mp. Editor: I would like to
say a few words to the Denv
crate of this county and
State.
'Last week Wm.T. Jerome,
Attornej General of N. Y.,
said in a speech at Buffalo,
that "the Democratic party
bad been tor yearn disgraced
by its so called conservative
traders, and it is time for a
change In the same week at
Bryan's Chicago reception,
John Temple Graves of At
lauta, fla said; 'What the
country needs is a Definite
Democracy that listens to no
whining conservatism That
is fast the thing the people
want, if Democracy is right,
I dny that it on u he too rad
leally right. It does not hurt
.any. honest thing to sail a
soade a spade, and Dot a
toothpick.
' Certain self-conscious Re-
7.' publicans are sore over t h
. record of their party, when it
comes to justice. to all men
- and don't like for the truth
to be told: and they huddle
witha few softhell Demo
rrats and whine about the ex
posure that is so jaat. Then
they all get together and as
sume to dictate to the cam
paign stvimp speaker what
be must not say, and to the
country newspaper editor
what be mast not do. If
these gentlemen don't do
as they say lust what these
.', conservatives are going to
do for them. Will one of these
:: sore head republicans or soft
shell Democrats please tell
n the dear people whero they
ever amounted to anything
good, or wheie they have al
wa j 8, succeeded in doing the
wrong thing? I deny that the
short comings of the Repub
lican party can be placed be
" fore the people In language
. too strong, so it is decent.
Of course, these conservative
Republicans do not like to
see the javelin of troth hurl
ed into their political anat
omy; It makes them sick, and
it ought to.
Then comes in your soft-
; shell Democrat, aud says all
this don't do any good.
assert that it does do good!
Might as' well tell a preacher
of the gospel that preaching
Christ doesn't do any good
lsay if the Democratic par
ty la right, it cannot be too
radically right. Conserva
tism prevented Samuel J. Til
den from taking bis seat as
President when he was duly
. elected, and known to be by
all honest men; and ever since
that time Democracy has
: been on the down grade. Re.
. ' publican br ibery has brought
tho change, and just look
where we are today! The dol
fur above the man! William
Travis Jerome is not a con

a conservative; John Temple
Graves is not n conservative;
John Sharp Williams is not
a conservative; Joe Folk is

crate, for their conserva
tism in the present campaign
and does not fail to gi ve ye
little country editor a lick,
by saying that he is dicta
ted to as to what he shall
or shall not publish. The two
first mentioned, if there be
any of them, can answer for
themselves, but the Demo
crat wishes to plead not gnil
ty of the uccusatlon. This pa
Der has always bad ideas of
its on, and from years of
experience we baye learned
that there has never been a
vote trained by abuse, nor a
vote won by any other than
cool, conservative means,
and "Phantom", should he
indulge in a Mt of retrospect
tion, would be of the same
opinion. He gloats out the
fact that W. J. Bryan, with
a number of other leading
Democrats throughout the
nation, is strictly non-conservative,
forgetting so soon
how outraged he claimed to
be at the radical speech de
livered by Mr. Bryan in New
York, saying: "Bryan has
played b 11, just as I expect
ed him to do." '0n, consis
tency, thou art h Wei" but
'Phantom' possesses none of
thy graces. ;
The article referred to is in
s e r t e a at iuii aavertising
rates, and we presume tbe an
tbor deems it fully worth tbe
price. Our readers can decide
for themselres whether or
not it is calculated to save
the country, politically..
