B. Blackman, if he will accept. This appointment would please a large number of Democrats who think the office of deputy sheriff should be iErH Qd and not be dragged in the mire of partisan politics. MT. B1akeman is a popular. officer of the law, and though an ardent Vo1ImerS supporter, gaining many Republican recruits for the supp port of his chief on Tuesday, these Republicans backed by the Democratic organization ought to land the job for him. these aforesaid Republicans say. In the meantime the friends of John l son who was a, former sheriffs deputy, and now constable, and the friends l of Constable Tilson are saying nothing 1 but saving wood.
