Letters From Toe People.

Ed. EAGLE:-A mans ears
need not be over sensitive TO
hear a w~0uderOus amount Of
dissatisfaction expressed over
the result of the late primary
contest in nominating the candi
date for Sheriff OF lafayette
county.
There is a belief abroad
among our people that the pres
ent incumbent resorted 20 un-
fair means to secure his nomIna
ton, l. c. the use OF whisky and
OvertUres OF patronage and priv
ileges. and the illegal voting
OF minors and non residents.
II make no charge, | am
ignorant of any unfair means
used by any candidate in the
race to secure his nomination
Ifthese rumors tave any bass
of truth, 10y all meant let Us
have an Investigation, and II
such is proven against him let
him be east out as an unclean
thing undeserving a free peO-
pies confidence.
Heretofore, our candidates
have deported themselves nom
orably, with fortitude. forbear-
ance and manly canaOr. aud il
well might he said their mutual
respect for citizens and csndi
dates rights have been above
suspicion, and at this late dag
our people, to be true to them
selves and re their democratic
instincts, must frown down any
effort at such baseness and for
ever ignore the p~retentiOrs of
such qtuasi criminal to a free
peoples suffrage
la the name of Southern hon
or. and that OF Lafayette cOun-
tvs in particular, let us keep
our politics aud political usages,
pure, indebted and above re-
pro9eli- And the mos: effeetual
way to do ii d to cast out the
unelean spirit forever and for
ever. lea. IL he were thy own
brother, or thy father, cast him
out
Ye voters of Lafayette cuun-
~. these are serious runOIs, ru
mOrs well worthy of your attcn.
tiO0, aud If you do justice to
yourselves and your children,
you viii not wink at them and
let them pass.
They Involve the character of
a man whose official career has
been one of rectitude, without
smirch or stain But human ma
ture is frail, and "self" dOmi
mates almost IN every ANIMAL,
biped or qDadruped. The
rights and privileges of the Op
posing candidates are at stake /:
do each justice aud yourselves
Justice by stamping out corrupt
ing Influences and the source
from which they come. and tree
your conscience from any direct
or indirect participation or in
doTsement of such vile methods
of drumming up votes
Il there has been unfair
means used IN the race for pom
ination for sheriff, let the Jockey
be ousted and rnu the race with
tue remaining Contestants, over
again In November This will
prove the kernel il or out of
the nut. We have to deal with
human nature, ard who is it
that don't know that such na
ture in every day life strongly
resembles hog nature.

John M. Palmer is the Man.

good of the Democratic party. After
two months of weary waiting the
will of the people of Illinois has at
last been obeyed and the Legislature
has given to them Gen. John NJ. Palm

This is not only victory for the
right and victory for Democracy,
but is the grandest victory of the old
soldiers life. For two months, while
the Republicans with their severa!
candidates were bowling and promis-
ing and intriguing for the spoils OF
office, Gen. Palmer entrenched him
self behind the undying principles OF
his party and neither asked nor Of
fered quarter. And while the +. M.

the Republican steering committee,
md their candidate Streeter was de-
passing himself and groveling in the

when the mask of hypocritical fawn-
Ing is torn off and Streeter's treach-
cry to both parties is clearly seen,
md his littleness and meanness stinks
in the nostrils of his farmer friends,
they turn to the Joshua of Democ-
racy, the only clean man they have
1ad before them, AMI crown him as
their leader. 1t was battle bravely

Henry Watterson'S Lecture.
The announcement that Mr.. Wat
terson is to lecture in Columbia next
week is hailed with delight by all
classes of our people. Perhaps no
public man Of the day has so many
admirers in this country as he, and
certainly none more deserves them.
Judged by every test of excellence ne
stands pre-eminent among the lead
ers of the times.
The editor of the greatest paper i'll
the South, he fills to the full measure
of expectation the seat of his great
predecessor, the immortal Prentice.
He is the Prince Rupert of Journal
ism and flashes in the fore front OF
every battle for the people,. routing
| their enemies with his fiery and ire
sistible onslaughts. Other leading
papers of the country are superior to
their editors, but Watterson Is
greater than the COurier-JOurndt,
powerful as it is. 1t is this splendid
individuality that sets HIM above al
other editors of the country, and
makes him the most commanding
figure of the age in journalism,
For years he has been the foremos
champion of the tariff reform and ha'
led the hosts of Democracy in the
fight against monopoly and CORFU
ton. His ability as an orator II
scarcely inferior to his character a
writer. In the councils OF his part!
his influence is second to none, anC
he is the oracle of the South. A pro
found scholar, an able statesman,
= great Democrat, a brilliant writer ant
l a powerful speaker, he is one OF the
few really great men of the age, and
: is recognized as such wherever M
: goes.
1t ia an honor to do honor to such
man. That the people of Louisville
, thus consider it, was shown by tn
ovation which they gave him on the
occasion of his lecture there las
week. Their largest auditorium wa
packed from pit to dome with tn
elite of his fellow-tOwnsmen. That
prophet should be so hCnOred in hi
own city, is the strongest possible
proof of the esteem in which he i
held.
In a large degree, we can also CLAIM
him as our own, His father, tn
venerable and distinguished Harve
Watterson, was a native of this coun
try, and his III pther was a Mis-
Black, of Spring Hill. His wife is
Tennessee woman, AMI Mr.. Water
! son himself was for some years u resi-
dent of this state.
Not only, therefore, should his re
| ception here be such as his greatnes
: deserves, but local pride and persona
= relations should make his welcOm
especially warm and emphatic. It

FROM our communication from
WIlliamsport we gather that there l.
an effort to build a turnpike from
there to Columbia; and there seems
to be two projected lines and differ
ence OF opinion as to which is the
best way. For fuller statement o.
the case we refer our readers to the
latter from WIlliamsport. The HER
AID does not understand the situa-
t;on "a we'll as the people of that
section, and OF course will not under,
take to interfere with their business
Rut we do know that road is badly
needed, and we believe either way
would make paying investment,
and we sincerely hope the parties
interested will harmonic their differ
enees of opinion and interests, and
macadamize one of the two lines.
