To the Democratic Voters of Lafayette

As the press Is tho principal channel

tOr county treasurer Tor this county
have made use of this means to reach
you, and as the candidate for treasurer
from this part of the county has not
made use of this lever, you will hardly
consider it an intrusion If one of his
neighbors, who feels a great interest in
the triumph of true democratic princi-
pies, shall ask your attention 10 some
reasons why you should support him.
His long residence among you, cover
ing a period of thirty-twO years OF
active life as a farmer, is certainly a
sufficient time to find nj what manner
OF man he is, physically, intellectually,
socially and politically. Physically, he
is equal to any requirement OF the
position TO which he aspires. Intellect
ually, he is the peer of any man asking
your suffrage. Socially, none of them
/ are his superior, and politically, not a
man In the entire list can show a better
| record. But some will ask why should
we vote for him in preference 10 othersi
| One reason is that this portion of the
| county has not had an official position,
with an emolnment for several years.
| Another reason is that there is not a
man running against him OF whom it
can be said that his own region OF the
county will as unanimously support as
will this region support him. | believe
it can be safely asserted that the oppo-
sition vote in Odessa will not amount to
| 20 against our candidate. Another,
and a most important reason is that al
over this county a feeling has developed
against II who was county judge.

In fact, 1t is quite common to heal
voters ask the question, "What Office
will j. w. Harrison want nextI" j
is also very common in some parts o
the county, "Tell me the stronges
man for treasurer against j. w. Harri
son and I'll vote for him?"
Let me say to you, democratic voters
the strongest man against d. W. Hafrl
son Is Odessa's candidate, Col. BENZ
Elliott. Run a line south from Lex
ingtOn to the johnson county line an
canvass the vote west of that line L
Jackson county for treasurer and it wi
be demonstrated that Col. BENZ Elliot
will get a greater number of votes, ex

Before laying aside the tariff bill tor
the accommodation of the law makers
who wanted to attend the Chicago
gathering OF president makers, the
house In committee Of the whole had
completed one-half of the free list,
which is one of twenty four sections of
which the bill consists. The bill COW
ers fifty EIGHT pages, and of these only
four had been disposed of. At the
rate of progress that has been main
tanned thus far the bill will still be
pending when the second session Of the
fiftietb congress begins next December
The country has to thank the republi
cans for the slow progress that has thu
far been maintained. Ii has been theil
policy to avoid the appearance of fiji
clustering, and yet to proloDg the pro.
ceeding by resisting everything ant
wasting words oye the most trivia
amendments. Some observers hav,
been charitable enough to express
, hope that after the adjournment of til,
Chicago convention the republicans
would abandon their dilatory pro
gramme and permit some progress t
be made. 1t seems more likely tina
since their course has been approved i
the platform they will go right on wit
the obstruction and continue it unit

time. 1t is for the country to sa
whether 1t approves of this mode {

pleasure in writing a few lines to let
you hear from us. We received our
charter March, 1888, and up to this
writing there are 35 members ON the
roll with three applicants to initiate at
next stated meeting and two more to
act upon. We receive members at
almost every meeting and the brethren
seem to manifest great interest in the
order. Times are Frightening up and
the farmers are being encouraged to
hope for better days. We are trying
to inform ourselves on the various
questions that directly effect the farm,
ers' interest, and 1 think we have &C.
complished some good. The farmers
are nearly done getting in their crops
and find that corn and potatoes are
very good, cotton is cut short at least
one third and rice a perfect failure.
We would advise the farmers to plant
less cotton and more corn, and would
urge the necessity of sowing small
grain, such as oats and rye. We
think that a man with a small farm
can make more by sowing oats in
spring and raising chickens. on it for
market than he can by raising cotton.
