OUr Nominees.
What has been writ, is writ, and
that's the end ont. For exercising
our God giving.right to support the
cause of Hon. james W. Alcorn il
thes" columns, we have no apology 10
make or excuse TO oiier. As fellow
countyman, we are proud Of his worth
as a gentleman and of his high at.
tsinments as lawyer, and we hoped
almost against hope, to see him the
nominee for Circuit Judge. Oar own
county stood nobly by him, to its
great credit be il said, but the Democ.
racy Of the District has decided in
thunder tones that Judge NJ. II. Ows.
ley is its choice, and 10 that decision
we bow and promise, TO the extent Of
our ability, tosupport him. We took
occasion several times to tvit the hon.
orable gentleman, more in friendship
than otherwise, but none Of our read.
ers can say that we made any charges
against his official record, or attempt
ell TO cast slurs thereon. Judge
Owsley has his faults, which we would
fain correct, but of his brilliancy as a
lawyer or Of his popularity as a gentle
man, there can be no doubt that he is
the peer of any man in the District,
and we are not only for him now but
for life, if he wills it.
Alter years of unrecognition, a
Lincoln county man is to get Dis.
trict office-that man is X. G. War
ren, Esq, who is To be Common.
wealth's Attorney for the next six
years. He had no opposition, but
the large complimentary vote that be
got over the District, shows how great
is the esteem in which he is held ev-
erywhere. He is an honorable gen.
ileman, good lawyer, with the ex-
perience of term as County Attor-
noy Of Lincoln, and We are confident
that the Commonwealth will be rep
resented, not only in an able manner,
but with a zeal and determination {
that will he terror TO evil.doers.
The race for the Circuit Clerkship
was close one between Mr.. Tim W.
Higgins and his successful competitor,
Mr.. Jas. =. Bailey, the majority re. ]
ing but 81, but we have heard not a |
murmur, though on the contrary the de- !
feated candidates are the first to prom (
Use their unequivocal support TO the
nominee. Mr. Bailey has served the ,
county before in the capacity OF Sher- I,
i'll, and his knowledge obtained in 7
court matters will help him material. :,
ly in filling the office to which he will
be elected. There are few better men
anywhere than Jim Bailey, aud the
Democrats of Lincoln did themselves Il
credit in honoring him. =
Mr.. 5. ii. Baughman, notwith- L
standing he was not n candidate, was ! !,
elected by powerful majority as the Il
nominee for Sheriff. He has filled the "
office most acceptably, and is with.
out doubt the best man for the Office

Of course no canvass could be con-
lucted without engendering some bit.

he general desire to forget all bick- on
rings and labor for the good of the 20 .,
'ariy. We are proud to see this on In

lie as it forbodes an united
fort against Radicalism, and in

Iithout peradventure. Let us all
