One of the papers for which we
write leaves out-a page of our com
munication until our friends nominate
us for the Legislature. Tbe only w»y
for this scribe to get in the race is for
Ills frietsd* to pay the “V" fur the ad,
then go to the pic nlcs, church fair*
and protracted msrDng*—where they
never were seen before—and do stump
speaking and hand shaking and make
all the promise* and pay for the din
ner#, lemonade Ac.
We visited Barn well one evening du
ring court and shook hands with six
men, live of whom were candidates.
We knew them hy the usual sign,
which was a «mHmg face, a dnnllden-
tial hand shake and a special inquiry
a* to the health of our family. We
met twfo who are running for the same
office, they both a-ked that we do as we
had done them before. We don’t just
now recollect what that was, unless It
was a little unavoidable softsoaping
which, we guess, we own do again, If
that will be satisfactory tn th» gentle
men who arecgolng into the race.
The promise* of candidate*, or even
smmmxMMmMmmmmMmmtamamM
little. We remember once to have ask
ed two members cf tiife Legislature to
advoc*to4he passage of a law making
it the dirty of the county Auditor to
publish the transfer* of real estate at
least once a year. Tor the benefit
of parties who purchase lands, think
ing the taxes ffr? pahl and don’t know
anything to the contrary until the
Sheriff arrives with an execution. One
of die representatives promised and he
‘reminded u# of the chap, in the Bible
that said “I go sir, and went, not,” on
