The report is going the rounds of
the county that j. NJ. Spears has With
drawn from the race for sheriff. This
is not true for MIR. Spears informs us
that he is still in the field. Mr.. Spears

officer and the people will do well to
give him their votes.

younger and more ambitious man

support X. j. Eastman. The
question naturally arises why did not
the delegates at the North 60 into
convention with the Franklin dele
gates and decide upon the right and
legality of the Blaine delegates to
II seat. The latter would not he en-

The True Republican after ex-
hausting its vocabulary OF words de-
noting dishonesty in order to prove
that Sheriff Spears is a "bcodler" final
ly admits that after all he only owes
the county 345. Now. admitting that
this is true. which we are not prepared
