Highest of all in Lates US world: buy- Baking ETC. Royal Ponder PURE LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE EDITOR FREE your 158 ne the I think it was I wrote before last, little communication for no other purpose than that of warning to our democratic nominee for sheriff, that he might be upon the alert, and keep above the wave of censure a man also as one of the standard bearof the democratic party. In the place let me define myself as to private as well as public friendship. Personally he is my friend and I amn As an officer of public trust he should hare no friend either private or public but should with jealousy keep oath he has taken upon himself and track the law. I will now reiterato that the things with which he has been charged are toe, I say he ought not to the sheriff of Carroll county.

Iu first instance he is charged with haying arrested a man whom be had imprisaned, charged the county with turn keys and board, which the county paid. The party on account of whom these items were charged, swears before a public officer that they were, nutand that the sheriff had made truc, the county false charges. The against nomince denies this by simply saying "slander." but goes not a step further in the mater. He has had a long while to prove this to be a "slander" but seems to be careful not to do Why has he not had "this "vile slanderer" arrested and bound over for perinry? It certainly was and is the easiest as well as one of the most things known to the law. expeditious looks like our sheriff is afraid of alt investigation? Is it true and if why, allow me to ask, are we bound by any personal or political ties to rote for bim? I sco none whatever.

At the same time, I sec no reason why Third party man should be elected and crowned as a victor over a mistake that was unintentionally made by the democratic From a few communications that I have. seen in the FREE PRESS as well as opinions of the democrate of the county. our lato primary was not carried out according to the instructions of the Democratic Executive com nittec, and no organized democrat is 'bound by its results. If this be it does look plansible, why should not Mr. Tanner or Mr.

Broom be vo tell for in the coming January election: and make it a strictly party rote? Is it independentism; when neither of these gentlemen are candidates? If: so where is it? If the present candidates were made the nominees by Third partyites and Repuplicans and 110 the face of instructions to the colttrary by the Democratic Executive Committee of the county, whose vicwill it be when they are elected? tory We all know it is not a democratic oHe. what are we to do abont it? AnThen Allow every one to vote for swer: whom he pleases Irrespective of parand it certainly will not be. conties, trary to the workings of the late prielection. Let us bo democratic mary the core or let ns do as we. please nt to January election.

At all the coming crents, I trust that a selection of good and competent men may be made. TATES. FOR RENT. One seven room. house to rent, OIl Maple street.
