ELSEWHERE will be found the card of
J. P. Hammered, announcing himself as
candidate for sheriff of Stearns county,
and soliciting the support of his fellow
citizens. Mr.. Hammeral once held tie
office under appointment, for the unex-
pired term of Sheriff Mickey, who died
in office, and all who are familiar with
the administration of that office during
the past years, must ackno Wedge that
he made a model officer, not inferior to
to any. He received the warmest COM
mendation from the bench, bar, jurers
and newspapers, the st. Cloud Times
being especially enthusiastic in its prais-
es. At the conclusion of his short term
of only few months, he was defeated at
the polls for full term. There were
three candidates in the field, Mr. Kra-
mer being the successful candidate. The
vote in round numbers was as follows:
A. w. Kramer 5000
T. p. Hammered $500
II. S. Detv 1900
Mr.. Doty's candidacy proved fatal to
Mr.. Hammerrel's hopes OF success, for it
is well-known fact that nine-tenths OF
the votes he received-all republicans
were drawn from Mr.. Hammered.
The figures above given, the first two
being democrats and the third a republi-
can, indicate how entirely hopeless are
the chances of any republican. There ar
more than two democratic votes to
every republican, and no matter how
better the field in the democratic party,
any republican must receive close upon a
thousand democratic votes, in addition
to the united strength of his own par
tv, in order to win.
This being the case, the choice of sheriff
this fall lies between Mr.. Hammered and
some other democrat-probably Mr..
Kramer, and the HERALD believes the
former to be the more capable man, and
for many reasons which need not be
enumerated here and now.
The republican county convention
recognized the futility of attempting to
elect republican upon a petty issue
and refrained from making any nomina-
ton.
In the absence of any republican cam
d;date the HERELD firmly believes the in
terests OF the county will be best sub
served by the election of Tohn p. Ham

Will the St. Cloud Times have the
kindness to reprint the article endors

sheriff, as a fraternal courtesty? The
HERALD has mislaid its copies of the
Times containing the several laudatory
articles referred to, and may desire to
use them-in half-measure.

\ special to the Philadelphia Recor,
from Sumneytown says:
For complete humiliation of the 'col
or line this town and its vicinity is en-
titled to first place among all competi

ton which has completely demoralized
the white male sex. The bellies living in
the valley and among the his bordering
swamp creek prefer black beaux to
white ones, and snatch them up as soon
as they are on the market. The promis-
cuOus interminglinG of the two races has
assumed alarming proportions, and il
furnishes the main theme of conversation
for the entire town.
About two years ago George S. Mile,

from the mid day sun that was lacking

the negroes stayed the better the girls
seemed to like them.
Last Sunday Rev. Andrew Jones OF
Carlisle, colored clergyman performed
the regular baptismal service for two
young white damsels under 20 years of
age. A vast throng swarmed the banks
of Swamp creek to witness the novel
ceremony. Clothed in apparel, white as
snow drifts, the two girls were led shiv-
ering into the stream by the dusky di-
vine. 1t was in all probability the first
time white person was baptized by an
African. Rev. NJ. Jones holds regular
meetings in Sunneytown, at the town
hall, and also in IA private house of a
family along Swamp creek, a mile from
this place. His congregations are large
ly white, notwithstanding the fact that
there are a number of clergymen of
white blood in the vicinity. He also

Bob Parrish, of Lee county, was the

circus yesterday, accompanied by mu-
latto woman as his wife.
Bob is said to have no faint of negro
blood in his veins, and hence if he really
regards the woman as his wife, he is la
boring under a mistake which involves
one of the laws on the statute book,
which provides against the admixture of
the two races by marriage.

of the law against such marriages
