Madison County Democrats.

A Jackson Dispatch says that
Congressman B. A. Enloe address,
ed a large number of the Madison
County Democrats in the court
house at Jackson Saturday, most
of whom were farmers and men,
bers of the Farmers Alliance. He
spoke something over two hours,
and his arguments on the SUBJ
treasury, Government ownership
Of railroads and land-loan schemes
were logical, eloquent, and able.
He proved the disaster that the
land-loan scheme would have on
Madison County, by citing those
countries that had tried it and
found it to be a failure. The de-
fects of the sub-treasury scheme
were also pointed out in convinc-
ing manner.
Mr.. Enloe was followed by Mr..
E. L. Bullock, chairman of the
county Democratic executive COM
mittee, who urged upon his hearers
the Importance of Democratic Or
ganization over the county. He
was loudly cheered.
Mr.. j. W. n. Burkett, chairman
of the Jackson Democratic Club,
was then called on and responded
in an eloquent speech. The crowd
was in the best of humor and it re-
minded one of an old-fashioned
Democratic revival. Hesuggested
that central Democratic club be
there and then organized, and ask
ed all those in favor of such steps
to stand up. Nearly every man in
the house was on his feet in an In
slant. The club organized with a
large number of names on the list,
and this will be followed by SUBJ
organizations all over the county.
