TO The Editors of The Enquirer:
LOUISA COUNTY, Oct. 81.
Messrs. Editors You will pardon me for ask
ing sufficient space in your paper for the insertion
of this communication. In writing il, am ac-
tuated by no vain desire TO see any thing from my
rem before the public but from sincere wish 10
see the principles, which you and advocate, ad-
vanced, and our Legislature composed of reliable
men in times OF need INDUCING my reflections
this afternoon, and anticipating, as many OF US
do, some dissension in our own party, during The
next campaign Tor the county, have thought It
expedient 10 name a gentleman upon whom all
true Democrats can unie-the name OF that
gentleman is Alexander F. Butler, of Louisa
Court House-a name familiar TO every Repub
can in the county, and rendered so by his untiring
zeal in behalf OF our party and principles. The
writer OF This knows Mr. Butler well, and can say
with truth, that ne has never met with any man
more thoroughly Democratic. MIR. b. came 10 the
county OF Louisa some years ago, stranger 10
us all He did MI pause 10 consult his interests,
or 10 elicit the political opinions of Others but al
cnce declared his own and, from ;hatim 10 this,
has adhered 10 them with unsurpassed htelity-
During The canvass If 1910 for the Presidency,
whilst that Tide OF political excitement Was rolling
is onward course prostraing many WHO reslsied
il Mr.. B. was found like the rock breaking The
biow, and bidding defiance 10 lis force
The campaign ended result is known not
only to us, but 10 The world. We rccur 10 II with
no pleasing Renaissance. The e1er.ionS OF Inc
most patriotic were for while raraiyzed; The
slouest hearts were Tor time sicRened bur-
amidst The gloom tina, lowered over our little COM
munity there was one, who, like the fearless pi-
lot at the helm, inspired rs with hope, rsat'was the
voice Of Alexander f. Butler that lifted up des-
bonding hearts, and nerved the arms oil Louis-
ans. again TO do battle in the cause Of DemocTa-
cy. During this period OF doubt, AS 10 The weaI
of our institutions and the fate OF our common
country, Heaven for purposes unknown TO us,
removed all suspense. Next came The campaign
of 1914, time that tried mems faith and "A. r.
Butler was again found at his post ever bearing
aloil the banner of his principles. Though not a
public speaker, he was still efficient His voice,
though mol heard before The multitude, was never
hushed when otherwise needed. This was all
done too, without the wish OF reward. IL was |
the voluntary effusion OF good and true man
The spontaneous oulpouring OF patriots heart. |
The result of that ign is also known. Vic
tory crowned the efforts ufthe Republican party
bringing from every part OF the Union ''the glad |
tdings of great Joy" But MIR. Butler was ne"er
seen 10 vannt at the overthrow Of his political op
ponents. He svmpahsed with them, and endea-
vored 10 show that their best interests would be !
promoted by The result. Finally, he has submit |
ted 10 many sacrifices in order 10 avow his senti-
mcp,s and discharge his duty; and is there one 10
be found who will so far forget the good Of his
country as 10 refuse 10 vote for snch man? |
am sure Mr.. Butler has no desire for political
lfe-but, if properly called upon, think would
consent
lam. moreover, assured, that MIR. B. could not
be induced 10 oppose our present worthy delegate
il he be candidate, nor IS It desired by any OF
us: we are well satisfied; but il Mr.. Gordon be |
not candidate, then, and in that event, we go for
Mr.. Butler. ONE OF MANY.
