Editors of Union : In accordance with your wishes and mine, I reply to “Conundrums” in last week's Union: In the main I shall vote the Republican ticket. The ballot is a personal privilege.. The Prosecuting Attorney is not a grand jury to procure indictments against individuals. He only advises on matters of law and obeys the dictates of the jury. The Prosecuting Attorney is not Governor of the State, and has no power to remit forfeitures. The Governor remitted one-half of the Keyes forfeiture, and I paid the other half into the treasury. It was right. I would do so again. If re-elected, will look closely to the interest of the school fund, and endeavor to promote peace, good order, and good habits among the people. Very truly your friend,

SIMON P. THOMPSON.
