CHARGES OF JACKSON MADE THROUGH
THE COLUMNS OF THE BULLETIN, BY A
JACKSON COUNTY CORRESPONDENT.
CAIRO, His June lst, 1880,
Editor Bulletin:
In your issue of this morning | see a
communication from Murphysboro, Illinois
signed jackson The author of this
communication to-wit, jackson, says
Considerable dissatisfaction is felt
throughout the county at the nomination
Of W. A. Lemma, who bolted instructions
at the Cairo judicial convention, and after
ward treacherously opposed and largely
contributed to the defeat Of Judge Craw-
ford Lemma is not the choice Of this
county, but obtaind his endorsement
through frauds perpetrated at Ava and
other precincts. Many Of the best Demo
Gratis of the county, in view of the fact
that Lemma has frequently bolted Demo.
cratic nominations and worked against the
party, will not vote for him if nominated.
For the sake of harmony and the GOOD of
the Democracy II is to be hoped that Alex
ander county will put forth a good man for
state senator and Join with Union county in
nominating him. JACKSON
Mr. Editor, if il be true, as announced
by jackson" that procured my endorse
ment in Jackson county through fraud, and
if it be true that have frequently bolted
Democratic nominations and worked
against the party frankly admit that it is
the duty Of the Democratic party to repu-
diate me. But to a thoughtful, considerable
mind what evidence is there in support Of
the charges | am called upon to
answer, the charges in the main are Of the
most serious character, and if true, are GER
talnly susceptible of proof and if jackson"
has the interest Of the Democracy as ser
ousIy at heart as he pretends he certainly
should no. hesitate to make good his
charges. Mr.. Editor, while can't say that
| know with absolute certainty who Jack
son is yet, have sort of intutivc prcsen-
tment that his true name is +. Il. Albright.
Albright has a private grievance against ne
which he would like very much to have
the Democracy Of Alexander county to re-
dress for him by defeating mt for the SEN
ate, and the only way he can accomplish
my defeat is by getting some man in Alex
anier county to act as his tool. Not con
cent with his failure to defeat me in Jack
son county, first, by opposing me before
TIE people ofthe county, andsecondly, by in.
truding himself upon the county convention
by proxy, and thirdly, by using every means
in his power to secure bolt, he now trans.
terred his fight to Alexander county under
the assumed name OF jackson" and asks
the Democracy of your county to assist him
in the accomplishment Of an act which the
Democrats Of Jackson county absolutely
and Internationally refused to be made
party to. The fraud that Jackson"
alias Albright complains of is
by no means political in its
nature, 1t is purely judicial, and is now
pending and undetermined in the supreme
court Of this state, and reads about thusly
"The People Of the State Of Illinois vs.. f.
+. Albright, motion to strike from the roll
Of attorneys" Since | have been q cand-
date for the senate, was approached by a
friend of Albright'S with u proposition that
i'll would dismiss the proceeding which
had instituted against Albright to dsbar
him, that Albright and his friends would
not oppose me for the senate. refused to
acccde to the proposition. That there is any
disa.iectiou in the Democratic ranks in
Jackson county on account Of my endorse.
meut; or that | resorted to any unfair or
fraudulent practices in order to secure
my endorsement, pronounce unquaifedly
false. and ia order to substantiate my state
