A LETTER.
Mr. Ed. and citizens of Schley
County.—I had not intended to say
anything throug the papers, and as
little, direct from the lips, as was at
least modest and prudent for nny
one who is before the people, ask-
lug their suffrage,
As I feel the weight and respon-
sibility of such an attitude as well
as the responsibility of the position
we re I now elected and already try-
j„g to fill the position of represent-
i ng you in the House of Represent-
atives: and thus feeling this so sen-
sibly, I can hardly now, get my eon-
sent to write, but my respected op-
ponent forces the duty upon im ,•
and state in the outset that Mi¬
McCrory and myself are good
friends and certainly ever hope to
so remain, and if either of us are so
fortunate as to be chosen by you
on next Tuesday the 24th Inst, and
are afterwards elected, then I hope
that the fortunate one will act in
such a manner as not to bring re¬
proach on those he represents.
I feel that the citizens of this Co.
do not look on us as strangers, but
as men known to all, for many years
and did not feel that it wasexpect-
that we should trouble you by out-
visits, and for this reason I have re¬
mained quietly at home, looking af¬
ter my business affairs, I am forced
however to correct my opponent,
Mr. McCrory, in iris sayings as re
gards my views and obligations to
my friends. I have learned from
men who a- e responsible for what
they say, that in Mr. JWcCrory’s
canvass on last Monday, that he
told them that -1 had obligated my-
-elf, in the event I was elected, to
secure the passage of the stock law
for this county, and that a certain
man tried to get him to obligate
himself to do so, but he refut ed,
and then he came to me, and I ob¬
ligated to do so. This, to put it in
as mild language as possihl, is false;
every word of it untrue.
If I had to obligate myself to do
any certain thing to benefit only a
lew indiuals and not the major ty
of the people, never would I be
found in the legislative halls of Ga.,
robbing her treasury as a thief in
the night.
If I am not mistaken, heretofore
Mr. McCrory himself, has been one
of the strongest “no-fence” men in
t ie county, and at an election on
this issue, a f*w years ago, went so
far as to insult some of the fence
men. Then why such a sudden
change. He also stated that I did
not want the office and that it was
forced on me against my will. In
reply to this assertion by the gen¬
tleman, will state that I have never
had any great desire or aspiration
for office, nor even have I ever beeu
infected with what is called the
“office itch.” When I was first so¬
licited, I admit that I refused to
make the race, because I felt that
there were men in Schley County,
better competent for the position
than j was; but after being solicited
by people from different portions
of the county, I consented to run
and as I have said’ not on any issue
or placing myself under any obliga¬
tion on any issue, but to put the
gentleman in what I think is the
true light pefore you, I will say that
wden he is with a “stock-law” man,
he is of the same opinion; ai)d vice
versa; suiting himself to any man-
ner of circumstances, and happy is
he who pan so do. But Oh! consis¬
tency; thou art a jewel.
The gentleman also tells you that
I do not want the-position, but that
I was forced to run: common sense
and observation teachps you that
this is false,as wg have known but
few men in onr lives, who refused
office, and I have concluded that
thee have quit manufacturing such
worthless fellows now in tin; latter
I days, I promise to serve the
jorlity of the people should I be
elected and serve impartially, and
to this end I will heartily appreciate
the action of all who honor mo with
their votes,
Very Respectfully’.
A. C. Murray.
OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent
Washington, July 13,1888
Mr. Barnum chairman of the
national democratic ©ommitte. ha>
been in the city for several days in
consultation with Mr. Cleveland
$
Senator Gorman and others. He
positively refused to be interviewed
but from another source I learn
that lie is very confident of Demo¬
cratic scucess. He winks in a com¬
ical sortofa way, when told that the
republicans expect to carry Connec¬
ticut New York, and New Jersey, as
much us to say they may in another
year, but not this oue.
Commissioner Column certainly
has reason 30 feel proud of
his administration of the agricultu¬
ral Department when he receives
such compliments as the one paid
him by Senator Plum at the meeting
of the senate committee on agricul¬
ture. The question under considera¬
tion was the pro posed transfer of
the weather bureau of the agricul¬
tural department. General, Greely’,
Clieif Signal officer, was present to
oppose the trausfer he accused Mr.
Culinan of using influeuce to bring
about the transfer; Senator Pad-
dock and Plumb, both republicans
warmly defended Mr. Column from
this charge, and Senator Plumb ad¬
ded the feeling among farmers of the
West js in favor of having the
weather bureau connected with the
Agricultural Department, which
has grown steadily despite opposi¬
tion and ridicule, and which is now
rendering better service ,and is of
more value to the people than ever
before
The Postmaster General’s able let¬
ter against the subsidy amendment
to the post office appropriation bill
was before the Senate this week.
It acted on the republican Senators
much as u red baudanua might be
expected to act on so many young
and unruly bulls. They insisted up¬
on the amendment and ask for an-
other conference. Mr. Beck, told
them that lie had no idea that the
house woul eviir agee to the amend¬
ment, and did not believe that it
ought to do so.
The House has passed the Agricul¬
tural appropriation bill, with the
Senate amendments.
Representative Samuel. J. Ran¬
dall had u dangerous attact of hem¬
orrhage this week, but is now some¬
what better. His' physicians say
that absolute rest is necessary for
him, so that it is not likely that he
will again appear on the floor of the
House at tire present session.
The Mill tariff pill is making good
progress in the house, and hopes
are now expressed of getting it to a
final vote next week. Its passage is
assured.
The Independent colored political
Association of Virginia met in this
city this week and heartily approv.
ed the call for the conference of in¬
dependent colored men Indianapo¬
lis on the 25th inst. The election 15
delegates to the conference, and
passed a resolutiod endorsing the
administration of President Cleve¬
land.
The national convention of the
National American party’ will be
held in this city Aug. 14, to adopt n
platform and nominate candidate
ror President and Vice president.
The Senate has passed a bill to a-
mend the Iuter- state commerce act
which makes a number of more or
less important changes in law.
Granny Blair has succeeded in
getting his constitution prohibition
amendment about as far as it will
ever go. A favorable report has
tieen made upon it by the Senate
committee.
The House commttee on Military
affairs has made a favorable report¬
ed on the bill, introduced by Mr.
Laird, appropriating $ 2 '>t), 0 W for
aiding state house for the support of
disabled soldiers and sailors of the
United States. Among ths provis¬
ions of the bill, is one droviding for
the payment to state houses of $100
for each imnaie received by them.
It is estimated at the Post office
Department, that the deficiency in
the revenue of the postal service
tor the fiscal year just ebed, will bo
about $4‘ 000,000* Last year it was
something over $5, 5000, 000.
The following gentlemen have
been appointed by Chairman Bar¬
naul as the campaign committ.
W. L - Scott, of, Peun. Authur p.

