It is known to tho people of Lancaster that 1 Imve starved my county as sheriff for a number of years, and ray State as U S Marshal for one term. It now remains with ray i fellow citizens to say whether or not 1 have been true and faithful in the discharge of ray ollicial duties in the past Should they conclude that I have been, and choose to favor me with an election to the office of sheriff again, I i pr<m'u? with the help of a kind I'rovidence to render as faithful service in the future as I endeavor ed to perform when I was their servant in the pa>t; and shall at j ways be guided by that golden I rule: "Do unto others a I would wMi them to do unto me." Some 1 would feign persuade my friends to believe that I committed an offense by resigning the Sheriff's : office and accepting the U S Mar- j shal's office, which was procured j for me by strong friends in tins | county and State- After persistent j persuasion to allow my name to I be used for said office. In this .matter 1 did only what ray friends j urged me to do; atid I am confident that no one can say truth fully that 1 have ever, in any in j stance, been disloyal to those who ' have so kindly given 1110 their confidence and support. If any one has suffered unv detiimen ^whether by the course of my I' friends, in promoting mo to tho office of LJ S Marshal, 1 have never I yet heard of it.

Do you know that wo ai ire literally spar ry kind Take a I nod indirment ry Small profits on i ices are so tempt You Banking i o<l by my good friends of this , county and State, for which It 1 shall ever feel very grateful, I am J nevertheless a poor man today. I Nor am I at all ashamed of my ' I poverty; for it is no disgrace to ] bo poor if honest, any more than j it is to be rich, if riches bo honest? |y obtained. if I had been a ' covetous man as some would like j to have my friends believe, I ' would have been independent to- i day, so fur us this world's goods \ are concerned; and the very fact ' that I am still a poor man lefutes i the insinuations of those who 'i malignine. ' All of these matters, however, , I shall leave to the good people j of Lancaster county to determine; ? and let them say whether or not I have even turned a deaf ear to cries for help, or have heen hlind 1 to the needs of poor struggling humanity, when it was it my power to relieve want or su tiering. The question of sclenting a slieriIf for tr.e next four vears is before the voters; and with confidence in their judgment I shall await their decision at the primary, AS TO WHO SHALL SERVE TIIEM, and pledge myself to abide by the result of their ballot.
