DEMOCRACY NOT JUNTAIsM.

The editor of the LEDGER, who
never breathed an honest Democratic
sentiment in his life and in whose
veins does not flow single drop OF
blood, is undertaking to
read lifelong Democrats out OF the
party. This is done, we presume, IN
the interest of harmony. The LED
GERS standard of Democratic fealty
is fttingly illustrated in the conduct
of its friends Mcintosh and Turner.
Iatelligencer.
The editor Of the LEDGER never
drew breath, evolved thought or
cast a vote not Democratic. 1t is
true we are not of the school Of Dem
ocrats who favor NO person for office
or honor who does not belong to
their family, their printing office,
their boarding house, their set or
their ring. The LEDGER reads no
man out of the Democratic party
When we hear men who went into
primaries say they will vote for a Re
publican or negro before they
will for the nominees of the Demo
cratic party because they could no
name the same, we say openly, no
caring how old or what their names
NAV be or how much money the,
,ay have, that they are not Demo
Gratis in any sense of the word. Fur
!ther, we may be allowed to add tina
Tie sneaking politicians who ar
iafraid to come out and take thi
stand, but encourage others and pus
them forward to bear the brunt, ar
wen beneath the contempt of dele
rate who would bolt his instruction:
The LEDGER always has been for tn
ticket, no matter if every man on
represented as many "crows" as Ca
.r will have votes to spare in ne'
November. When the nomination
made we do not ask, Is he a patrc
f ours? Has he money? Is he
ig man? Does he belong to Of
lrcle of friends? etc. This is n
Democracy; it is the opposite. II
voice of the Democratic party is o
law, from which we shall never va
one lot or title, and If this is all t
bad things the Inte1igencer wants
}, say about us we are obliged to hl

The Iatelligencer is now creeping
around to support Carter, after it
finds out the opposition amounts to
nothing. Whether the editor of that
paper or some of his hackers dictated
this policy we are unable to say; we
do know that it has the contempt OF
both the soreheads and the friends OF
the ticket.

In THIS issue of the LEDGER Will be
found a few of the kind words spoken

LEDGER enjoys in the opinion OF all
of its contemporaries, barring one.

PITHY AND POINTED.


We have received the initial NUMBER OF
the Mexico daily LEDGER. Like its pa
rent stem it is abreast of the times. The
paragraphs are pithy and to the point.
The makeup Is excellent and shows the
crafty hand of B. B. Runkle. The print
is clear. We could pile on more recon-
mendations, but we are afraid that Bob
White will think we are fiattering him.
We wish the enterprise success. Oh,
say, Bob, won't you <?

FIRST RANK.
From the Columbia Statesman.

From the Columbia stateshlaII.
The Mexico LEDGER has come out In
an s-column daily. The weekly LEDGER
ts one of the most successful papers In
the State, and it is to be presumed that
the daily LEDGER under the same man
agement will also take front rank at once,
as Bob White is live, energetic, and Is
always found in the front rank in every
thing which he undertakes.

THAT pink of perfection as a Dem
ocrat-S. B. Cook-should not tell
the people of Audrain that "not a
drop of Democratic blood flows IN
Bob Whites veins" He might
startle some one and then, too, he
could spend his time better in hust-
ling himself into line to support the
nominees of the party.

ENERGY AND ENTERPRISE.

J. F. Mounts in Aurora Springs Messenger.
The Mexico LEDGER is now issued
daily. The number before us presents
a neat and healthy appearance, while
its general makeup is characterized by
the same spirit of energy and enterprise
which have heretofore marked the p1b-
lisher's newspaper work. Mexico now
has two daily papers-one too many.
Result-ssuryival of the fittest."

The reply of R. Greed Carter, the

make it SO anyway.

DURING the early part of the cam
paign, before Carter was thought OF,
the LEDGER stated that Audrain-one
of the best counties in the State
'swould be we'll represented in the
next Legislature. To emphasize the
matter we want to relterate this state
ment. Read Carter's reply to the

How unkind, how unlike the spirit

d. L. KINcAIp.


Ed. j. w. Higbee and in q subse-
quent interview he replied as follows:
/. That he never saw Mr.. Gallaher
in his life, nor did he ever write to
him or send him any matter of any
kind in any way. Eld. Kincaid is
mistaken.
2. That while he has written to
different points for information in \
regard to the grave rumors that have
been circulated attacking Ed. Kin
caid's moral character, he did not
originate these charges, nor was he
even the first to speak Of them. 1t
was several months after these
| rumors became rife before he began
investigating them, and when he did
this it was purely from sense Of
duty, as he considered it his place to
protect the Church. He has made
every effort to keep out of the news
papers with this matter and has
always seriously objected to having
these charges and the proofs of the
same published. What he has said
privately was not for the purpose Of
injuring Eld. Kincaid, but for the
: purpose of preventing the Church
. from being injured; for even if these
3 rumors were not true he does moi
, consider it prudent for the Church tt
3 endorse a preacher, and receive hi
