ReOSERnizattsn Of the Democratic.

To the Editor Of the Ledger.
read With pleasure your article in
yesterdays paper which urges the neces-
sity Of recognizing the Democratic.
Conservative party Of Shelby county,
and think it will meet the appreciation of
every reasonable. right-thiaking man
who is hot q Republican. Ihave always
cast my vote for the nominee Of the
Democratic party without respect to the
individual nominated. Have done so
from the fact that it has been through
the organization Of the Democratic party
alone that our people have been freed
from the oppression placed upon them
Ia consequence OF the late war.
The fact exists, however, that
from some cause the organization which
has done so much good has been split to
pieces, and unless your suggestions are
carried out, Shelby county will be re-
turned to the control OF the Radicals. /
have talked with maDy Democrats, both
from the city and country, who give earn.
est assurance Of their desire to act with
the Democratic party in The coming
campaign, but who IS earnestly declare
that they will not unless a new executive
committee be appointed by q mass meet
ing OF Democratic citizens. Continue
to advocate the move which Is the only
one TO save US from defeat. .

between the judge aud attorneys is Of
