To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-The consummate assumption
of the Intelligencer is amusing. If jim
Hall doesn't get something, it thinks
the first district is sighted. The fact
is the first district ought to unite in
keeping Hall or Henning from getting
thing. When they fell down at the
Charleston convention with such "a
dull thud, they passed the word
around that the First district didn't
want anything, and they Iwilfully
knitted such good Republicans as S..
W. Atkinson, R. H. Cotton, F. H. Cra-
go, w. H. Anderson, A. c. Holmes,
w. B. Mathews, C. w. Lynch, ]. E.
Hooten, and other gentlemen from
the first district who were talked of
for places.
l voice the sentiment of the vast
majority of the voters of this dis
trict when l say that nobody imagines
that Hall or Henning, with the Intel
ligencer thrown in, constitute the
first district, unless it is Hall or Hen
ming themselves.
The first district is perfectly willing
for William E. Glasscock, of the Sec
ond, to be clerk of the Supreme Court,
