No Democrat has right to attempt to
throw the district into the hands OF Republicans,
nor should he attempt to influence his friends to
do so. The only way in which the Democracy
can win is by preserving harmony along the
surest road to defeat is through dissension and

crat, therefore, who realizes the importance of
union and harmony use his utmost effort TO pro-
mote these and thus insure the victory Waldo

speech in Chipley, to about ten or fifteen DEM
0crats, who went to hear him through courtesy
He was preceded by Mr.. r. III. Fries, young
lawyer Of Pensacola. who, like most young men
on their first legs" dealt more largely in fancy
than in fact. 1t was the opinion Of those pres

coherent remarks, that ii would have been we'll
