BOWLING GREEN, KY, July 81, 1S93.--
EDITOR NEWS: trust you will permit a
lifelong Democrat of Southern Kentucky
to say a word to the Democracy of your
community in favor of Gen. A. j, Gross,
candidate for the Democratic nomination
for State Senatorin the Tenth District.
do not propose to antagonize Mr.. Rich
ardson, or Mr.. Minor, both of whom are
worthy men and good Democrats; but to
tell the good people OF Breckenridge,
Hancock and Meade the regard neigh
boring Democracy has for sack" Gross.
In the first place, he is man of the
people, in touch with them instinctively
and practically. Whatever of success in
life has attended him has been gained by
his own good sense and hard labor. In
every walk in life to which he has devot-
ed himself he was success. He was a
good soldier, always ready to perform any
duty pointed out to him. He was self
reliant, as was shown by his marvellous
escapes from the enemy when in their
hands. But it is not on his army
service that he should be sent to the Sem
ate. 1t is for his sterling worth as man
and Democrat.
After the reorganization of the party
in 1865 Gross was local leader in his Vi
cinity. lie materially aided in the first
victory prior to 1870. By and by his
fame began to spread and he had more
than local reputation as a Democratic
adviser and worker. 1t was not until
1884 that he asked for any sort of prefer
ment. Then he was chosen delegate to
the National Democratic Convention OF
that year and cast his vote for Mr. Cleve.
land, whom he instinctively recognized
as the coming Moses of the party.
The following year Mr. Cleveland made
him U. S Marshal for Kentucky, and he
was the first man to come out of that Of
flee with clear bill of official health in
over generation. He got his quietus
because he ran the office on business
principles.
In the various national campaignssince
1872 Gen. Gross has done more than his
part, He visited and conferred with
Democratic leaders of the North, made
suggestions to them and conveyed to
them material aid. He was specially ac-
tive on this line in 1884 and again in 1888.
AS Adjutant General of the State he
has promoted more than one reform, and
has conducted the Office on the same lines
that characterized his conduct of the Mar
shal's office.
Always, at all times and everywhere,
he has been an active Democrat, partici-
pating in the active work of the party,
attending its conventions, opening his
purse, and contributing TO the success OF
others.
Now he asks Office from the people for
the first time in his life-the people with
whom he cast his lot in 1865, and with
whom he has mingled for thirty years.
The office he seeks is not one beyond his
capacity, but one that he is eminently
capable of filling. We can not but think
he will be successful, and we know his
triumph will be hailed with approval in
other parts OF the State.
DEMOCRAT.
