W e heard a few days ago that one man had already made his brags that ho was going to live hotter this your than lie had ever lived in his life, and he was going to do so at the expense of the candidates. Unfortunately for himself and fortunately for the candidates, ho blew his horn a little too soon and the candidates are said to have him spotted. Wo hope that the candidates will resolve this year not to en coih\;,(0 this class of men in their dot* libJo practice. Let the candidates got together and resol.e to stump this thing out of the capuign. A man who will sloop to such means to bio; d a candidate- or candidates does not appreciate his franchise privilege, and lie and his vote should be spurned by each and every candidate The candidates should know that uch men are in such a small minority, and their influence is so utterly insignificant that their vole or Iruiuenee is not worth the seeking. If fch* y will resolve to determinedly putt heir foot down on this thing they will gain i tie respect and esteem of tw > _;>?od men for every leech they turndown. Be sure the public will back you up in it. But woe bo unto you if you promise to stick and break your promise, hi t t in re he no blot of t.hi kind on the campaign <>f this I year. We hope the newspapers all over ihis State will take up lliis matter, and make it so warm that a pormammt stop will be put to the cumpain beggar. that tried the British empire to its utmost.
