FARMyILE, PTT Co, \. G.. Mar 12.-
The people in this section want to see Judge
Fowle nominated for Governor They look
upon him as the strongest and safest man
the party could put forward. with the
possible exception Of Vance. The Repub-
licans say they would rather see the Demo
Gratis nominate any other man than Fowle
We do not doubt the sincerity OF such a
declaration, for Fowle could meet their
best and abiest man and hold the DemOc-
racy Of the State solid and united in sup
port of the Democratic ticket. This much
can not be said with certainty as to other
candidates mentioned. The masses of the
people would give Fowle an active and
enthusiastic support. Under his powerful
and brilliant leadership We would see every
Democrat doing his duty, and in Novem-
Der next great would be the rejoicing over
the splendid victory Won. The people
know him. They regard him as q true,
honest and able man, and would delight
to honor him by their votes. Let the peo-
pie, the masses, speak their choice, and
tO"lc viii be the man 20 lead us in the
coming contest
1t is believed that he has not been fairly
treated by the Democratic party. The
people talk it, and say that some of the
BOSS leaders, PROFESSIONAL politicians,
those perhaps well schooled in the crook
ed policy aud quirks OF State" have more
than once defeated his jlst claims in the
face Of a popular sentiment in his favor.
The people think for themselves and they
are not rs blind as some may think. They
can see little farther than to the end of
their lose.
But Fowle, a true, tried and steadfast
Democrat as be is, has never ''sulked in
his tent" He has ever responded to the
call of his party and done it great and
valuable service. Ever since 1876 he has
been the most meritorious and deserving
man in the Democratic party, and is now
our most available man for Governor
Nominate him and the success of De
Inocracy is assured beyond the possibility
of a doubt.
