Ncssrs Edttors:-As the time for our
Congressional election is fast approach
ing. it behooves every good democrat and
law-abiding citizen in this dis,ric,to look
around and see where he can n,ale vote
Tor the white mans candidate. and to
make every effort in his power to .lect the
den ocra,ic candidate and thereby wipe
out our defeat of two years ap. DR..
Henkle stands fairly aud squarey before
the people as the White Supremacy Cam
dida'c. opposed to the CiviTeRi.hts Bill
and social equality. IIe is an old line -.
States Right. Low Tariff Democrat. He
says tina: white men established this gov
crnmcnt and that they have tie riyh. TO
rule it. and he does not hesitate to tell the
people SO in his speeches. whose beauty
| is cqualed only by tlIrir force and bril-.
liancy. The Doctor is evidently at home
lH the political arena--is thorough mas
ter OF the subjects claiming discussion in
this canvass. and isa most fluent and
graceful speaker. He speaks in plain
language. so that the most ignorant can
understand and take IN his meaning. Our
standard-bearcr is. aud always has been,
consistent democrat, and not like his op.
poneht shifting like wea,hcr-cock with
every poiiiicsl breeze that promises to
blow him al honor. A few years ago
Mr., Hagner run as the Know Nothing
candidate for Congress and was defeated
by the Democrats. and | think that he
will now share the same fate as the black
mans candidate. The white people are
unit on the White Supremacy question
IN this county, with few exceptions
(here are few nopgrels that whistle the
..ihor i""~N -
Tue C.vl! Rights Bill too is bitter pill.
and will drive i good many of the white
Republicans TO our candilarc Mr. IIag..
ner, the Radical nominee. i. ", II known
through Cut the distric. as a slippery poll
tician, aud not so welded 10 his convic-
tons rs to allow them to stand in the way
Of his own preferment. and whose poli.i-
cal career SD tar has been remarkable for
the case with which he has accommoda-
ted his principles TO what he has cons:d-
cred a, the time the best show for all Of
fee. Dr. lleukle is the man for the
times, and the honor and interests of the
district will be safe in his keeping. Let
US all then rally to his support. and BY
one vigorous effort redeem this district
from Radical rule.
| took trip through the Back
Woods last Saturday. and was pleasant
ly surprised TO find tia, all the citizens
were White Supremacy men. and that the
ncighborhcod would vote en- n,asse for DR..
Hcnkle. In the evening called at "iill
Top" to see my old friend and hear the
news. lie always keeps good supply
on hand which he reiails out for the ben
eft of his friends. When | arri-ed |
found quite a large crowd assembled,
Court was in session. with Judge Hurry
on the bench. trying a case of petty lar
ceny. One Owens charged another Ow-
ems with stealing his sweet potatoes
prisoner discharged for wan. If proof.
he had the same man arrested the day
before and held to bail to keep the peace
After Court adjourned they ran foot races
the rest of the evening for blackberry. aud
| think shey all got ''gcnteel suficicn-
cy."
