THE DIFFERENCE.<\/p>\n

We present below some of the reasons why Mr. Boyd should be preferred before Mr. Furlong – by all good Republicans – as the next sheriff of Warren county. These reasons consist in the difference between the two men in person, and in their record and sentiments:<\/p>\n

G. W. BOYD<\/a><\/p>\n

Was a Republican from his birth.<\/p>\n

Mr. Boyd was for a short time a justice of the peace at Davis’ Bend.<\/p>\n

Mr. Boyd invests his money in Mississippi, and will remain here and continue a Republican whether in or out of office.<\/em><\/p>\n

Mr. Boyd has his every cent invested in property in this State.<\/p>\n

Mr. Boyd says he will get his nomination honestly if he can, or not at all.<\/p>\n

Mr. Boyd says he will support the nominee of the Republican party.<\/p>\n

Mr. Boyd pledges himself to bring county warrants up to full value – not to speculate in county funds – and to pay into the treasury just such money as he collects.<\/p>\n

Mr. Boyd pledges himself to transact his business with the Republican bank, where the savings of the colored people are deposited, and in which they are interested.<\/p>\n

Mr. Boyd pledges himself to employ none but Republicans as deputies, or in any other position under him.<\/p>\n

Mr. Boyd will support Republican papers.<\/p>\n

Mr. Boyd pledges himself not to be a candidate for re-election. He will devote his whole attention to the business of his office, and leave the field open at the end of two years.<\/p>\n

Mr. Boyd has not and never will descend to corruption and bribery.<\/p>\n

Mr. Boyd is a colored man, and Mr. Furlong is violating his solemn pledge in running against him.<\/p>\n

C. E. FURLONG<\/p>\n

Was a Republican from the date of his appointment to office.<\/p>\n

Mr. Furlong has been sheriff for four years, and realized therefrom at least $100,000.<\/p>\n

Mr. Furlong invests his money in United States bonds and sends them to New York. He has repeatedly said that he will not remain in this country a day after he gets out of office and settles his sheriff’s business, when he will return to the Democracy.<\/p>\n

Mr. Furlong don’t own a cent of real property in this State though worth a hundred thousand dollars.<\/p>\n

Mr. Furlong says he will buy his nomination and election.<\/p>\n

Mr. Furlong has threatened to run independent, and says he can control the Democratic votes.<\/p>\n

Mr. Furlong has kept county warrants down to fifty and sixty cents, and has purchased them by deputy for that price.<\/p>\n

Mr. Furlong does his official and private business with a Democratic bank.<\/p>\n

Mr. Furlong when in office employed none but Democratic deputies, and repeatedly refused to give Republicans places under him.<\/p>\n

Mr. Furlong gives all his official printing to the Herald<\/em>, a Democratic sheet.<\/p>\n

Mr. Furlong has had the sheriff’s office for four years; he wants it two years longer, and probably forever.<\/p>\n

Mr. Furlong claims that he spent a year’s salary in buying his confirmation in the Senate.<\/p>\n

Mr. Furlong solemnly promised that if he was confirmed by the Senate, he would not run against a colored man for the office.<\/em><\/p>\n"},"caption":{"rendered":"
