I EnIToRs DEMOCRAT: Having Recently
Travelled through great portion of the
Southern and Southeast part Of our
! county, business and acquaintanccs cauS-
: cd Inc t. mngle freely with the masses
! have been at some pains to ascertain
! thor f., lngS and opinions in relation to
! the conduct Of Mr. BrOdcrick III his iac-
tiJuS opposition t. Mr.. Buchanan, our
Old chief and champion. Go where you
will, talk to whom you please, the same
feelings are cntcrtaincd-thc same opin'
ions expressed. and there is no hiding be-
hind the curtains to give them utterancc.
| With one voice they condemn Brodcrick.
Thcy ask. what has Mr.. Buchanan done
that Mr.. BrOderick is so enraged at: Is
hr not good Democrat: Does he not
stand OIL the National Platform! Has he
appointed Know Nothings or Black Re-
pub.iranS to office? Has he removed
Brodcrick's friends, or exhibited the
least enmity towards him! Nothing Of
the kind. lie would not permit Brodcr-
lex To- dictate to him, and for this reason
alone he denounced Democratic Prcsi-
dent.
His turning against Democratic Adj
mini>trGtion is only i'll accordance with
his early teachings. In 1913 the great
cllitis OF Tammany tactics, the Van Bu-
rrnS and Buffers, turned against and de-
f'atcd that noble old patriot and states
rian, Gen. Cass; and now pupil of the
same school has drrhtrfd rdr against an
other Democratic patriot, James Buchan-
an. They had been rewarded by the
Democratic party, and 50 has he they
turned against it to be rcvcngcd on Gen.
Ca>S for some fancied wrong,--he has
commenced a fierce war against Mr.. Bu-
chanan for the same reason. 1t is unnc
ces>ary to continue the parallel.
Ills instruments are working it finely
to carry our county convention. The big
chiefs, and you have a great many ofthem
in your city, for they all imagine them
selves such, find out who is likely to be a
-de.eGat-- to thc-c0unt. .cnnXenlion,- and
inducements are Immediately held out to
become candidate for SONIC office, and
their influence is promised him, provided
he will 20 for their friends and assist to
stnl Il clean Delegation to the State Con.
vcnti0n. When they cannot get pre-
cinct, they import one OF their tools into
it, and teach him to yell loudeSt against
them, TO inspire confidence in his Sinccri-
ty. The only adhercnts that Broderick
has in the South and Southeast part of
this county, with few honorable excep-
tons, are men Of this character. Some
Of them have been rcpudiatcd by Central
Conmi!tecs, others by Conventions, and
AL by the people. Some Of that immac-
uia;c clique have been circulating all
kinds Of rcports.against the Junior of the
UcmOrrut, but their vile plots fall harm
less to the ground. The Democracy know
and appreciate his worth and they also
know his base traducerS, who stab and
smile at the same moment l have some
rich developments to make Of their recent
purchases, and some of them not far from
your city; but rs both buyer and seller
have been sold it is U. X.
1t appears to ME from all that can
learn that the Hon. John Is. Weller is the
choice ofthe Democracy, in fact he is the
only man wanted at this time by our
party in old FL Dorado, for GOVERNOR
Ninc-tcnths Of the Democracy arc for him
up here.
AN OLD LINER.
