The Russellville Democrat., 1890-07-31
To the Voters of Pope County

The Democratic primary of Pope IS oyer. Our little family affairs have been legitlmately settled, and now, boys we have got to meet the enemy and fix him np a job in Sep tember-which will be very easily accomplished, and that with a "free ballot and a fair count" of which the Vindicator prates so much--if Democrats will only do their duty.
 The Vindicator comes prancing up even to the back door of the less informed, and with satanic impu dence, whispers softly In the ear of the creduous: "I fear they have made a mistake; they have missed their aim. Behold the evidences of dissatisfaction and disunion; the old Democratic party is gonew Pale and trembling, after glancing at the Democratic hosts advancing in solid phalanx, he turns himself about and goes into his den and thus addresses his minions: Boys, organize, go to work, discourage, proselyte, bribe with office, call the negroes colored people, and then make them believe they will be put back in bondage if they vote the Democratic ticket, push things while it is called o-day, be cool, calm and self calculated, use judgement, know when as we'll as how, talk loud" 'harrah for Fizer and reform
 The Vindlcator and all who are "built that way" would be glad in their hearts if there was dissatlsfac tion in the Democratic party, over the result of the primary. That is what they want. Something of the kind is especially desirable, because the situation demands 1t.
 The works of nature approach per lection more nearly than anything the Yindlcator can get up. There is to be no more splitting of the Demo cratic party. What IS left, we think, is sound to the core.
 Now, SO far as I am individually concerned, I would have been better suited. or course, I would like to have been successful in my under taking but l didn'tget votes enough, that's all. l am poor; l felt like I needed the money, and would liked to have had the honor. Perhaps you mistrust my Democracy; if so, you dld right in sitting down on me. You dId not know me. l believe these places that have to be filled by some of our citizens, should be changed occasionally, when we see we can make q safe change, otherwise we should be careful. am not so large ss some, but am as good Demo erat, and I believe l am just ss dem- ocFatie as ever bit the ticket. have been a Democrat all my life, and have voted that ticket since l have been old enough. and intend Co vote lt whiie live, whether l hold i aitios co noI Gentlemen, am not a Democrat f0f an office. have been defeated by A Democrst and 6 good oue~~a man that l can in iofse. if he can serve the interests sf che party at this time better than myssif ] say amen Co the result. l ha3 la submission to the will of the About all the wind was ' noeked out of my sails, but the De- moeracY e still there, pure and sfwsg
