policy and read the paper for many years,
long enough to lead me to believe that you
would not knowingly allow anything in its
columns that is calculated to injure any
one, even a politician. The article in
question is misleading, and will no doubt
injure Mr.. Henderson in the count lies
where primaries are yet to be held. Mr..
Henry's majority at the primary election
in this county to be exact. is 1867, aud
not 1900, as stated in the article. The
campaign was not warmly waged for the
past few weeks" but 1t was exceedingly
warm for few days only, being "waged'
less than two weeks Mr. Henderson 3
friends here and in other counties do not
consider this the pivotal county in the
race"-if so they would urge him 10 take
a case OF the grip and withdraw. Mr..
Henderson came to this county, having
less than a dozen acquantances, and re-
ceived the votes of 1851 good old free sill
yer democrats. in spite of the fact that
the opposition to him flooded the county
with the report that he was a goldbug and
had a republican for campaign manager
