slR:-I suppose that It Is q foregoolnle.
conclusion that VIC ore to have d usurper
for Governor in place 81 one q III, 81; most .,,t
brilliantmen ii this State eneral Ma.
than Gof-7wbo was; elected to the Gov.
ernorship Of this State In q fair and hon hon,
ofable election, and who Is able q nj
the! Office In every respect, 4 and 4 who
would have made q fair aud impartial
executive. Now to have such a man de.
irauded out Of Ills just rights Is an out.
rage aupon tho people, Fanl Insult, ana
against law and common Edeccncy,f So
lar aa II regards A. Brooks Fleming
whom l have known for a number ~ n
years, ! have nothing to say OF him as n
man, but politically Iihave fsomewhat
against him. First I look upon him ma
not being qualified s!Eto ~ oil IA the
highs Office OF Governor Of this State! M
also consider him a violent partisan and
q. deMagogue, and SO far as u regards
his demagogy 4 Judge him from What
! heard him say In Faifmoutin a speech
during tho campaign ofa1SSS. ~ In The
FIRST place he said that 1t couldn'tibe
otherwise, judging from. the wonderful
uprising oil the Democracy Of this State.
and throughout the Nation that thev
would elect that great and good man
Hroyer Cleveland; \ aud thatsgrand Old
Roman Of Ohio, "a. G. Thurman. n Then
followed his g demagogic ffdtclaration.
namely, that. II wouldn't; be long until
the Democratic party would got possess.
ion Of the United States Senate and then
they would puta stop to the, North in
teriering with the legislation OF 4 this
country. AS much as to say ! that tia
North has no rights that the SoutlIis
bound to respect. S'g3l q fsnl.'l! n
Now, l will leave tho readers Of the
INTELtldENcER to say II such statements
are not demagogic. 70 4 h MA
NJ CHIN rs m American either, under
a Republican form OF government That
such n man is not fit to govern a free
people. And, when q man sets himself
up;as a target he need mot BIO surprised
II he Is. shot ut. II Mr.. Fleming had not
bad anything to DO with tho contest ia
would have had more friends among tic
Republicans in the State than he Il has
today land It is the opinion Of many in
this county that he could not have been
elected to the Judgeshfp without Repub.
liGan votes. But he & has received the
last Republican vote that he will ever
get IN this county, and he accepts the
stolen goods (Goll's scat he will remain
under a cloud, *and come out under a
cloud But it may DO Ia blessing in dis.
guise to the Republican party; for l hone
and believe that If the Republican party
look! well to Their organization and move
IN a solid column that in the next gen.
eral election they will sweep the State,
and that, too, by such!G majority that no
conteinptible set OF conspirators, as in
This case, would dare count them out q
I l have given my: views rs anfhumble
citizen. VI = have nothing to conceal. mi
ask ior.n no office. / am IA Republican,
aud have never, been anything else. Fl.
nally, let the contest be closed, let the |
drop upon the disgraceful scene
which has been transpiling for! fifteen
months, hoping that it will be the last
farce that may eyer; be witnessed.
