Editor Ledger:—Permit me through your paper to reply to a communication of Wm. Anderson. The purpose of circulating the peti tion referred to in his communication was to get the people in the York side of the county to endorse one man as a candidate to fill out the unexpired term of Hon. W. D. Kirby for the legislature, and it was thought that if this en dorsement was practically unanimous that other parts of the county would support the man thus endorsed and.we would be given representation one time in the law making department of the government. This was the object nothing more or less. Mr. Anderson states: “—petition is in circulation asking the executive committee of the Democratic party of this county to nominate Mr. N. W. Hardin for the legislature.” U P 1 will state that this is untrue; first. )ok j , W. H. ROBINSON, Tailor. Over W. n. Telegraph Office.

He further states. “That signatures have been obtained to said Qptitidn upon the represntation that there was no other candidate for said office.” This is untrue, because I am satis fied no such statement was made, and again, because the signers to said pe tition. which are hereinhelow partly given, are intelligent men, and . mean what they say and they know that such a statment, “—no other candidate for 1 lie office,” would be untrue, as no one knows who will be a candidate for the office. The whole tenor of the communica tion seems to cast a reflection upon the honesty of those who presented the petition, and upon the honesty and in telligence of the signers thereto. I submit here the petition and the signers thereto, and Mr. Anderson knows full well that there is not a more honorable and intelligent lot of men in the State, and any one should he proud of their endorsement, wheth er elected or defeated.
