 In the Democratic county convention yesterday, when the three candidates for sheriff aud district attorney were called upon to take the pledge, which was to support the platform adopted and every nominee of the party, Joseph C. Perry took the platform and, in most eloquent and elegant language Rn- nounced his firm belief ID the principles of the party and his unswerving dem ocracy. He said that the iron-clad oath was more binding than even life itself 1t pledged his honor. The party might nominate a man fer whom he could not conscientiously cast his vote, which this pledge would bind him tO do. He then took the political record of his opponent for nomination-Ben. Fl. Hereford-and attacked his position on the bullion tax. and the part he took as the agent of the railroad company in securing from the last legislature favorable &C., ton. In respectful but strong and un- mistakable language he asssiled that gentlemRn's record, and said, that in view of the possible nomination of Mir. Hereford he could not conscIentiously take that pledge, and he therefore with drew his name as a candidate for dis trict attorney. His action was marked by a sense of high honor that cannot be too highly commended. He was con- scientious and honest in his motives, and his manly course merits most noble commendatlop.
