From tie Worth Star, .4ag. 4, 1884,
IVA Jackson Congressional District Convention
was held at the Court Honse in this ylago on
"Wednesday last. Isaac Fletcher Esq, IA Royat
.4rch .u@Son, was nominated a Jackson candi-
date, Tor member OF Congress, for this district.
We have no remarks to makeson this nominations
as they have been kindly furnished us by "a Jack.
sonian friend and neighbor, who attended the Con-
vcntion, in the following communication. His
name will be gwen if required.
To the old Republicans Of Tie 5tA Conrressioaal
District.
Beware of Evolves dressed in sleeps clothing -
All the evidence aGduced the republican con |
venton, held at Danville, Caledonia County, the |
30h July, 1884, that Isaac Fletcher Esq. is in f-
vor OF the present administration, was statement |
that he Esq Fletcher, h ad recently written u letter
to Mr. Robbins, editor OF the Vermont Patriot, a |
young man not resident of this State. fl am |
n ot mistaken, Republicans in older times were not
under the necessity of exactug letters, or pledges
from their candidates, to support any particular |
measure, were they under the necessity of cir
culating them, to let their friends know what
their political sentiments were. They were uni
versally known-they feared not declare them
office, favor or emoument were subordinate To
conscientious discharge of political duty Such
measures as the republican party are now pursuing
are dangerous to its stability least in this section
They ought to have manLior representative, who
Is bold enough, and willing to come forward Il let
US know where TO find him, not one who is utterly
destitute of moral courage and political integrity
