Major }. w. Green, of Culpepcr, the
John Kelley of the democratic party of
Culpcper {. H., will, | understand, be Il
candidate for Congress in opposition TO the
Hon. John S. Barbour, because the said J.
W. Green was turned out of Il lucrative DO
sition he held as counsel for the Y. Nj. r.
W., and John S. Barbour allowed to hold
one as President. Oh, Johnny, you monop-
olist You must resign the Presidency,
and that p. d. Il. If you don't. the great
big dual government candidate, the father
otthe low tax association and the Chinese
puzzle, will have to 60 for you, and then
you will be in a devil of predicament.
True Blue will go for you through the
anti-monopoly papers and Dick Farr upon
the hastings. But why can't the John kcl-
ley OF the party, toe-nail Dickic and True
Blue mite i'll Il common cause, and all
hands go for this great big dual government.
low tax association, anti-monoDoly Regain
bill candidate, and sweep the Hon. John S.
clean off the face of Gods green earth =
They can do it, and the sooner it is done
the better it will be for Mr.. Green, and no
one else. Mr.. Green's hair has been falling
out ever since he lost his position on the V.
NJ. K. W., but it does seem to me that it is
rather cruel and spitcful in the gentleman
to want to jerk Mr. Barbour bald-headed
merely because he has been scalped and as
for his attempting to produce discord in the
democratic party of this district on that ac-
count, he will find that any such attempt
will be scorned by the party and will fall as
flat as many other cranky schemes Of the
gentlemar's. The fact is, Mr.. Green would
like to rule, and if he can't, why, then,
ruin; but whilst he has the size, he lacks
the capacity to do either, so nothing nav
be feared from him through a paper sup
posed to be democratic and patronized by
the democrats of Culpeper county Mr..
Barbour will not resign his position as Pres
dent of the V. NJ. r. W. at the bidding of
James w. Green, and if he could be induced
to do SO, through that influence alone, he
would not get fifty votes in The county OF
Culpcper; Dick Farr would be elected to
Congress and he be left out in the cold.
Mr.. Green was in Alexandria at the con-
vention that nominated the Hon. John s,
Barbour | was there also. | passed free.
so says True Blue" and Mr.. Green paid
his way. Well, suppose he did .how often
has he been passed free and his family also,
and not one word said against il. But times
change and people with them. Mr.. Green.
when he was passing free, was carving in
his vest pocket nice little salary paid him
By said road, and when he went to the
last Alexandria convention he carried in a
knapsack Il big lot of resolutions and plat
form big enough for ten couples TO dance
the racquet on, which he expected to have
offered and passed; but, to his great surprise,
het found no one to offer them, and all opposed
to them, and Mr.. Barbour was, as he should
have been, nominated as the democratic
candidate to run upon the Hancock plat
form, which every nominee in the State is
running upon, which is as sound and as good
as any that might be gotten up by Mr.. Green.
Let Mr.. Green run upon his own platform,
if he wishes TO do SO, and let Dick Farr
withdraw, and am satisfied Dick will do
so, i'll the interest Of Jno. Wise, and Mr..
Green, and then Mr.: Green can have the
pleasure of testing his popularity and
the strength Of his new-langled IDEAS
John ). Barbour was n mighty nice man
when the Major rode free on the steam en-
CINE; but now that he pays he wants the
bullgne bursted, and no one on II railroad by
him can be trusted
DEMOCRAT.
