something else. You all know some
thing about the Brothers Of Freedom
and theirsticket, and are probably
aware that have an opponent there.
That best, that wisest. that grandest
Roman or all, James S. Linzy, is
standing in open rebellion to the
cause he espoused, and is trying to
tear down the walls he helped build.
He has mad fair warning TO be here
to day and discuss the issues Of the
day to the enlightened voting mass
es OF Pope county. But lie is won
derfnllys carce.I have no war to make
on any one that iavors the move.
This is free country, and everyone
has right to vote for whom he pleas
es, and | have no right by vitupera-
ton and abuse to coerce any one to
my way Of thinking. / believe the
principles of democracy are right,
and intend to defend them, and if
by any means we are defeated want
no CORY locks shook at me. believe
in government "of the people, by
the people and for the people" |
believe in constitutional govern
ment, and do not believe in the re-
publican government We have. had
for the past twenty years. ! do not
sanction this GENERALIZATION OF power,
nor the iniqultous high protective
tariff. The republican party from
the hanging OF the woman, Mrs. Sur.
raft, to the present day is marked by
duplicity and fraud. The democrat
ic party has given US all the reform
we have. Then what does this in
dependent move promise? We stand
to-day right on the full fruition Of a
peaceful government. From 1874 to
the present time we have had peace
and good government notwithstand-
ing the odious heritage left us by
our predecessors. The leaders of
this move claim they intend to vote
for democrat. Now / believe in
that, but In Gods name let them vote
for one who is democrat in faith
and truth. Iclaim that Linzy is in
competent to fill the office. He is
known as chronic Office seeker
Look at his devious course to obtain
the nomination. In the democratic
township convention he was made
chairman, and from there this de-
fender of the faith goes to the county
convention, and there, from The
depths of his patriotic soul he ad
yised the democrats. But from here
lie goes, not like the appalling cy-
clone that spreads desolation and
destruction in it's path, but silently
he wends his way. In the mean
time he meets that slickest Of all the
sly wizards that ever trod the woods,
Walt Brashear, who offers him the
County Judges Office on the B. of +.
ticket. Well. he reflects and studies
and concludes that company would
suit him the best, so he inslnnates
himself on the Mt. EnoD convention
and by his own devious ways secured
the nomination. Then he goes back
home. Well he had never Joined the
L. of f., so he puts off across the
waters to Joseph and Benjamin,
where all the good people live, and
there goes through the solemn rites,
and 0, what white winged seraph,
what messenger Of peace he had
to carry him through. His course

and beasts went TO war, and 1T was
fearful hot and the result was very
doubtful. The bat seeing he had
wings fought bravely among the
birds until they were about to be de-
feated, when he aops over on the
other side. They goad him little
and tell him he is out of place, but
he shows them his legs and then
they see he is all right. The scales
are about to turn again, and over
goes our bat to the other side, so on
adlnfnitum. That is the way of my
man, the "Political Bat" They all
detest him because he is such turn
coat. Early piety, goodness, and
moral depravity has totally ruined
him.
Mr.. Bradley then took up his Of
fetal record and showed conclusively
that he was incompetent for County
Judge.
A. NJ. GIBsoN's SPEECH.
Friends and fellow citizens:
am candidate for the position
of County and Probate Judge. sub
ject to the primary election. come.
before you not making any war on
Judge Bradley, but running on my
own merits. think it would be an
insult to attack his personal charac
ter for the sake OF office. / run for
this office once before, but did not
have the honor OF being nominated.
Now in respect TO Judge Bradley's
allusion that am ehe vaccine with
which he is to be vaccinated, and
being the tool of others, deny the
charge. ! am before you on my own
merits and qualifications, and if you
think Judge Bradley is better quail
fed, and he suits you better, why
vote for him. But gentlemen, if you
nominate me on the 10th day OF
August, and / am elected, will dis
charge the duties of the office to the
