When a mar becomes q candidate
for office the people want to know all
about him. Plenty of good material
always offers for a good office and it
is hard for many to make up their
minds. Audrain is a big county and
as q general thing a candidate is not
known to all the people in all parts of
the county. The best way to find
out the true worth Of a man is to find
out how he stands at home-in his
own township. in his own school dis
trict. If he is spoken well of there
you car safely make up your mind
he is a good man. If his neighbors.
men he comes in daily contact with,
have confidence in and trust him 0
may safely say he is worthy of pub
lie confidence. The closer you get to
a man the better you can learn his
true traits of character. The writer
of this article invites such close
scrutiny Of r. P. Hopkins, of Sailing,
who, among other good and capable
men, is a candidate for collector of
Audrain county. Go up into his
township, into his school district,
among his neighbors and see wha,
they think and say of him. You will
find that with one voice they claim
for him honesty and fidelity. He
never betrayed a trust or a friend.
Outspoken and fearless in his views.
he is recognized as the soul of homo,
and integrity. The ~earnestness with
which the friends of Hopkins in his
own part OF the county support hin
and endorse his claims is proof posi-
tive of the high esteem in which they
hold him. This is the true test of {
mans worth, and if r. p. Hopkins
does not stand this test in a most ex
ceptional manner his friends do no
ask his claims to be considered il

II. p. HODkins.

We see the announcement Of r. z.
Hopkins, of Sailing township, as a
candidate for collector of Audrain
county in the Mexico papers. Mr..
Hopkins is a Virginian by birth, hav-
ing been born and raised in Amherst
Co., near Lynchburg, Va. He en-
tered the confederate army while a
student at the Va. Military Institute
as a private, and served through the
entire war under Gen. Fitz Hugh
Lee. We are told by those who
knew him during the war that he
proved himself a brave and true
soldier. At the beginning of the war
he was in easy circumstances ; but
like many others at the close, found
himself penniless. 1t was at this
time he determined to cast his lot
with the people OF the west. On
coming west he came to Sturgeon
and located ear this place in Boone
county where he resided one year.
He then moved into Sailing town
ship, Audrain county, where he has
lived the last eighteen years. He is
engaged in farming and is a true
type of the old style Va. gentleman,
and is held in high esteem by friends
and neighbors. Mr.. Hopkins is a
poor man and has a large family de-
pendent upon him. He is a true
Christian gentleman, worthy and well
qualified to fill the office to which he
aspires Or any other office within the
gift of the people in Audrain Or any
other county, and should be be elect
ed Audrain will have no better or
trustworthy officer. We say this
much for Mr.. Hopkins unsolicited as
he is our friend and neighbor, though
living in another county.-Sturgeon

What is the purpose of this early
call? Is it not premature? Have
the frank and hleS of the Democracy
demanded this? Is this early call for
the purpose of having n nominating
convention right away, at y time
while the farmers, the bulk of the
Democratic voters, are busy putting
in and tending their crops? If the
convention is called early, before the
state central, congressional and judi
cial committees meet and fix the
times for holding their several con-
ventions and the ratio Of representa-
ton, then you will be forced to call
another convention after the call is
made by the said several committees.
Then why not wait and make one
convention do for all? Why not wait
and give the farmers a chance TO
make and save their crops and 40
opportunity to meet at the various
gatherings that will be held the latter
part of the summer in the county,
and hear the candidates express them.

Mr.. Editor, if this early call is for
