Postmaster General Key is spoken of al
the leader of the conservative democrats In
the south, which is ready to desert the bour'
bons and set up business for itself. Regard.
ing his late letter and his political standing,
Judge Key saya:
1t was made necessary because Of the
cfthe revolutionary action of the democrats.
He thought the better element in the demo-
cratic party were opposed to any such move
ment as was contemplated BY the Potter
resolutions, and it was proper that they
should declare themselves upon it. This he
had done. He hoped others would do so.
but he did not know how far the movement
would extend. There was material for an
administration party ir the south, and he
thought they could elect several congress
men, if they were properly organized. 10
reply to the question as to whether be had
left the democratic party forever he laughed,
and said that scarcely expressed 1t. The
fact was that the democratic party had left
him. 1t had entered upon a movement
which he and many others could not join,
and there was nothing for them to do but
to stay where they were. by the president,
whose past actions they approved, and In
whose future actions they had faith.
