THE MERCURY CALLED DOWN.

Editor of GRAPHIC:
Dear: sir want to thank the
Mercury man for the good he is doing
me in political way. If he will just
give me write up every week from
now until election, l am sure to he
eIectedl by a good majority and I am
glad that 1 have got him worked up to
such a state. Smith has a personal
spite against me because 1 exposed
him for his cussedness in giving a
mortgage on land that the records did
not show that he had any right to and
because 1 have refused to do any more
recording for him without the pay in
advance. 1 am under bond to protect
the records and am going to do my
duty as Register of Deeds according
to law and 1 intend to charge the legal
fees for work, just the same as other
registers have done before me. 1 have
a record of all fees charged by all the
registers, ever since there has been a
registers Office in the county. Smiths
saying that am charging illegal fees
does not make it so for he makes his
living by lying and is paid for doing sc
am glad that he is opposing me in
this campaign, because 1 am more
certain of being elected than if 1 had
his support. Now then, will say tt
the voters of Edwards county, that
am doing business with several regis
ters in the state and some twelve OF
fifteen loan companies and real estate
men in differnt parts of the state ant
who have attorneys connected witt
their business that know more law il
minute than Smith knows in a week
and they do not find any fault will
my fees, which they certainly would, i
they were illegal, and if any of th'
voters of the county want to see wha
am doirg in an official way come ant
see me at the office.

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

The delegates of the republican
party met in our city in convention
last Saturday. Col. Beezley was elect
ed temporary chairman and Jonas
Miller secretary. After appointing the
usual committees the chairman annou-
need that the ladies of the city had
provided dinner for the delegates and
would expect them at 1890. This
move seemed to meet with general
approval and the convention adjourned
to meet at 2 p, m.
AFTERNOON sEssIC::
The chairman called the IA, citing to
order and called for the report of the
committee on credentials which show
ed that thirteen delegates had failed
to attend. DIR. Seacat's motion that
where there were vacancies the dele
gates present should fill their delega-
ton from alternates present, was car
ried. The committee OIL resolutions
reported as follows:
I'VE the republicans of Edward
county in convention assembled renew
and declare our allegiance to the rep.

country upon the results of the last
election which gave US republican
majority in congress and drove pOpu

ABRAHAM LINCOLN's sentimental
perplexities are to be shown in an al
ticle of singular interest which John
Gilmer Speed has written from unpub-

Speed, for the next issue of The Ladies

that the great President was not

induced his friend Speed to marry and
tell him Lincolnl whether marriage
was a failure or not.
