EDITOR CITIZEN: Within the las. week I have noticed my name frequent ly m your paper iu connection with focal political matters. You have seen fit to define my position in politics to be the same as that of Ben. Butler and John Kelly. You also inform your readers that l was read out of tue Democratic party on last Saturday evening when the Cleveland aud Hendricks club was or ganized. You have either been mIsin formed as tO my position or have reached conclusions inconsistent with correct pre emIseS. {. Inn Kelly, supports Cleye 1 laud * Hendricks. Ben. Butler has ac- cep;ed the nomination of several parties Is making ihe race for the Pres dency. aud ,s, of c,uIse, out of the Democratic | party.

Mr. Strau-s' ac. ton m thus creating dISsrnsIon in the | Democratic party. when there Is not the east reasOn for IL. may be accounted for a. n nIasterly stroke Of that pOllt cal a. gacIty Nhi,h Is presumed tO attach tU those who ave drunk deep in tue pO- Itical Rell Of the Bu leTian school, or rhr satisfac lon Uf prIyate grief TOT his l indIcim nt by the last grdnd jury, Hii e. -Ome Of the prominent Inc mt CTS Uf tht | 1IaysrS' OrsanizHtiOn We're members of that Jury. A political club may pre- scribe qualifications for its own m-m berr, but It hHs no power to prescribe qualifications for a Democrat not member Of it. IL cannot read anybOd, cut Oi any party. l am q Democrat, and propose tO T, man one.
 My att-nti, n k called tO an article in the morning paper, m which the Cltl
 Zeus and Tax a!err' organization l- re- ferr.d C.. as ''calculatrd to array capital agsin-i labor The article referred to c.early shows that ihe writer i- totally ignorant of the principles and obj. Of ihe CiIizeus' anu taxpayers orgrnIz tIon, or wiifully mIsrepIeSents II. I caLnJt account f snch perverslty or stuUIdity. excepting on the hypothesis that the writer is prone to part things m the middle.
