MAnsnAL DILL, ms Doa BBAL AND
DKMI-JoHN.
The democratic party Of Snyder
county had bat recently become .
unit (as was demonstrated last fsll.)
and this largely through the efforts
Of =. 3. Bower, Esq Our intense de-
mocracy and unreasonable desire
for success alone prompt rs in de-
uouncing the methods employed by
Marsnsl Dill and his sstilites, on
Tuesday last, 10 bic efforts to con-
troll the party 10 this county BY de-
bauchery and intimidation.
The facts are A large majority OF
the delegates we're 10 favor of and
instructed for II. z. Bower, ESQ. as
delegate to the State Convention.
Two districts having secen votes
we're not represented, Chapman and
Union. Dill's rhetoric aud demi-
John inspired John G. Kreitzer to
represent aud cast tho four votes oi
Chapman without credential or the
shodow OF authority, and against
the instruction Of the district. II
was 90 easy matter to Inspire fell
low who had not even attended the
election to represent aud cast the
three votes of Uuion without cre-
dentials or authority against instruc~
tions ! Instructed delegates from
other districts we're induced to, fret
get plastic substitute, then sneak
nto q corner, thus disregardiug The
expressed will of their constituents
Nor did it stop here. A gallant
one-legged soldier, holding q petty
little Office, was given to understand
that il would be to his interest no,
to 60 into the convention. Threats
of Matt o o o decentralization dis.
pleasure land meat-axs were freely
indnlgod 10. This is our first lessor
in bull. doing, and the expressed
will OF the Democratic party Of Soy
der county has been completely ov,
erturned and we are virtually told
that We are not capable OF managing
our party affairs, but that Unior
county, and that portion of the Ma
tional Administration located in the
city Of Philadelphia. must come here
and run the party 10 o direction
wholly against our wishes, aud in I
manner distasteful aud humiliating.
The Civil Service law (which pro-
NOTED the election OF Clevelaud) wa,
openly violated and the reform
pledges we made to the county dis.
regarded.
In appealing to you, Democrat
Of Snyder. we have no personal in
torest to serve, but our, unswervina
and life long loyalty to our party
impels us TO ask you. First, are WI
not capable Of managing our ow,
party affairs ? Second, is bull .doz
ing by outsidars to be ipgraited il
our system Of rules aud regulation
Third, will the party hereafter selec
delegates to miS-represent and de
teat its will ?
II this is the lesson we are TO learr
from Marshal Dill & Co.. we shal
profit by it and henceforth prepar,
to meet them on more equal terms.
4. Il. Bower, Esq, always hat
been loyal dem ocrst aud stauncl
supporter Of Cleveland aud his ad
ministrstion, aud for this reason
there was no ground for such un
warrantable conduct. He is manly
intelligent, dignifed, and honors BILE
and hence cannot be used asa tool =
it was said zoe cdnnOt use him toI
our purpose" Whence came thos'
protests from abroad?" II is not
who our representative is, but th,
contemptible mauuer 10 which w
have been treated aud the bad blout
engendered in onr ranks. Demo-
Gratis give this careful consideration
Yours truly iu
DEMOCRACY
