Farmer and Nechdaic:


Dear Farmer and Nechaaic.
| presume you are willing to hear from
any Of your friends from this Mountain
country. If you or your readers will travel
through all the West, you will ascertain that
the voice of the people are for Jarvis and
the entire bodyof State Officers. We do not
think a more popular ticket or stronger for
the democratic party can be selected. |
know there are croakers who want office
themselves, or for son John, Nephew Tom,
or Cousin Dick, as the case may be, who will
write, talk, and say anything TO carry a point
| am sure the majority of your readers /;
sufficient to detect the solution of some state
ments already made and much that will be
said.
Jarvis and the present incumbents Is em
phatically the desire Of the uaseJfsh portion
of the West. TRUTHFUL JOHN.
