CIRCUIT CLERK.

Five reasons why | will not vote for
Mr.. Daniel for circuit clerk:
1-Mr. Daniel has never spent his
time, or his money, in upholding the
principles of democracy i'll the councils
Of his party, in the public press, or in
eXhorting her ranks to renewed eXer-
tions in times of trial and adversely.
But all this Mr.. Ewing has done.
2-Mr. Daniel has been supported tor
nearly a quarter of century at the
public crib, being deputy circuit
clerk before the " ar, county clerk by
appointment Immediately after the war,
then deputy county clerk, then deputy
recorder, then deputy circuit clerk 10
this hour, during all this time the Tor
tunate recipient of thousands OF dol
lars from his party, without commen-
surate effort or sacrifice on his part III
her behalf. But Mr.. Ewing has never
held an Office of profit.
3-Mr. Daniel says in his circular, ne
has "been used as cats pau to rake
out chestnuts for others benefit. If so
he was Willing to be so used, for he
was a free agent, and if he did rake
them out he ate his full share, as is well
attested by the thousands OF dollars re-
ceived by him during his long official
career. But Mr.. Ewing was never
party to any combination or cats paW
arrangement to obtain office.
4-Mr. Daniel has no family to sup
port. But Mr.. Ewing has.
5-Mr. Daniel has no claim upon the
democratic party for further install
ment in Office, and if he has raked out
and eaten the official chestnuts for more
than twenty years, that is no red
son he should continue to rake and tc
eat JUSTICE.

"IT's OF NO CONSEQUENCES y

The Intelligencer when it politely
mentioned the Odessa Herald's unpro-
voked offensive paragraph supposed
that it was dealing with a gentleman,
who would, as soon as it was pointea
out withdraw what had been said, or
disclaim any intention of offense, with
out further Objectionable language. 1t
seems we were mistaken. Knowing
as we did that the vagaries of the per-
son criticized had gained tor him in
the county from which he came to this
one a rather peculiar sobriquet, how
Justly or unjustly we do not know or
care, it was probably foolish in us to
have noticed the matter at all, but even
with this knowledge we could hardly
suppose that there was mind so dense
as to consider an accusation in cold
type of answering to the whistle OF a
master like dog, ga pleasantly" AS
to the sore head, that seems to be at
the Odessa end of the controversy,
luuOlug lIOlu tuC duuOuht VI hiChibS
and bucking that is going on there
against the democratic county execu-
tive committee, resulting in charges
against it which are absolutely untrue,
and which would come with better
grace from republican than demo-
cratic newspaper, and SO baseless as
not to be insisted on even from that
source. AS for the Intelligencer it is
perfectly serene and satisfied with
everybody and with everything. We
have not been at all excited as to the
Herald's utterances, as it seems to
imagine. 1t says it does not mean us,
anyway, 80 that settles it; but in any
event, as Mr.. Toots would say, 'It's
of no consequence" just in passing
however, we may be excused if we
recommend to "our worthy neighbor'
to take a light supper, not only to-
night but every night.

CLIFF DANIEL AND THE ClROuIf
CLERKSHIP.

EDITOR INrELLIGENCER:- I'VE were
given eight reasons, last week, why
certain democrat would vote tor y. l..
Ewing. l now propose to give twenty
reasons why a majority OF the demo-
Gratis of the county will vote Tor Ch11.
Daniel to-day?
Because he is in every way par
ticularly qualified for the position he
asks.
because he is the most competent
man before the people asking for the
office.
3-Because he is man OF the strict
est honesty and integrity.
4-Because the people have never
given him an Office of any kind.
5-Because Judge Wood says he is
the best clerk in the state.
6-Because Judge Samuel Sawyer
says the same thing.
because Judge Strother says that
he has so much confidence in his ability
as clerk, that he and the attorneys
thought it unnecessary to have the
records read in open court.
9-Because he has ga knowledge OF
much law"
9-Because all the Judges and law
| yers say to make all efficient clerk a
man must hare knowledge of law.
1O-Because he is ever faithful and
devoted to his duties.
11-Because he is always found at
his post of duty.
12-Because he has the requisite
knowledge to enable him to write up,
in legal form, any decree or order the
court may make.
13-Because it is to the interest OF
the people to have him in the circuit
clerks office.
14-Because the people know him so
well, and know that he attends strictly
to his own business.
15-Because the people do not be-
lieve the fabrications started against
him for campaign purposes.
16-Because the people have never
given him an office of any kind.
17-Because he has laudable ambi.
ton to be circuit clerk before he dies.
1S-Because the people know that
under his management the Office will
be properly conducted.
19-Because he is sterling and life
long democrat, and attached TO the
principles of his party.
20-Because he has neither 500 acre
farm nor a newspaper.

two thirds of the tax payers, but wher
there is simply il majority, as the Law
