a card has been published against me Just on
the eve OF the primary election by a personal
with my party friends, which 1 have been dis
posed to treat with the contempt it deserves, but
some of my friends think that ought to notice
it, although it is too late for my reply to reach
half the voters in the county.
:, The charge is that have failed to vote a full
Democratic ticket at the last election, and the
influence intended but not expressed is that be-
cause saw proper to cut my ticket then have
forfeited all claim to the support of Democrats,
aaltnougn have been all my life an earnest and
pure Democratic principles. Admit It to be true
that cut my ticket in 1883, l did not do it in an
underhand, sneaking way, but openly and above
board and for good and sufficient reasons and
in exercise of my undoubted right to refuse to
vote for men who believed to be unworthy, and
whom was under no obligations to support as
| had not voted at the primaries. Hundreds of
Democrats, including many of those who are now

ferred to has Il am credibly informed) voted re-
peatedly against the nominations of his party.
X. Harris Archer, ex-delegate and candidate
for reelection, voted against the nomination of
his party for the judgeship, and when Stevenson
Archer was candidate for that office against the
regular nomination of convention of the DEM
ocratic party, not only but nearly two thousand
other good Democrats of Hartford county cast
them out of the party for so doing? Why, then,
should be prosecuted for exercising we'll rec
ognized right for which I had good, sufficient
reasons, unnecessary now to discuss and which
| only refrain from stating because am unwil-
ling to throw fire brands into the fire.
This much in reply to the malicious card by
which an enemy has sought to injure me. And
now while have the opportunity take the lib
erty OF stating some OF the grounds on which
respectfully solicit the support of the Democrat
ic voters of Hartford.
In the first place am a lifelong Democrat,
trained in its principles from my earliest youth,
and while have occasionally voted against pre-
tended Democrats in whom Ihave no confidence,
have always been true to the support Of the
principles OF my party and will faithfully stand by
them until the end.
In the next place never was, am not now, and
never will be the tool of any boss ring or faction
of the party. will submit to no dictation and
make no pledges to any man, but II elected will
hold myself free to exercise my best Judgment
In support of both measures and men, seek
ing only the best interest of my constit-
uents, and II elected / will consider it
my especial duty to guard the rights of our peo-
Pile against the Entertainments of corporations
which are ever seeking through their lobby men,

Neal Dow, the advocate of prohibition,
who has used the temperance element of
Maine for years for the benefit of the Repub-
lican party, now declares with indignation
that the cause of prohibition has nothing to
gain from that party and he turns his hopes
to the Democratic party. In recent letter
to the New York Sun he says:
1.-THE overthrow of the rum Republican
dynasty of Maine began in Portland last
spring, and will be followed by general rout
all along the line. We've had enough of it.
