Some Inside Facts About That Caucus.
Some Of the gentlemen instrument
tai la working up the caucus at the
late convention are disposed to In
slst that the question was settled har-
moniously and the matter forgotten,
and therefore the LEAF-CHRoNICLE
should quit talking about it. We
believe in letting by-gones be by
cones, but having the promise of
another effort Of "a similar character
when the opportunity offers, we be-
lleve II to be for the good and future
harmony Of the party In Montgom-
cry county that the Democracy
should understand fully how such
unexpected and uncalled-for proceed
ings were brought about and the OBJ.
Ject desired, and then Democrats
with eyes open may be more eau
tlons wheelers not so easily taken
Into tricky schemes and the hsr-
m0Dy Of the party and the unity Of
Che wheel organization better pre-
served.
The GAINESVILLE Democrat has
labored very earnestly in two issues
to explain the action of the caucus
and the convention and TO show that
the points desired by the kickers
were all carried. It Is now posing
AZ the champion of the wheeler's
cause and affects to be all that is pure
and good in politics and far, above
guile. Its efforts are TO prejudice the
farming class against other classes in
the Democratic party. 1t has tried
since the convention to make the
wheelers and all other readers be-
lleve that the resolutions to depose
the present executive committee
were originated by the wheelers, In
the wheel, and for the wheel sSld grew
to manhood between the pillow ham
dies and was for the sole purpose of
setting aside the town machine, and
that the urgent necessity justified
such usurpatlOn ofauthority.
IL happens that there arc or s
town gentlemen on the Executive
Committee, which number the dis
trict Is entitled to and the balance
are some % farmers and wheelers
from the county. This Ia the ma
chine that was to be Disposed by the |
newly constituted machine.
There are some machines in the
country that the town people don't |
understand and some machines in |
town which the country people do
not comprehend. 1t takes very
hungry lawyer to distinguish a sau-
sage mill from corn shelter.
And then there are not many
country people who know type
writer from a music-box.
II is generally known that Judge
Tyler owns the Democrat and writes
It's editorials and we call upon the
Democrat to tell its readers who was
instrumental in calling the caucus
how ii happened that he was invited
90 attend that caucus, where there
were such excellent members Of the
wheel as G. =. Warfeld, Orator John
Allen and Others to represent the
town district? IL he did not know
the day before the convention that
he would be invited to attend ? If he
did not prepare the resolutions to de-
pose the Executive Committee on
his typewriter the night before,
which he keeps at his residence? II
he did not read or have read to the
caucus the resolutions as printed on
his typewriter. If it was not
understood that Geo. Barbee
was To- father the resolutions &?
II he did not have a certain gentle
man TO copy the resolutions on COM
mon note paper to make them APP
pear countryfied, as if freshly dug
out ola corn hill
These are all very plain, simple
questions which the Democracy and
the wheeler brethren would like for
Judge Tyler's organ to answer, and
IL there j. any reason or excuse what
ever why that journal can't publish
his answer, the LEAF-CHRoNICLE {
will gladly furnish the space for it,
whether II comes in "high larnt"
type. writing or in every plain,
countryhed chirography. .
These questions may appear very Q

men who have been loud in de- y
nouncing some brethren rs traitors, il
and may seem hardly worth answer Z
