A Card.

To the Editor of the Spirit:-I have
been asked to state my position upon the
State debt question, do not admit that
any debt is due from this State. but upon
the information obtainable by me. it ap-
pears that there is nothing due. This
whole question is before the Supreme
Court of the United States. and it is not
within the power of the Legislature of
this State to take it out of that court.
The so-called Campbell resolution was
introduced by Senator Campbell in the
Senate. and was rejected by that body.
No opportunity therefore was given to
members of the House to vote upon it.
If am nominated and elected to the
House. shall devote myself, as in the
past. to the interest of the whole people.

The County CIerkshlp.

Shepherdstown, April IA.
Editor Spirit:-Conceding the per-
sonal characters of both Messrs. Johnson
andGrantham to be above reproach. which
of these two gentlemen has the better
claim to the support of the Democrats OF
Jefferson county for the clerkship?
am for Johnson tor these reasons:
First. His eminent fitness for this most
important Office. He is an expert &C.
countant of conceded ability. and during
the past few months as acting Deputy
County Clerk. has demonstrated his ca
pacity and gotten valuable experience
which will serve him in good stead il
elected.
Second. He has for years. in and ou'
of season, been loyal aud hard working
Democrat. one who has served the part,
faithfully and well, and hitherto without
the hope of fee or reward. as he has new
er yet held public Office.
Third. Mr.. Grantham is good citizer
and one who has acquired competency
by tenure of offic. at the hands of the vot
ers of Jefferson extending over many
years. Mr.. Johnson needs the Office, be
ing dependent on his clerical labor fol
the support of his family. and has every
qualification to fill It acceptably and te
the advantage of our people. He is con
Quoting his campaign as he will conduc
| the Office in the event of his election-or
the highest plane of honorable dealing
He couldn't buy votes it he would, ant
wouldn't if he could.
Fourth; He has never allied himself
with any faction, and while he is on term.
of friendship with all his fellow Demo
Gratis who will be candidates at the com
| ing primary, he has not formed any com
bination or entered any ring. but will
submit his claim for consideration on hi!
individual record and merits.
He needs and deserves support. and il
my judgment will get it. for the good
people of Jefferson like fair play and nc
favor, and that is all his friends ask TO,
him. x x. x.

Z lanes Grantham when we wer,
The Battle of the Ballots.

Editor Spirit. Before another issue of
your paper our primary election will be
a thing of the past. The press has bee n
extremely kind in giving space to tie
friends of the various candidates as TO
their qualifications for the offices to be
filled. and if yon will indulge me trife
will present few facts why John T
Porterfield should be nominated tor
Prosecuting Attorney.
Ist His ability to successfully con-
duct the arduous duties connected with
the office-being a graduate of the Law
School OF the University of Virginia,
where brains and honesty are always at
a premium. and diplomas are issued
strictly and solely upon merit.
aud. His industry, obtaining the
means of attending the above institution
of learning by teaching school-an ex-
cellent barometer that if elected that he
will prove no laggard in the prosecution
of cases coming under his supervision.
Sd. Having the courage of his con-
vctions, the law would be strictly en-
forced.
4th. Experience. the great bugaboo
to fool the unthinking. his practice at
the bar dating back some six years-on
par with his experienced adversarie S.
And right here let me ask the old voter
how much of this stock in trade of ex-
perience did Forrest w Brown or Jas NJ
Mason possess when they made their
maiden bow asking the suffrages of the
people. leaving behind them records of
being two of our best States Attorneys
since ante-bellum days? Not enough to
carry precinct in the county.
9Th His politeness and general cor
diality to his fellow man; no matter if
he lives in palace or hut; not only at
plain John It Porterfeld, whether IN
civic life or honored with the highest
Office in the State.
With the above reflections as truth
tul portrayal OF his private lie, l ask
you. Mr. Voter. in all seriousness. if his
candidacy does not appeal to you and to
me. Carefully consider before casting
your ballot on Saturday. April rs. Our
forefathers taught that honesty and stur-
diness and studious and correct habits
in our public men are among the foun-
dstion stones in maintaining self gov
eminent. His election then will mean
that the dignity of the Office will be pre-
served. and that good old Democratic
maxim Equal Rights to All and Spe.
cial Privileges to None" will be rightly
enforced during his tenure as States AT.

to filter and strain from the blood the

which causes Rheumatism.
As Rheumatism is not only the most
painful and torturous disease. but dan

be greatly valued by many sufferers here
at home. who should at once prepare the
mixture to get this relief.
