MERCER MENTION.
A Western Man for President
Faulkner for GovernOr-ken-
na for Congress.

Correspondence OF the REGISTER
MERCER County, w. ",
March II, 1880. !
As you arc publishing reports OF the
preferences Of various counties oi tho
State for public officers, probably you
would be pleased to hear from the South
west.
We prefer for President Western
man, hence We desire to see Thurman
or Hendricks ut the head OF the ticket.
For Governor OF the State. no man
stands higher in our estimation than the
Hon. G.. J. Faulkner. We are well
pleased with most Of the incumbents ut
the head OF the department OF State, but
not with all, and our objections will bc
made known at the proper time.
Hon. J. T.. kenna is our choice ior the
House of Representatives, toto cOt,o.
Hon. Frank Hereford has made US u
faithful representative in the u. ;.
Senate, and this is no time to swap him
OH for new, unframed man. We will
our behalf when We were unCitlEcnlzed
hy the manacles OF test oalhs, and We
desire to continue to manifest our graft
tude for disinterested iayors conferred.
The County Court system is not all
for which heart could wish, but We
didn't think it good policy to snatch at
everything which proposes change,
therefore We want something better
than has been given to us in the form OF
the Amendment to the Constitution. y
We anticipate a strong majority against
the amendment in this county.
The Concord Normal School is in Il
prosperous condition, although the State
withdrew its fostering care, and thus
said to its youngest child, Root pig or
die"
The prospect for wheat crop here
has never been better An open, mild
winter has favored the prospect.

contained In the memorial seemed 70
the Senator to b. both plain aud Just.
The mass Of iucongruities and huge mo.

hsps, DO revised, - II ought TO DO, at
the present session of Cougross, but In

presented In the publishers petition
constituted an exceptional case. These
tariff exsctions yielded the govern.
ment no revenue. but they benefited

OIL M = pretext for unreasonable prices.
The great city papers could stand this,
perhaps, and take care of themselves
under almost any condition Of things,
but the country oapsrs felt the burden
very severely, and they had Q struggle
to carry such an undeservcd load. II
was not wise nor proper for Congress to
do anything ~ hamper the press, for,
