Mr Editor:
A friend of mine handed ma a
copy of the Randolph Bulliteni in
which was an article from Central;
speaking of Private Seott Lineberry
being among the wounded on ac
count of briken promises by the
road force. To those who know
me, its uuuessary to reply, but for
fear some may think me a weak
kind of a Democrat. I beg space
in yuir paper to say that I don't
belong to that class.
I am a Democrat because 1 believe
iu a government of the people, by
the people, aud for the people,
which is Democratic doctrine.
I am a Democrat because that
