TO THE PUBLIC.
A Final Word as TO the War on
Democrats.

The Avalanche of November 4,
in referring to the article signed
Southern Democrat" says lit wss
considered a SATIRE" and would in
duce the public to believe that at the
time it appeared it produced no
indignation. This | believe is in
keeping with its usual very prominent
and known course of saying a great
deal that it does not mean and leaving
unsaid great deal which shoul d
necessarily be said in order to truly
inform the public.
1t has been reported that L. B.
Eaton, Southern Democrat with other
men OF his political views (the editor
ineluded) owns the Avalanche, or in
other words that is pretended Dem
Ocratic paper with Republican editors
and owners, and that this is the cause
OF the refusal Of Mr.. Nichols to give
the name Of the author of Southern
Democrat"
Mr.. Krekel said this article had
been attributed to him, and done him
great Injury in his business. Who
knows better than he? But see how
the people felt, as expressed. In the
Avalanche, of July 18th, 1880, on the
first page, appeared the following as
An editorial:
"As there seems to be consider
able public interest felt in regard to
the authorship OF an article signed
Southern Democrat, published in the
Avalanche Of Sunday, it will do no
one any particulsr harm to state that
the article was brought to the Ava
lanche Office by Mr.. Theodore Kreke
a prominent local politician and re-
spOnsible man.
ut must be confessed that we did
not place the literal meaning upon the
article that has been placed upon it by
the public"
And now let an impartial public
judge Of the truth OF Mr.. Nichols
statements, and of his Democracy.
By order of Committe.

That this is the most important

That if the people should remain

That all the Irish will vote the

That the Avalanche catechises,

That the business community has |
no respect for a journal that would |

That the Avalanche is and always

That there are good men in all par
ties, but the good ones never sail under
false colors, as the Old Man of the
Avalanche does.
That the Avalanche never speaks in
praise OF Shaw, except when Shaw is
on the side of Southern Democrat.
That as long as Shaw and his friends
permitted Southern Democrat" to
play boss they we're good boys, accord
ing to the Avalanche, but naughty
fellows when they set up to think for
themselves.
That the bosses will never again
drive the colored voters to the polls
in body, but that hereafter they will |
exercise the divine right of thinking
for themselves.
That all intelligent colored men
laugh at the man who talks about
slavery, and think him either knave
or fool.
That as intelligence dawns on the
colored voter the sky blue of the Old
Man OF the Avalanche gets bluer and
the Democracy of L. B. Eaton more
Southern.
That those wanting to see the friends
of Isham G. Harris tomorrow will
have to call at the polls.
That the young men will be out in
force tomorrow working for the Por-
ter ticket.
That our colored allies are keeping
faith and will continue to do SO on

The Democrats and low tax Repub-
licans argue on principle. They
united for this contest on the plat
form of 50-3. They came together
because they were of one mind on this
vital question of the canvass. This
union on principle is shocking to the
refined sensibilities of the sky blues;
it shocks their high moral sense of
right for Democrats and Republicans
to affiliate on principle, provided such
union helps the Democratic party,
and this is peculiarly so with the
Memphis Avalanche. Yet it is
deemed a high privilege and sncred
duty for the sky blues to do the same
thing in Montgomery and Maury
and many other counties, andtO labor
in vain to do 50 in Seelby county.
And not content with this
they have made a similar alliance in
Gibson and Hickman counties with
two of the worst reputation candi-
dates in the State, to wit: Cauffman
and Nixon. There is something be-
hind all this cry for State honor. II
is the disguise of the railroad en-
ployes, and disappointed Office seekers
Howell Il. Jackson is an exception
but then you know ROderick Random
Butler nominated and made jackson
United States Senator. jackson is
man full Of gratitude, and he is no7
paying debts to Butler aud the Repub
lican party, and he is doing his par
nobly.
