As the election of County Officers is uear at

hand, and being before you as a candidate tor

the Sheriffalty. I think it due to you, as well as

myself, that my position should be more distinctlyunderstood. Yielding to the solicitationot many of my Irienus, without distinction of

n party, I consented to become a candidate, on the»y express condition that my claims to the office

It.ml.I n.\f It., K|',au.I I,,, narti' 11 nil ft blltthat I should be ietr to occupy an independentposition. I wa« implied to this course from a

''J thorough knowledge ot the importance ol the0 office, and having long been sa;ished ot the evils-f resulting to the public interest by the selection'0 ot incompetent men, because of their connectionwith some dominant party, 1 determined>0 to rest my claims u|>on your judgment, rather

than upon the endorsement ot either of the politi5-cal parties now in existence. At the time I announcedmyself a candidate, my intention was

'ff to see as many of the voters as possible, butthe position I now occupy precludes the possi10bility of my seeing you in person, aud I shall

"J be compelled to rely upon your discriminationin the coming contest. If. in your judgment,the experienc-r of thirty years of active com-

of mercial business, and a residence among you ofn over twenty years, entitle me to your support, 1,y shall lie thankful; and. if elected, will bring to

the office the best ot my ability in the discharge ,of its duties. The matte- now rests with you,and in your decision 1 shall cheerfully arqui10esce ROBERT CRUPPER.
