Of Assessor All this was dOas by
a Republican convention, compos-
al TOT the most part, Of rcpfcsonl'
alive colorcd men. and called TO-
gcther by the Republican Execu-
tive Committee. The members of
this convention were selected by
conventions held in the various
Supervisors districts Of the coun-
IS, each district choosing twelve
delegates.
The concession made to the
Democracy was a free will offer
ing in the interest Of peace, har-
mony and good will during the
canvass and at the coming election.
It was made as stated, to keep
down party strife and wrangling,
and to engender between the races
thrown together in this county, a
sentiment of Kindness and good
feeling so necessary for the hap
piness of both. And last, but by
no means least, the concession
was made in a spirit Of liberality
and fairness that deserves COM
mcndation, when we consider the
fact that the colorcd race, with
few exceptions, are all Republi-
cans at heart, and in this county
have the numerical strength il
properly exercised, to stand bold.

II seems TO me that to all reasona-
BILE and thinking men, the answer
will readily suggest itself. We dc
not want a heated political contest
this fall we do not want passion
and prejudice to again run riot.
Our farmers and their tenants can
not afford to have the little in their
fields wasted and destroyed, that
they may attend political meetings
and organize political clubs. Po-
litically, we have nothing to lose,
by accepting the situation.

NOT Tear the result.
The Democrats who have been
rendered places on the ticket are
good and true men who have the
welfare Of the whole people al
heart ; the Republicans are as fair
and capable representatives Of tina,

ty.
II seems to me then. that should

resolution that they deem il mad.
