We find the following very handsome reminis-
cence of the merry days of 1910, says the Rich
mond Wing. going the rounds Of the press. II Is
from the prolific Wing pen of Henry \. Wise.
who has made more speeches and written more
letters denanciatory of Democratic men and
measures. than any hundred gentlemen in the
United States. This same individual Is now the
Democratic candidate for Governor of the State
having been placed the heads of all the odd
liners" by the india ,trous efforts and adrnit d.
plomacv Of the leaders of the Richmond Junto.
We verify believe the ETamiHer was right when
it declared 50 emphatically. that the nomination
of Wise would absolye old Democrats from any
obligation 10 support him on party grounds
Having been 50 long and 80 much Of Wing,
are unable to understand how any Democrat in
the state can consider himself under any "obliga-
ton" to vote for Henry A Wi-e. Let them all
read the following letter Of & then say wheth-
err their admiration Of or confidence in hi, Demo
cracy has been much increased by the pcrusal.
This letter was first published in the Montgomery
(AlaA Journal in l540-s " mig campaign paper,
then printed in TINT city. and named.from a sug-
eestion Of Wise himself, The Light of the Log
Cabin
WAsHINGroN CITY, Juno -, 1910.
GENTLEMEN: 1t is impossible for me to accept
your hattering invitation. IN behalf of the Wings
of Montgomery, Alabama, To attend their celehra-
ton of the anniversary IT our national indrpen-
dence; but you will please say TO them for me, that
glory in their zealand will he with them without
being there. Wherever Log Cabin is built in
the South there would think hid right to en-
ter as into a sanctuary. There would expect
10 find free men aud VIII plesome fare, health and
bearts-honest hearts, not corrupted by wealth
and station, pride and place of pampered office
holders and their dependents and parasites
and there | woIld expect to meet fellow freeman
who will vote for William Henry Harrison, the
poor but honest man, whose humble life is scoffed
at by the pets of Power, against corrupt and
lawless Lristocraey. which thinks to plumber un-
molested, and to enjoy the spuls of the people
der the guise ct Democracy. The prospects of
the Democratic Republican Wing cause are
Frightening everywhere, and the beacon lights of
reform shine from every CABIN window. They
are to me like the light which shines so bright and
full of hope. to the cold and hungry traveller in
dark night, from the big back log blazing in the
chimney place of some mountain Cabin. For sey.
en- years | have been waiting and wandering in
darkness 10 see this blaze--ch how cheerful =
how il warns the patriots heart aud braces his
nerves God bless every man that burns wood in
ever happy and free give you toast--"Fhc
Light ofthe Log Cabin" and am gentlemen,y yours
sincerely,
HlzRY A. WISE.
