Legislature, signed Zone Hundred Dem>
ocrats of Summit Point" Having received
a number of letters and having been solicited
by many of my friends privately, 1 now feel
it my duty to thus publicly answer all.
First, permit mo to say am deeply gratifed
to my numerous friends for their kind con,
sildera.ion, and would be pleased to serve
them, aud thus fill the measure of my duty
as citizen, did not circumstances prevent.
l hope at some future time to be able to re,
spond to their wishes at present must de-
cline the proffered honor am a Democrat
OF the old Jeffersonian school, recognizing
the voice of the people as formulated and an
nounced through their political primaries and
conventions. must submit to the expressed
will of the party, as gather it from the ac-
ton of its convention. The convention has
spoken, therefore true Democrat recog-
nizing the necessity of party organization, 1
submit. Respectfully yours,

INDEPENDENTS.

Editor Spirit Of Jefferson Three Re.
puoi'eans, through the advertising columns of
your paper, thus announce themselves as In.
dependent candidates for the Legislature.-
The idea is ridiculous in the extreme that
these gentlemen could be Independent in q
Legislative body when a man is forced to take
sides. Every one who has observed the work,
ings of Legislative body-from the United
States Senate down-knows perfectly we'll
how utterly impossible it is for man to be
Independent of the two great parties. Such
being the case, should these gentlemen be
elected, they would as matter of course, go
where their feelings and sentiments have al
ways been-with the Republican party.
would vote with this party on all measures,
particularly in that of selecting United
States Senator.
Mr.. Janney has always been partisan Re-
publican, and is the nominee of a Republican
Convention. Mr.. Higinbotham is an honest
man, good citizen, but man who ozories in
being Republican. Mr.. Butt is a Stalwart.
The Democracy need have no fear of Hig-
inbotham's election I; no will get the white
Republican vote of his neighborhood, and
possibly good many of his Democratic neigh
bors; this, with the exception of few sore
heads and egg.suckers, will constitute his
vote Butt is too shrewd politician to al>
low Higinbotham's name to be printed on
tickets for the colored people. He (Butts)
evidently expects Higinbotham to draw votes
enough from the Democratic party to weaken
Fouke, and then with the solid vote of his
party-aided by the apathy and disatfection
in ours, expects to pull through, and he will
if the full vote of our party is not brought
ous for its nominees. The issue is got to he
squarely met. 1t is either Isaac Fouke-
whose sympathies have always been with and
for our people, or JAS Butt, whose only in.
terest in the people of this county and State
is to get them represented in the United
States Senate;by Stalwar.- r epublican.
Democrats, make your selection, the issue
is before you. He who refuses or neelects to
vote for the nominees of, his, party, votes in
directly the Republican ticket a Democrat
who will not sacrifice personal feeling for
the good of his party, don't deserve the great
name. 1t has amounted to q farce that Mr..
Butt should ask the SURFACES of the same
people to whom few years ago he denied the
right of suffrage.
Perhaps if a full expression of the voice
of the people could have been had by pri,
mary election, neither Fouke or Rider would
have been chosen. But this is thing of the
past, it is the present and the future that We
must face. and it behooves every Democrat to
be at his post of duty. Will you urge them
to come forward, Mr.. Editor.

VOTE AGAINST THE INDEPEN-
DENT SCHOOL DISTRICT.

AS the 10th of October is nearing, we de-
sire to call attention to Chapter 176 of the
Acts of the Legislature, 1882, establishing
the independent School District of Duff
fields" Section of that chapter provides
that this Act "shall not take effect until a
majority of the legal voters of Shepherdstown
aud Chsrlestown Districts shall accept its pro-
visions at the election to be hold on the Cd
Tuesday in October, 1882.
As the voters of the above Districts must
pass judgment on this Act, its object and pur>
poses should be understood
One of the most Objectionable features in
our present School Law, is that providing for
Separate Boards of Education in each District
of the County, with the power in each to levy
school tax in their respective districts.
This works great inequality on the Taxpayers
OF the county. Charlestown District being
rich district, pays less than half the school
tax of Harper's Ferry District. Then again
it is very difficult to locate conveniently and
economically schools within these several dis
trlct lines, and the whole tendency of this
sub-dlviding is to increase the general burden.
produce confusion and disorder and render
taxation among our people unequal and un-
uniform. There should be but one Board of
Education for tho entire county, and then,
and not until then, will these INEQUALITIES be
righted and adjusted
But the Dufield's Independent District is

further to sub-divide and render inequalities
more grievous. By including within its
bounds rich and favored neighborhood, it
lightens the burden of those within at the ex>
pense OF those without. 1t reaches out to.

the Junction, but it found no school there,
and then to SAVIOR the whole it takes in sew,

spring of a patriot or philauthropiss, but the
child of inequality, which is iniquity and
should be strangled at it's birth. Vote
