A word to the Democrats OF
Monroe County.

We have a word to say to the Democrats
Of this county in regard to nominating can
didates for county offices, and we prefer to
say it now, when no candidates are before
the people
Ii is this: Let MS hereafter nominate
men for office who are through Democrats
from principle and who show their earnest
ness by working diligently for the party
This does not necessarily mean the most
radical or the most violent, but it does mean
chose who show their faith by their works
We want no more men who will cling to
the party while they can hope to make a
dollar out of it, and then turn traitor to it,
We want no more Judas Iseariots men
who will cling to their Master while he has
loaves and fishes to distribute, but betray
him when he has not where to lay his head
We have had enough such as these. -
Every Democrat in the county knows them
and scorns their base treason to their party
They dcnounce the party that has fed them
for years because it will no longer cram their
greedy throats.
Let us have no more Of them
If we believe our party to be laboring for
the best interests of the country, it Is an act
Of patriotism to work for the promotion OF
men who work torthe promotlonofthe party.
There are plenty of good Democrats; men
who do not skulk when our opponents cal
the party hard Names but who, conscou,
Of the rectitudc of their principles, work
earnestly and diligently like men who know
they are right.
Democrats, bear these things in mind AT
the next and all subsequent conventions -
jYoodyicM Spirit Of DemocrocN
Very sensible talk, Brother WILLIAMS -
Up here in Holmes county we have beel
practcing for years on your suggestion, anC
it is one Of the great secrets Of our success
For one, we are opposed to the nomina
ton ofany man ON Democratic ticket whc
will not show his faith by his works on al
proper occasions.

Amusement.

In the Southwest when the rebels shoot
one Of our men, the federal commander of
the post within whose military jurisdiction
theman was killed selects a rebel from prison
and has him shot to death in retaliation =
II strikes us as more christianlke to capture
and shoot the murderer than to deprive OF
his life man who had nothing to do with
the aflair--the more so, as in return for the
second victim the rebels shoot one of our in
noccnt prisoners in their hands. But this
is othodoy christianity?

Official figures would add to rather than
reduce this estimate, In round numbers,
we have force Of 30o, 600 opposed to rebel
strength of less than 2O00Oo. 1t may be
added that this difference is none too great
to sustain successfully the positions adopted
by the belligerents, that Of offence by the
north and defence by the south.
The limits of newspaper article do not
admit the discussion at one time of all the
points involved in consideration of the
rebel resources aud the probable and natural
duration of their resistance. Having dis
posed of the question of tho numerical
strength of the belligerents, we will defer
the discussion of other considerations Ia
another day. Chicago Times
