That is reversing every principle of can
didature ever presented to the American
people. The argument has. always been
that parties are corrupt; that purity Is to
be reached only through independent &C
ton. We feel sure there is less personal
pettifoRging and disreputable intrigue On
the part of the person who manfully ap-
peals to the People for support IS an indie
pendent candidate for Office, than there is
on the part of the person who feels that he
cannot be elected without severe appli-
cation of the party lash, and therefore
adopts methods to work up political con
vention against the wishes of majority
of the dominant party.
The Transcript should not forget that It
il barred against applying the party lash
to any one not wishing to be bound by
partisan methods ia a political election,
and more especially in enc purely Judicial,
and which should be separated from all
partisan feeling. The election of a Con
gresham is one bringing into it political
considerations of the highest quality, and
calling for the exercise of strict partisan
fealty; but at the congressional election in
1879 the Tsunscript refused to support MIR.
BOYD, the republican candidate; in 1878 it
again refused to support him; and In 1880
1t gave such support to Mr.. Lewis as was
intended to defeat him, -its- articles being
reprinted Ia the democratic papers of the
district for that purpose.
We assure the Transcript that Judge
Craig will not do anything as independent
candidate TO secure his election, that viii

With the exception, perhaps, OF Judge
Mulkey, all the present Supreme Court
Justices were elected as independent can

rHE sHERfEE.

The contest for the republican nomina-
ton for Sheriff of this county promises to
be very exciting, and the strife and its re-
suit win no doubt cause some bad feelings
that will be of great benefit to the demo-
cratic nominee for that position
The two most prominent candidates in
the republican ranks are J. F. Ankrum,
the present Sheriff, and W. G. Morris. the
present coroner. The friends of the for
mer claim that some underhanded work
ter, and that II Ankrum cannot secure the
place his friends win prevent the nomina-
ton OF Morris. The Ankrum men affirm
that their candidate deserves the nomina-
ton, as it has been customary to renomi-
nate man who has filed that place in a
ereditable manner They state that the
law preventing Sheriff from being his
own successor did not apply. to incum-
bents when the law was passed
The Morris men are confident that their
candidate win walk away with the nomi-
natiea, as-they claim that Apkrum is net
eligible according to the recent law per-
tanning to Sheriffs,
The latest candidate who enters the ring

many that he was working for Morris. and
that impression still prevails among the
