SIR: read the article Of Democrat. a"
in this mornings issue Of your paper on
the Congressional nomination, 10 be
made very soon for this District also
your editorial and comments upon it,
regret your action very much, and
think you made a mistake. Demo
crat' said nothing uukind nor diScOurte-
Gus, but advanced some arguments in
favor Of his candidate that l am conf
dent every man, woman and child,
care not what party they belong to, will
say is true-strictly true. Col ID. ID.
johnson has claims upon the DemOcra-
cy of this District that no other man
has. He is is geographically located 70
entitle him 10 the nomination; neither
his county nor any OF the other river
counties Of Marshall. Wetzel and Tyler
have ever been recognized or hOnOred
with the nomination. Col. Johnson has
ability, no superior in either Ohio or
Harrison, the two counties that have
been misrepresenting the district for
the past sixteen or eighteen years. We
call halt here, and now demand that
those counties be heard from. The
Colonel is our choice. was the choice Of
the last convention. Everybody knows
that it was sharp practice and Shrewd
wire workers, some OF whom did not be-
long In the convention. that defeated his
nomination at that time. You say, Mr.
Editor, the REGISTER has great respect
and regard for all the gentlemen named
In connection with the nomination; they
are all deserving, etc. and as rule.
the REGISTER does not dis
criminate between aspirantS. Now,
Mr.. Editor, this is good
rule our advice % YOU is 20 adhere to it
strictly In this case. You certainly
cannot afford 20 do otherwise. Mr.
johnson has friends and plenty of them.
They are not OF the wirc-working and
trickster classes that 60 in 10 win with
out regard 20 the peoples wishes. 4
warning in time sometimes does great
good. The people are watching the
movements of the wiro-wOrkerS, trick
stcrs and dodgers OF this district at this
time, and woe betide If the peoples
choice is again set aside by the politi-
clans OF the two hot-bedS of trickery.
Ohio and Harrison counties.
The peoples voice must and will be
heard in this convention. Mr.. Johnson
is the peoples choice. You aud your
paper can not stand between them
aud their choice. II you do
YOU will make mistake. stand clear
hands of. II you are not with the
people, don't set yourself up against
them. Your paper Is the recognized
organ Of the party. Why should it and
It's power be used agai>t Col Johnson,
who has done 50 much and 50 long for
the party? Much more could be said
ON this matter, but the less said the
better We don't want 20 provoke ami
moSities; we want success. The way 70
get 10 is % secure our best man and all
work for his election. Ii won't be e..
W. Atkinson that the party will have
20 run against this time. IL will be the
best and strongest man they have. We
want our best man % 90 against him.
think Col. ID. ID. Johnson is the man;
am. therefore, for him.
With respect, etc.,
An OLD-TNE DEMOCRAT
