My DEAR EDITOR :

growing away Justify for McNoigh
Driver, Bacchus, Garlick, Sc, while
the others cranium is at an angle
indicating a comotion somewhere
about his gastric regIons-thc re-
suit of an over dose OF some un-
palatable phisic, | suppose, whose
tendency is an involuntary rising,
and all that too, on account OF a
man being elected to the sheriils
Office, 4 man who has proven him
self true and faithful officer du.
ring the TWO years of his service,
against whom no evil tongue can,
with justice to itself, utter 4 com
plant. In answer TO your query
as 10 "what constitutes the bond OF
union between lIaskins and the
men who refused TO vote the state
ticket? How were they consoli-
dated? l will tell you Dear Editor,
that he worked for their support
night aud day, he being known to
these men a3 an impartial officer to.
wards all shades Of color, social and
worldly standing. Did not these
sable colorod citizens support Dri-
yer when he had tho Office Is he
therefore a radical? ? Are Bacchus,
and Garlick also radicals, simply
because they received the colored
vote ? Bgcohus has almost the same
number of colOrcd mems votes as
llaskins has got, yet, he Is q kind,
tImid, good natured demo ocrat, while
the other IS, CT as you supposed
hm 10 be, "radica. f" II he is a
so-called radical, it would be well
for some leading democrats 10 copy
bis manlincss and honesty. Let
the poor Prosecuted man have
peace for he has enough OF outside
enemies to harass him during his
present term. Nipcrs gather poison
as they crawl then So let the irrocon-
cilablc enemies of old reliable Ben,
lIasklns, gather their ire until our
next election two years hence. In

Election fsay.

The following articles from the
Jacksonport Herald perfectly pict-
ures the manner Of conducting clcc-
tions throughout the country and
our county especially. Had the
writer been here an eye witness, he
could not have more correctly aud
lruthlplly stated the facts:
Election day and a day or 50 af-
ter furnishes the observer many Gu
rious objects. To road Dickens
account Of AN election, one would
believe that It was an cxagerauon.
did he not behold the past election
and how it was conducted Why
people get so worked up over an
election in which they have not a
coni's interest, IS 4 puzzle, parlcu-
lariy when we see men who really
arc interested, standing around in
lhe background seemingly IN a fl
of hsilcss abstraction. But whoop.
mg and hurrahlng does not always
indicate II mans feelings. We have
seen mob alter mob rond the skies
Tor their par tlcular victim, who was
supposed to treat them, and thcn
as soon as he was out Of sight cheer
for his opponent, or any one who
was likely 10 "set en- up.
1t is Il notorious fact that IN an
election, the most trifing scamp in
the country is the first to approach
a strange candidate, with glowing
representations of how much he is
going to do, and what he and he
only, can do, and then wind up by
negotiating for the loan of fifty
cents or "a dollar. This is his busi-
ness, and he drives good trade. 1t
should bo born in mind that men OF
stability Of character and influence
are not on the market for sale /;
they need no money and want
none. Neither do they hang around
for drink. Popular elections are
popular nuisanees, conducted as
they are.
Ii seldom occurs that an express
ion Of the peoples will is had, but
the rabblo is driven to the polls
like sheep and voted, they care not
for whom, nor for what.
Then comes the carousings They
hear the news from a precinct, and
cheer whoever is ahead then
comes the next, aud a cheer goes
up on the other side. Besides tins,
there is pulling and dragging round
the voters, trading tins influence
tor that, and this candidate for the
other. The traders goneraly find
out Just too late that they are not
dealing with corlainues, and cry
fraud or perlilyj and so on it goes,
until from ont the seothing mass OF
voters the dlo is east and the hon
ors fall upon men who know no,
whore they camo from, nor what
friends 10 thank.
