GOOD FOR THE GOVERNOR.

The failure of the effort to GUST Sher.
if Jackson from the office to which he
was elected by large majority against
some of the strongest opposition ever
faced in this county, is a matter for
congratulation, not only for the Sheriff,
but for the people of Hillsboro County
and for the Governor, who refused to be
swayed by the demands Of politicians.
Sheriff Jackson is an immensely popular
man throughout Hillsboro County. This
was demonstrated by the size of the pc

this point.
These politicians had no special griev-

They merely wanted his job for one of
their friends.
The funny thing about the proceed

different friends.
The Governor doubtless sized up the
situation without much difficulty.
1t is to his credit that he rose above
the dictates of factionalism and refused
to set aside the peoples will.
