It is a falsehood black as night, I have made no promise to any one except that I would (if elect ed) make a good clerk of court, and I say further that I asked only two voters to support me in the convention and neither of them were present. If 1 am elected I will give a sufficient bond aiid take an oath which I have done for 16 years in' this county, and I am not ashamed of my official record and court any investigations of my official past record.
