LETTER FROM MR.. WARNER TO THE
s'DEMoCRAT."
Ed. DEMOCRAT When a great wrong has
been done in public affairs, it is the duty of
every good citizen to expose the wrong doer
and'help repair the wrong done.
When, then, political tricksters, dema-
gogues, crafty schemers, undertake TO over
ride and neutraliZe the wishes of such body
OF people as the Republicans of this district,
as TO who shall be their representative, it is
proper and necessary to arise in your strength
and manly independence and rebuke such in
sultlng impudence.
Now we aver that A. A. Bennett had ma
llcious motives in trying to crush out the nom
ination of Mr.. Cribs for he (GrifTis) did
not support the said Bennett for Senator
therefore he must be paid off in like curren-
cy, and his friend ]. B. Cory. who did all the
dirty work he could for Bennett, must be the
nominee-as the political Mogul dictated to
the district last year, we must submit TO his
further dictation this year. No, Mr.. den
nett and your tail piece satellites, we do not
propose to submit to your Ike swindling
Ring.
When one OF your active assistants SAYS 10
delegate: 81 have note on you for collec-
ton, and am told you calculated 10 vote for
Grifiis, now if you will vote for Cory you
can have your own time to pay it, | will not
urge you for payment-but if you vote in this
convention for Griffis | shall expect the mon
ey on the note Immediately" the man violated
his instructions. defrauded the people OF his
town and voted for Cory. When Mr.. Money
Bags dictates for whom you shall or shall not
vote, then IS there an end Of your independ-
ence, liberty, aud freedom II is worse in its
results than for DR.. Cory to vote two votes
for himself, as he evidently did in the conyen-
ton.
hen again, all ye Good Templars and our
Methodist brethren, what say you 10 such n.y.
pocracy as the spiking of saloons to promote
the Doctors cause "Come in Bill, come in
boys, and take something to drink" ono"
says Bill, 81 don't drink " "Come in and
take something, Cory pays for this liquor
Come along, take some beer; take cigar
| Cory foots the bill.v Now DR.. Cory NAV
deny contracting with the saloon man 10 pay
the bill, but his political trcllster friends evil
IDENTIFY did, end that eventually J. B. Cory will
| pay that saloon bill, we have no doubt ]. b.
| Cory is known in this town Of Patch Grove
as great advocate of total suppression of beer
and liquor drinking, and favors the most strin-
gent protibitory laws; and yet will so stulify
| himself as to resort 10 these "DIRTY, VILE
PLACES" as he calls them, for aid in carrying
out his villainously gotten nomination. Eel.
| ~" CliLehs can you trust sucn man 10 reg
islate for you?
| Again, when DIR. j. B. Cory will fagranuy
and maliciousy abuse the trust reposed in hin
as Sunday school teacher, by teaching false
hoods to little children and teaching them tina
certain of their parents are wicked, inmora
and bad members of society; thereby arrayine
| child against parent, inducing the child tC
hold the parent in contemplate because tha
| parent differs with j. b. Cory m religion.
! opinious-we ask, can you trust such a bigo
with the very responsible duties of legislator:
Now allow us TO say, that we want ius
such straightforward, industrious and honor
able men as j. ii. Gritfis, of Little Grant, OF
| Mccoy, of Beetown, or some like parsonage
who has an interest in common with us as
laboring, producing citizen, who is opposed t.
class legislation and all kinds of monopol,
schemes for the building up the few at the ex
| pense Of the many.
/ Will you, producing laboring voter, look t
and guard your own interest if so, then cleo
intelligent, honorable men 10 care for that in
terest, and elect demagogue tricksters to sta
at home.
Yours for the good and true man ever
| time. j. WARNER
