THE COUNTY TICKET.

The Democratic convention held in
Winston last Saturday was the largest
seen in this county for years. If we
judge by its size and harmony, tine
Democratic party in this county
mean that Forsyth county must and
shall have officers who are Democrats.
The candidate for Sheriff, Mr.. inc.
Boyar,is stronger in the county to-day
than he was two years ago. He has
spent his time and his money to ex-
pose the fraud practiced in behalf of
the Republican party in the last cleo
ton. The courts have said that he
was right; the Democratic party has
said he was right and the people at
the ballot box will say that he was
right. That he fought for a principle,
and not for money, is shown by the
fact that he made his opponent pres
ent of 8 large sum of money which the
law said belonged to Mr.. Boyer. He
is member of the Alliance and will
receive its cordial support.
MIR. w. b. Stafford, candidate for
clerk of the court, knows more of the
voters of Forsyth county than any man
i'll it and is popular wherever he is
known. His character is that Of an
upright, affable, industrious man who
has fine business qualities. He is
first class farmer and an Alliance
man. Unless voluntary promises
count for naught, there are many Re
publicans in the county who will vote
for him because they like him and be-
cause they think Mr.. Hauser has held
his office long enough.
Mr.. p. A. Cox, candidate for Regis
ter of Deeds, is good farmer, true
Alliance man and loyal Democrat.
He is a good business man and is
thoroughly qualified to perform the
duties of Register to the entire salts
faction of the people. He has strong
personal following among Republicans
as we'll as Democrats and is admired
by all men for his solid merit.
Messrs. M. H. Morris and ]. d.
Valentine, candidates for Surveyor
and Coronor, are So well fitted for the
offices that they had scarcely any op-
position in the convention. They both
add strength to the ticket and will
poll the full Democratic vote
Mr.-Jno. F. Griffith, our next
county Treasurer, is in charge of the
Alliance store Of Winston. He could
have had the nomination for Clerk
by reclamation if he had wished it,
but his contract with the Alliance
store stock holders would not permit.
He has lived in both town and couu-
try and has the entire confidence Of
every man who knows him. His per-
sonal popularity among all classes is re-
markable and proves him man of
true worth.
Mr.. w. II. Sheppard is a mechanic,
one that Forsy til county is proud of.
He is a worthy man who is as well
posted on the issues of the day as the
lawyer or the editor. The people of
Forsyth county sent him to the Leg
islature several years ago and he rep
resented 'hem with ability as well as
fidelity. Every man who knows him
respects him for his sterling character
and his intelligence. He is not a
member of the Alliance but there is
not man in the county more thor
oughly in accord with the farmers and
the workingmen than Mr.. Sheppard.
His father formerly represented this
district in Congress and was tower
Of strength among the people. The
son has inherited the fathers traits
and will rally the people to the sup
port of the ticket as few men can do.
This is the ticket that Forsyth
county Democrats have put forward
and it is our calm, honest opinion that
it will be elected. There is not a
weak man ON it. We do not believe
better or stronger one could have
been named, and We now want to see
every Democrat in the county do
some earnest, personal work. SO that
the vote we shall poll in November
will be not merely . majority, but
tsianph for The Democracy.
