We have been hearing so many
politica! rnmors recently, we have
reached the conclusion that some
people regard any old thing tEcy
can do Or say in politics is per-
m,ssable. Lying, and blowing TO
deceive is their long suit. But
there is this hope, the people can
not be fooled as easily as some
may think. This is the day when
white men are independent, and
vote as they see fit. and the one
who magincs he can control votes
is only deceiving himself. There
fore. our advice is for every man
who is running for office to de.
pend upon his own merit rather
than to bank his hopes on the fel-
low who would try to create the
impression that if you want any
thing in his section or his com.
munity you must &C to him, as
what he says goes. Watch the
vote of this county in the coming
primary and it will be convincing
that the voters vote, not at the
dictation of any one, but judge a
candidate By what service he has
rendered, Or of his fitness TO rem
der service. and the man who re-
ceives the majority, is the choice
of the masses.
