pears the following: j 4t As I am: in
formed, a motion was made 1 that
MrBryan be appointed ' Proxy for

nominated Iloii.iC. C; Clark for the

fire members, two of whom voted
for Mr. Clark, two Voting) for Mr.,

utterly at ? variance I with !pure De-

Had the writer of the above para

in the case, I hardly think he Would
have regarded the casting of mv own
vote for, myself, as , an act of , such
shamelessness, , or m auv
wise at variance 1 with pure' Democ
racy. It has for a ' long time been
customary in this county, and very
properly' sbj for 'the Chairman of the

yote of the county in all meetings

structed to cast1 said vote, ;and this
3'ear, was again nominated for tlvq
same purpose. Mr. Clark was also
nominated; two ot the 'Commission-
ers voted for him, twb for me, whicli
mauo a tie, witn ine casting voiejin
my hands. ? I. felt satisfied theii as I
do now, that. .Mr.. Clark did not rep
resent the views of a I very large ma
jority ot the people of thd comity,
upon the very questions upon which
the: rote of the w county was to be
cast, and being, further satisfied that
the casting of the deciding vote had
been forced upon me for a purpose
I, without hesitation,1 and so stated
at the time to the Board, cast that
vote for; myself; or- rather for; the.
Chairman of the -Board of Commis
sioners and shall, ecer do so, under
similar circumstances. Is there a
man among your readers of any
spirit or self-respect who would not
have done likewise ? 1 1 have no ob-i
