This is all Tom my rot John and you on ly put such stuff in print to try to ameliorate the ctiaie yon have committed, and we urge that you read the a mend ment before you comment any farther thereon. When 'you read it for yourself and uot rely wholely on the judg ment of scheming politicans. it you can find one paragraph therein that will disfranchise a single white man, be he ev er so illiterate, we will vote with you in the future.

Good by, John. May your "figured tick" be a strong prop to jou in your declining yearn, and may your anticipated pleasure in the g. o. p. be ful ly realized. , A New York Dispatch says that a man by the name of Newan under twenty indict ments, and who skipped the country in 1886, has return ed and surrendered himself: He went to Amsterdam in Holland and succeeded as a diamond merchant and has returned to settle up if he an, He had defrauded one firm but of $ 200,000, and the firm hud to assign. Some of the papers are sug gesting that President Mc Kinley appeal to France to vindicate Dreyfus.

He in now engaged in a war of conquest and extermina tion upon the people of the Philippine Islands; using all the mentis and power of the United States to subjugate a brave and patriotic people a jieople whose only offense is. that they wish to govern themselves -n people whose government bus been model ed after that of our own a people who, when we needed help and friends, were willing and did lend a helping hand, and no doubt but they saved the livos of many of o u r brave soldiers in our war with Spain. Yet, our Presi dent in a recent speech to re turned soldiers, declared it to be his policy to "subjugate the Filipinos for their good" and "with charity towards all." That, within itself, is somewhat peculiar, but re cent; acts are moreso. Not long since he sent Gen. Bate to the Sultan of the Su lu Islands and forme 1 o' made tieaty by a bribe of f 10,000 of the people's mon ey, in which that group of is lauds became to all intents and pui poses a part of the tentory of the United States. The treaty binds this govern ment to defend the islands and protect ite officers. The Sultan is absolute Monarch, a Mohatuedan iu faith, a po lygamic by practice, having twelve living wives. The gov ernment tolerates slavery in its worst form, and encoura ges piracy, by which the peo pie mainly make their living. Not one of these atrocious practices or customs does Mc Kinley ask themtoabaDdon, thus violating the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitu tion. When wo "ruminate" upon these things and remember his treatment of the Philip pine government, whose head is christian in faith, having but one wife, witn a govern ment forbidding slavery and encoui aging Christianity and with churches in every city, we are wont to exclaim, this is peculiarity or cussednehs which? H. A. D. Brookside, Sept. 18. The republican party has at Ia6t discovered a counter balance to conscience and honesty, and that is corrup tion and the boodle. With this they hope to succeed all over.

My attention hnsbeen call ed t'j an article appearing iu your paper of date Aug. 24, 1899, in which it J stated that "John L. Councill, of Vi las, a young man whbse de mocracy has never been qiies tioned, is holding the .posi tion Of brandy ganger, etc." I (o not know what others think of my democracy. I have yoted with the demo cratic party. I resented the assertion of the republican' candidates and speakers made at the last fall elections that the democracy harbor ed evil doings upon the bal lot box, or that they intend ed to require an educational qualihVati jn for the exercise of the election franchise, I knew that the energy and moral qualities of many of our illiterate ancestors had contributed largely tothede velopvient of our common country. 1 kiiew that the bur dons of State had been borne with Herculean strength by men who had made them selves intelligent, worthy citi zens, who knew nothing a bout the elementary princi ples of English gram mar, and in fact, in many instances, by men who could not raad and write. Knowing this 1 was swift to resent any insinua tion that the democracy would attempt to degrade this most meritorious class of our toiling tax-payers. But since the action of our last Legislatuee in seeking to deprive a large per cent, of our best citizens of their right of suffrage, to claim therefore to be any longer a democrat would be the sherest hypoc risy on my part. I shall fight as with heart. and hand, and with every other power God has given me in the begin ning of my manhood life these most to be dreaded results. I will never give my consent to the dishonorable proposi tion to commit the entire elec tion machinery to one party. I will never consent to an a mendment to our State Con stitution which drives out of existence all political parties except the one governing the election machinery. I believe that the arraignment of our public abuses at the bar of reason is the only hope of this republic. A party that fears this is not bravo and un fit to govern a free people. John L. Councill.