induced by a sense of dut y to the sutTering
to make a brief statement of your remark¬
able cure of myself. I was a most miser¬
able sufferer from the various annoying
and distressing diseases of delicate person!,
which caused me to be confined to my

even bear my weight upon my fed L
was treated by the most reputable physi¬
cians in our city, each and all saying the/
could do nothing for me. I hadgivenup,
all hopes of ever being well. In this con-
: dition I began to take your ManaLIS

say in three months I was perfect!/ well
~entirely cured, without any appliances

Mr. G. A. Proehl, New Portage, Sum
mit County, Ohio, writes: “My wife
; has been sick for about five years. In the.
first place the doctor called it leucorrhcei,
and treated it about one year, and she
1 grew worse, and turned to ulceration oi
the womb, and was treated for that two
years, but she grew worse and the doctor
gave her up. Then I employed I)r. Un¬
derwood, one of the best doctors of Akron,
i but under his treatment she grew worse.
She was paralyzed; she had lost all of the
: sense of feeling and her eyesight. She
could not walk for nearly two ) earii
| About six months ago Underwood gave
her up. She tried your Pkruna. She
has taken three bottles, and it did more
good than any other medicine. Thept-
ralysis has about left her; her evesightu
getting better We will continue the me
of Pkruna until she is well.” 3ed-
Mr. Isaac Nicodemus, Schellsburg, induced,

a brief statement of your remarkable help,
as a sufferer of catarrh in my head and

in 1S83 I lost my speech, and was not able
to do any kind of work for near three
