Mr.. Cro,bv's candidacy ior Iita
su,er is. We think, ii mistake. H.
should not have a~rirel fora posi-
ton which, his own experience has
peculiarly demonstrated HIS unh'-
ness to tiil. The peoples interest
demands clear head ut all times to
guide the fingers which handle their
money. We admit that Nat Is ca
good fellow and in less respon-
sihle position we would feel inclined
to give him support, but the pub
lie interest is too important to be
awarded solely on the ground OF
sympathy or personal favor. MIR.
Munson, the Peoples candidate, is
acknowledged to he absolutely ac-
curate in his accounts and the most
accommodating officer III tue county
in all matters relating to his official
duty. The people know this, and
two years ago when the official
clique had 6" but up the pins for his
defeat in convention, his friends rail-
lied to his support with such unan-
unity that it was only too glad to
change the programme. His cleo
ton is sure.
Mr.. Morgan, has, we believe, lad
no experience in the office Of AS
SCISSOR. He is too good man for the
crowd he trains with, and Mr.. Shoe
crafts ability and experience will
doubtless be taken into account,
when Mr.. NJ. is rescued from the
filthy pool" into which he has fall
len.
Mrs. Hale is, if we can judge from
popular expression, the choice of
nine-tenths of the men and women
of the county for School Superinten-
dent. Her election will accomplish
a two-fold good: place school mat
ters under the control of one who
will devote herself wholly to the SER
vice, and restore to the pulpit one
who has too long wandered after
strange gods"
The election of some fair, impair
tial man, of sound judgment, to sue.
coed Mr.. Swan, as Commissioner,
is necessity that is very generally
acknowledged. Ths history of our
railroad litigation shows this, and
the increased taxes we have to pay
in consequence, emphasize the
duty of the voter to cast his ballot
for MI. Dobbins, who has been tried
in various public capacities and not
found wanting. The same objection
applies to Mr.. Gibson, who is but
an echo of Mr.. Swan. We are not
acquainted with Mr.. Yantis, his COM
petior, but have been assured that
be possesses the business sagacity
and personal integrity so essential
in this Office.
The main objection to Mr.. Reed
the clique nominee for Probate
Judge. is precisely that which so
worried poor David Copper6eld.
He is too young. The interests of
widows and orphans should be en-.
trusted only to those of mature
judgment, aud Judge Henry pos
sesses, in an eminent degree, all the
qualifications for the Office.
Mr.. F. W. Brown for Surveyor
and MIR. Pattison for Coroner, are
on both tickets. Their endorsement
by the People shows that they are
good men and are not owned by the
Ring masters.
Now we ask the reader, in all sim
cerity are not these exceptions to the
of6ce-holders' nominees we'll taken i?
Contrast the fitness of the several
candidates yourself, and see if a
different conclusion can, by any logi-
cal process, be reached. II we have
not erred in the judgment here ex-
pressed, what is your duty as a
voter? Is it not plain and imper.
etive?
The following sulphurous blast
came over the wires from Raleigh.
N. c., last week:
WHEREAS. The report being industriouslv
circulated that we, Republicans of No.
township, would not vote for Cant las
>: Lane for the legislature, and.
WHEREAS, Said Jas. s. Lane has puhlic,v
scilclted our support and proclaimed him
sell IN opposition to the Bourbon Demo
cracy, and,
WHEREAS. All little Democrats have
pronounced him radical,
heso!red, We will vote for jim Lane. be
ne spirit of hell, or goblin damned.
brlngst he with him airs from heaven or
blasts from hell, or comes he in Question.
aOle s.lapa, but We will vote for him as
against the Bourbon Democracy.
This expression of the party of
sobriety and good morals sounds the
keynote to its whole action. All
