old position among the democratic column.
While her majority is small. owing to the
many illegal voters allowed to vote owing to
the decision Of Judge Speer. yet it
Is democratic by a small majority. The
decision OF Judge Speer seems TO have been
known here by the members OF the third
party before it was published, and they
have been riding night and day hunting up
illegal voters. The democrats could
have voted many of them but re-
fused to do so, believing that
their state courts would indict all
such voters. We hope never to see, such
methods again used in a political contest in
this county. Midnight meetings by the
leaders Of the third party with the colorsd
people have been held repeatedly for months
and it reminds us Of the old reconstruction
period, but gallant old Wilkinson hopes
never TO surrender the flag Of democracy to
defeat.
