concludes by saying: "This is
the day of the demagogae. and
the earnest outspoken gentle
man may not do better than
yield the field to hiu, at least
till the poeple-if they ever do
become tired Of him."

to the county convention. -.
We have shown some ting
age that there is a majority OF
white voters in this county; we
have no disposition to draw a
color line, and do not think that
it should be done. There are
a good many colored men in
this county who own property
and who pay taxes; these men
as well as the colored men who
pay only, or at all events should
pay, a poll tax, are equally in
terested in having a good, faith
full, honest and economical ad-
ministration of county affairs.
The coming convention will,
while it is called in the name of
the democracy, not be a strictly
partisan affair. The county en-
ecutive committee felt it incum-
bent upon themselves to call
the convention more for the
purpose of concentrating the
vote Of all those opposed to the
present ring management than
anything else. By this means
a multiplicity of candidates will
be avoided and fair square is
sue will be made. In reality
there is no political issue at
stake in the election of count y
officers. All the political par
ties are represented in this coun-
ty; the republican, composed
largely of colored men, has it
is supposed the greatest numer-
ical strength, while in point of
numbers the greenbackers are
the smallest. Ifthe greenback-
ers will unite with the demo-
Gratis in the selection of and vot-
ing for county ticket an easy
victory can be won over the pres
ent county officers, all of whom
with one exception, treasurer,
are candidates for reelection.
AS the county clerk, Mr.. Hugh
Lewis, is a democrat, we do not
count him as one OF the old off
GERS on either side, having ref
erence only to the republican
officials.
We take this occasion to say
that unless harmony exists and
all opposed to the present man
agement Of the county affairs
can be concentrated for conf
mon purpose there is but little
hope of success; it is as well to
understand this in the outset as
to wait and find it out by defeat.
The coming convention will af-
ford an opportunity Of harmon
izing all past differences for the
accomplishment of a common
object, one in which all tax pay
ers and citizens interested in an
economical county administra-
ton are equally interested.
