ent efficient County Clerk, declines o be.
come candidate for the denomination To
the said office He does so gracefully and
literally. He says that he truly believes
that he could land tie nomination if he
would go after it, bat he thinks two terms
IN the best office in the county is good
enough for one man, and as the Democrats
have bestowed it upon him twice, it would
pc ungratefol of him to ask for it again.
and thus cause a hard fight to be made in

excellent Clerk, and when he rstires, the
County will lose an official than whom il
