The notice states that Dr. Morphew's candidacy waa not rensrally known, hence hi small vote. In those- precinct where It was moat generally known and where th largest vota wa - cast ; I j received a majority.1 la Marlon, where every one knew of bis candidacy, I received a majority, contrary to my) own ex pectation. The same occurred at Old Fort. The truth la, I lost a large num ber of votes Just because he was not known to be a candidate. It ha been th custom? In this dis trict, which 'composed of McDowell. Burke," Caldwell and Alexander, and which ha two ' Senators, to rotate, giving McDowell and Burke each a candidate at one election and Alex ander and Caldwell each a candidate at th next election. According to th custom McDowell and Burke are en titled to name the candidates tnis, year.

HRTAN, DEMOCRACY, HOME BtTLE r 1 '- ' .':''.--' ;'j Tho PeerlcM Believe In a Heap of Government and One-Man (Hi . tmn) Jlule, , '..v4 .'. . , - Washington Post. 'V'-''-i Th art of1 government Is expressed in he term self-government, which may be defined aa horn rule that la t say, that the government shall do nothing for tha cltlxen that the cttl sen can do for himself. There are two Ideas one that government Is evil, the other that It Is bliss. Thomas Jefferson held to th first of these ideas. We do not know of any character In our history who clings more tenaciously to th second idea than William Jennings. Bryan, : If believes In government, and a heap of It; he would allow th dtlsen to do nothing that It Is posatbl for th government to do, and It 1 a fact that th Democracy of Andrew Jackson would not have touched with ah tongs the Democracy ot Mr, Bryan. ,;. Mr. Bryan, will, . not.,, allow the Democracy oi Illinois th blessing of horn rule, but ha Issued orders that the party In the State, of Stephen A. Dugla and William R. Morrison ahall not be represented "4y an In dividual personally offensive to him elf. This Is 'What the 1st Jerry Black called acolonellng. Mr. Bryan la nothing but a private in th rank of th Democratic party. What right ha he to order Roger Sullivan to re- Ign his office In the Damocratlo party? If that did not suggest cruel and Inhuman punishment, we would say that Mr. Sullivan has a much right to forbid Mr. Bryan to make a stump speech as, Mr. Bryan has to order him to resign from the national committee. --.-- ' ! . - Mr. Bryan ha no conception of th fundamental principle of the. Democ racy of Jefferson, Jackson. TUden. which teaches that mon mak money minding their own business. Seven year ago Mr. Bryan went to. Ken tucky, and there ordered th Demo- rratlo Legislature to reverse the Yr dirt the' people had given at . the polls. His mischievous, meddlesome- neas then brought unnumbered woes on that State, and ther tn Demo cratic party Is In dahger. of wreck, mainiy oecause ar. Bryan was not Democrat enough to mind his ' own business. . W ar Impatient to se tha bal ot Democracy Mr. Bryan will unpack , In Nw.Tork, August SO. ' ; H ' gou need Mil?
