Coen, Sec’y. Beware of spurious tickets. Remington Ind., November 1. 1882. To Charles H. Price, Chairman, and the Gentlemen of Jasper County Democratic Central Committee. I hereby withdraw my name as a candidate for ( ounty Commissioner of the third district. I feel grateful to the party for the nomination which wae sc unanimously tendered me and am anxious for its success at the polls, and in retiiing from the canvass I am prompted by a desire to do that, wnich iu my judgment will be for the best interests of the people and the party with which I have been connected so long. I believe that if Mr. Rockwood and myself both remain in the field, success, to say the least, would be doubtful. I therefore withdraw my name as a candidate for commissioner of Third District, and suggest that the name of Elisha E. Rockwood be substitu-* ted. Mr. Rockwood fills the Jeffersonian standard for he is both honest and capable, and if elected, as I think he will be, will make a faithful and efficieot officer. Hoping that Democratic principles and Democratic candidates may triunph and that we can rejoice togethv er in a magnificent victory. I am yours respt’y Edward W. Culp.

The “Boss” who has been doing the heavy writing for the Republican intimates that the Sentinel has been continually harping on their admissions with reference to the character and habits of their candidates. Not so. But we have been harp ng o n their circulating what they term “that large brood of foul slanders” and then charging it upon Dem crats. Thanks to Dr. Kelley tor a number of wild ducks. A very heavy rush of job work has delayed us in going to press this week. A little capiril is needed for Mr. Powell, and therefore the Republican deems it necessary to insinuate that Wes. Duvall is engaged in circulating a i.eport that Mr. P. connived at the escape of the prisoners recently in his custody. Nothing is more preposterous, Mr Duvall has been doing no such thing But then the Repub lican ha- been a success in placing its candidates in unfavorable attitudes before the people.
