Why | Am a Democrat.

A correspondent of the st. Louis
Republic answering a correspondent
who asked the above question, stated
the case very forcibly as follows:
Briefly, you are, or ought to be,
a democrat because the principles of
the democratic party are the founda-
tions of Anglo Saxon liberty and civ
ilization wherever the English Ian
guage is spoken. It is a party of
local self-government and states
rights as opposed to the centraliz-
ing ideas of the republican party,
which would prefer to have all
all the laws of the country
made in Washington and reduce the
states to the condition o: provinces.
The democratic party is the party
of popular rights as opposed to the
privileged classes and monopolies
created and fostered by the republi
can party, which persistently seeks
to enrich the few at the expense OF
the many. 1t is the party of econ.
omy and honesty in the administra.
ton OF public affairs as opposed to
the dishonest extravaganza Of which
the republican party is guilty when
! ever it gets chance. It is the par
ty Of peace, good will and mutua
helpfulness between the sections a!
opposed to the narrow, bitter ant
fanatical sectionalism of the repub
lican party, which is ever seeking Il
crush and retard the south for tn,
advantage of the northwest. Th,
democratic party has built up tn,
greatness of the United States. and
in doing SO, has been steadily ant
bitterly opposed by the republica,
party aud its predecessors. It wa.
a democratic president, Jefferson
who required of the United State'
the vast and productive countr,
west of the Mississippi from tn,
Gulf of Mexico to British Americs
and extending in the northwest cleal
to the Pacific ocean. the territor,
out of which Missouri, Arkansas
Louisiana, Kansas, Iowa, Nebrask a
Wisconsin. Minnesota and the state,
of the great northwest have since
been created. It was a democratic
administration, that acquired Flori

cratic administration, that Of Polk

To the Editor oil The Republican.
Having read with interest all the
articles appearing in the county
papers upon such an important ques-
ton. Although some differ upon
such an important question, l have
no suggestion to make. Let it be on
dogs, or head tax, or in other words
let it advance our present rate of tax,
but give US six months school. and l
am safe in saying there will be no
complaining among the taxpayers.
Speak to any stranger and he will tell
you it is shame to have only four
months school in Garrett. What Is
the matter? Is Garrett County too
Door? Can't she afford to continue
the schools any longer than four
months? Must we let our children
grow up in ignorance 1 do hope
our County Commissioners can see
their way clear and levy enough
funds for SIX months school, Sun
posA it does advance our tax a little
| for one as a tax payer, am willing
to stand the advance.
Let Us all rally ami have longer
term of school!
