waste paper &c.
Whether correctly or not. 1 viewed
the action Of this meeting, so far rs
it related to myself, rs Il disposition
to place this minority sentiment on
record, and l felt perfectly satisfied
with the result.
The meeting on the night alluded
to was one Of the most enthusiastic
pleasant and harmonious Of the cam.
paign, and everybody went home in
excel1rnt spirits, congratulating each
other OH the results attained.
Why then such personalities and
bitterness on the part of one who nc
krowledgcs himself to be an outsider.
Away with such intolerance, and
by free fair and friendly discussion
bring that purity to the party which
alone can secure genuine harmony
and ultimate success
Difference and consideration to
cach others views within the party
ines, hut unity and the touch of the
elbow before the common enemy
should be the sentiment of every true
Democrat.
And such will be the sentiment
which will bring victory along the
whole line in the coming struggle for
good government.
