that there was an agreement entered
into at the Eighth district primaries

entirely proper to be done and was
ratified by the voters of that district
but the publication IN the WIG is not
"copy" OF it.

he has ready and easy method to
prove it such.

every speaker at the Democratic

{ Farmer Brown begged the voters
to lay aside Their differences and

Democratic ticket.
Mr.. Barney Compton begged the
voters to forget their local Difficult
ties and work for the whole Demo

Senator German urged that differ
ences be settled without going out

similar appeals to their hearers in the
evening.

the wrong practiced upon them

The WHIG has asserted, and what
is more to the point ha, demon

If the ballot, and the ballot box

WE would like the voters of Ceci
county to know, that when they cast
their votes for Amasa Churchman
the Republican Candidate for sheriff,
they are net casting their ballots for
man who is in the habit OF indulg-
ing in self praise, but one whose
whole life has been marked by CON
sistent uprightness, and a habitual
regard for The rights and feelings Of
Others A careful, prudent. and
successful man in his private business,
he would bring to the important
office tor which he has been nomi-
mated the same excellent qualities,
and the best certificate OF good
character that any man has to offer,
is that shown by Mr.. Churchman,
the respect and esteem of those who
live nearest to him.

THERE is not single fault to be
found with the present board OF
County Commissioners, not peg
for the kicker to hang an objection
on.-CecI Democrat.
If the recent so called Democratic
convention had renomlnated MessrS.
McNamee, Willis and Steele, we
might appreciate the point sought to
be made by the Democrat. But the
managers and young Democratic
bosses tor reasons best known to
themselves took good care not to re-
nominate them, when they know,
and the world knows, that re-
nomination would have been the
most emphatic endorsement that
conld have been given them, and
compared to which, such compll-
ments as that quoted above, are
empty and meaningless. In fact,
ever since the meeting OF the recent
SO called Democratic con, entlon,
praise of the business efficiency OF
the present board Of County Commits
sioners, and complimentary eulogy
of Mr.. Jamar's agreeable manners
toward those who have estates to
settle, seem to be the everlasting
themes of the Democrat
When every other resource OF the
Editorial Junto of that office fails,
these ever familiar and always well
come subjects bob up serenely,
Saint John never seems too busy
crying aloud in the wilderness either
of Turkey or Back Creek Captain
Greenberry never too intent upon
the congenial task OF thrashlng back
into the ranks the party traitors or
the managerial brain too absorbed
in the multiplied cares OF admins
trative concerns no matter what
commands the present attention oil
any one of the three limbs OF the
Editorial Tripod, these chronic re-
trains are ever in time, and always
in tune.
Now conceding for the sake OF the
argument, that the present board Of
County Commissioners is all that its
warmest partisan admirers claim ii
to be, what guarantee is its good
character, its efficiency, or its
economic methods, that anOthe,
board yet to be elected, is to be like
it?
Such guarantee is rot to be looked
for in the mere partisan record o.
the men who by the aid of the
young Democratic bosses purpose
succeeding the present board. Be,
cause the last Democratic board may
have been a reasonably good one, il
doesn't necessarily follow that the
next one will be a good one, md
certainly not merely because it may
be Democratic one.
The virtue IS to be sought not in
the partisan Democracy OF the board
that has been amply attested in
the past-but in the individual char
acter and business qualification OF
the men who compose it
But whether the point sought to
be made by the Democrat is worth
less or not, it is we suppose all right
for the rest of the tax payers OF the
county, SO long as Mr.. lamar gets
his office again, and maintains for
the balance of his natural life, that
manner SO agreeable to persons who
have estates TO settle
This argument is about as relevant
as the average that appears in TIE
DeW0c1 at.
