N. Hart. who is a geniaaa Of ex,
perience in public ana
never measured below very
highest standard OF a8.' safety
ana Judgment. as wr1 .esrlty
and uprightness in otIic lie IS a
gentleman widely and ra-t favor /,
ably known Throughout pc state
and-in business and political rela-
lions is highly esteemed n many
parts of the state. and specially IN
the circles that mold the noiicles OF
the state. The state administration
itself esteems him most highly as
he has been always an admirer Of
Governor Dawson and 4 firm believ-
er in the new tax laws. Before
thev we're reduced to law. he studied
the movement closely and sympa-
thized with it deeply. He has never
had occasion to change his mind
and today is an enthusiast on lower
and equal taxation. In Charles
ton he can be depended upon to up
hold those laws and to lend his eff
forts to their absolute perfection
Heis not pledged like his opponent
on a platform that demands Of
him repeal Of these excellent laws
ndsthe adoption Of measures that

ton. Certainly this one Thing IF
no other. and there are many others
in his favor. makes him a far
stronger candidate than line Demo-
cratic Legislative nominees in this
county
The other Republican nominee
for;the. legislature. Marcus l.. Rib
lett, is a highly creditable citizen
He was born and reared in the
county and has resided in ii all his
life. His people are pioneers and
fought to save the country and flag.
Heis representative Of the work
ingmen of the county and lis hon
estsand upright citizenship, in truth
one Of that class STYLED the bone
and sinew Of the land. His char
acter is without blemish, his life
has no shadow on it. his heart is
pure and clean, his citizenship has
never been Questioned. his sympa-
thies and acts have ever been pa
triotic and he has never secretly en-
tertained the wish to destroy his
state by turning it over 10 rebellion
and secession. he, too. i an ar
dent supporter of the state admin
istration and the new tay laws.
His loyalty TO party has never been
Questioned. His standing in church
is the best. and his reputation is
without shade. He is just such a
man as will represent his county
honestly, fairly, faithfully. square
II. He does not stand pledged to
repeal the new tax laws and infict
the people again with hish md OPP
p7essive taxation as his opponent is
pledged to do.
Last but not least Tho telegram

All things taken into eonsidera-

is bv far better than The Demo
