Mccoy the nominee. This is false, and is kno VII to be false by every member of the committee and by MT. Murray himself, ,,for he held a proxy on the committee The fact is that on tbat resolution l did not vote at all. 1refused to vote for the resolution for the reason that was satisfied, as were others, from the proof, that be had not received in the late primary election more votes for sheriff than Edgar Brewster. l voted for the resolution declaring Edgar Brewster the nominee, be- cause the proof before us showed that he was the nominee, and to vote for Mccoy in the face of such proof would be to stultify myself, which l was unwilling to do.
 have resided ia Jefferson county for thirty eight years and have al- ways tried to conduct myself as all honorable and upright man, and have twice been honored by the Democracy of the county by belf z elected to the office of Assessor. Until Mr. Murray became disp eased with me because would not vote against what believed to be right aud made this attack upon me, Iknow of no one ever having had word to say against me.
 In this article, he seeks to belitte and disgrace me by referring to me as Sit If MT, Murray can injure me in this county where am known by such reference, l can't help it. l have never offered to do him a wrong. As member of the cen tral committee,I did what my honest judgment dictated l have no req son to regret the course l pursued, but feel justified in it, especially since I received the best indorse- ment as to this matter of many of our citizens among the best Demo crats of our county.
 am not the editor Of 5 newspa per and do rot desire to become in- vowed in newspaper controversy with MT. Murray but merely wlite these lines that the public may know whether Mr. Murray is justi- fled in his warranted attack upon me.
