Tho only complaint we have heard
even democrats make of J. M. Wright
is that he used to be a democrat und
hasn't been a republican long enough
to show that it is a genuine reform,
Well, we admit that tho chargo that
man has been a democrat is a pretty
serious ono, but we do nob believe in
bringing uu a man's paat mistakes
when be haa repented, and we believe
Mack's conversion ia genuine. All ads
mit that he is peculiarly well adapted
for the position of clerk, that he is the
best posted man we ever had in the
clerk's office, und that he will undoubts
edly make a superior olllcor. Then
why not elect him by acclamation?
How's this?
