people of the State. Not approving of 1t
and feeling that Augusta was certain not
to elect Coalition Republican candidates
In aBv event, he deter mined not to enter
the Primary, nor vote at the election =
This intention got wind among the Goa
litionists and was soon magnified into a
report that MIR. T. was dissatisfied with
the nominees OF the Primary and refused
to vote for them. They felt SO much en-
couraged that few days since promi-
nent mt mber Of that party called on him

to hear that we have good reason to hope

two sterling farmers and our countymen.
Mr.. Towberman, driIY.-Who ale your
candidates =?
Coalitionist. friends Capt. Fulcher
and John Ed. Hamilton.
MIR. Towberman.-I'd see them hung
first.
Coalitionist.-(Wit as much astonish-

is to stay at home and not vote yourself.

Coalltionist-Will you also promise not
to use your influence?
Mr.. Understandable won't. I've got
no influence, but what have got there is
not money nor Office enough 10 the whole
Readjuster party if it was all offered to
me, to prevent my using it for the Demo-
cratic party.
This shot sileuced the enemy's battery
and after agreeing to pair off and not cast
a ballot on November 9th, the Coalitionist

the most disastrous days canvassing that
is on record in the Rings archives. 1t is
presumed that he will be put on the with
