To the Editor of THE REPUBLICAN.
Probably line from this quarter might be of
interest," as we are about organizing our forces for
the coming campaign. The recent utterances of
the Democratic State convention have made us
some votes, and the stand the Bourbon press has
taken on the proposed national education bill,
has given us splendid text to show the people
that the Bourbons oppose their education. have
now on my books the names of l73 old comrades
in arms who will stand TO the rock fodder or no
fodder, and every day brings others. The ex-
rebel priyates are getting awakened, and we will
have no milk and-water campaign this time.
We will put men at the polls who have sinelt
powder, and who will see fair count or know
the reason why.
They VIII find that they have no ignorant poll
holders to frtghten this time. Although l went
in the confederate states army at 49, was wounded
at Gettysburg, and surrendered at Appomattox
as soon as advocated the Liberal move and WAS
made chairman of the County and Judicial Com
mitiees, they made war on me. They took their
business out of my hands and used every means
10 coerce me into remaining quiet. We nro going
TO give them fight. They are desperate and we
have the backbone 10 stand up for our right TO
vote as We ft, and will never surrender ii only
with our lives; SO somebody must back down. !
have addressed a personal letter to the men af
my old command and their response is very
favorable; they begin to see into the Bourbon
plans. j write this hastily after reading your
paper. have not time TO go into details, but am
at your service should you require any informa-
tlon from this section. Yours truly,
