Haynes on Pond.

Col. Pond, delivered near this place few
weeks ago. Belt known that Mr. Haynes made
this perora:icn at "Dog River Church, ''whcre
they have quit taking in the terrible X. Ms
on the 18th Sept last. We have great respect
for Mr.. Haynes as a man, but to- use his own
language, his political principles, etc, are fair
game"
In the outset he seems to dif1r with Co.
Pond in reference to the old party issues, and
claims more credit for the Democratic party
than he thinks Col Pond allows. In ref renee
to this. it matters title. Old Whios still, of
course, look back upor their former course be-
fore the srttl ment of the differences b tween
the parties with pride. The same is the case
with Democrats; but that du, credit was given
hy Co. Pond to both parties, for the good thu y
had effected, it seems 10 us every candid man
who heard that speech must admit
With reference to thu iSsne (nub ic improve
ments) not yet settled, Mr.. Haynes vii GER
tainly admit that it i, no longer an issue he
tween the Democratic and Wing party, as tn
latter not now in existence, and consequent
" the D mocratic party can certainly gain the
day as none dispute the right. Mr. Haynes is
very much afri that the feelings of the old
grey-head Wings would he hurt, and why is it?
We think we can guess. It's because so many
honest Democrats have left the company of the
old party that has long since ceased to hattie
for principles, and only waged re'ent'eSs war
against all who opposed then, in their forts to
obtaia the Spots; and now they arc trying in
self-defcncc TO prejudice the honest Wings
against the Am lean party that they may gain
their cooperation in still retaining over
We suppose our friend Haynes is taking up
the cause of Mr.. Davidson, when attempt 6
to ~ flute the arguments Of Col. Pond Let us
see what Mr.. Davidson s"A il regard to cor
ruption of parties and foreign influence in the
address he signed in 1911:
"IF THE REAL STATE OF THE CASE COULD RE
AsCERTAINED, IT WOULD RE FOUND THAT HALF
THE ELECTIONS IN THE UNION ARE GOVERNED EY
FOREIGN VOTERS, HOLDING THE BALANCE OF
POWER IN THE vARIo,s STATES, AND VOTING AS
THE MACHlNA7IoNs OF THOSE WHO coNrEeI. THEM
MAY DIRECT ATTHE LATE PRESIDENTIAL.

FOR CFFICE WERE COMPELLED TO
CRAWL IN THE DUST At TIE FEET or
FOREIGN VAGAEoNDS, WHO HAVE ST.
CURED ALMOST UNLIMITED POWER
OVER THE BALLOT BONES"
This appears to us, though we cannot Claim
much legal tact to make out a case that mig,t
he entitled, Haynes vs.. navi 'sor, or IRE rersa:
In other parts of Mr. navi.lson's adlr s.. W,

paying our national debt, for h,i'd'nr cur ci-

Mr.. DaNi lson ought not to have denied this.
TIc ought to have been glad that can1i,lttes
for Office were compelled to "craw' i, the tlngt
at the feet of these benefactors Of our suffer
ing country.
Mr. Haynes deserves much credit Cor infor-
ming the American people Of their ind, htpd-
ness to for, igners, and it is but reasonable to
expect that should his party g4i, the day in
the coming national contest, that he will i'm
press upon the office giving power, the necrs-
Si.y ofrewarling these noble ben, factors with
the fat offices at thei' disposal. OF course.
Dog River Church will come in for its share.
As we are Indebted to thcm for all orr bless.

the favors in our power. Why is it hat fo
.ignerS were excluded from the State ticket Of
the anti. American Party. WHY was i, that
the party in this parish thonght that only the
lowest Office on the pari h ticket should b
awarded to a foreigner? Most noble generosity.
Most magnanmous gratitude. On. of fourteen
canIi !ates Oh the antics ticket, one is an lol-
ted citizen, and he is rum ny for CORONER
/ If NJ. Haynes is SO al!X;ous that foreigners
should share the sroi's, Why did he vote for

when i, is an ayoxed pri X, lie wi h II latter

are erroneous, the argln,e IS without fnlntla

Mr.. Haynes asks, "does not Col Pond know
that the permitting for> igntrs, not natuyalized
to vote in the territories, is a oii al uccessi

made the inquiry Of him. There is one hi ,
