BUCkHORN, Sept. Is, 1894.
The Democratic county cOnven-
ton held at Fayetteville was but
thlndlv attended, not a respectable
show for a township primary. There
was of course no enthusiasm N among
the little band of plutocrats. They
nominated for the Senate S. G.. Ran
Kin; House, Ben McBryde and Press
HalI-all three are out and out gold
bug, and special friends of that
faithful cuckoo "Aattie Ransom"
Cen A. 9. Brady-a Republican and
a yankee of Point Lookout fame
was IA prominent delegate in the
Democratic convention today.
Gen. A. G. Brady, declared before
. the convention tha he was Repub-
llcan, amd vet he WIS allowed to par
ticipate in the convention hand in
hand, heart and heart, and was es-
corted around by Col. Green.
1t is whispered around that the
once ''unterrlfied Democracy" are
cOqoetting and courting Gen. Brady
for campaign money to corrupt the
election in Cumberland county
The. Democratic primaries in a
ajority of the townships was com
plete failure. Your correspondent
learns from Democrats themselves
chat III many of the townships that
The Chairman Of the Ex. Com. was
'he only person present at the pri-
maries.
The Democrats nominated a GER
tain man to-day who was the nomi-
ace Of the party two years ago, and
acted as Judge at his own box III
Fayetteville. The Democrats in
this county allow their nominees to
to act as judges and poll holders.
These are facts which will 10 brought
TO light before the campaigh is over.
Conservative Democrats concedt
the election of the entire PopuIist
county and legislative ticket. 1t l.
conceded by every one that Dir
Thompson will carry this county
1000 majority over John Shaw.
A resolution was introduced in
the convention to-day endorsing
Maj. Z. j. Hale for United States
Senator and was adopted, but the
RanSomites kicked and had the Ies-
olution reconsidered and called d
primary to be held in December
next. The pretended followers of
Hale were using Maj. Hale as a
cas- paw to rake Ransom chesnut
out of the fire of the Peoples wrath.
1t was misunderstanding among
the Ransoaites. A part of the Ran
5omite6 (the pretended Haleites) were
going to use Maj. Hale to deceive
the people in the coming campaign
and the other factlon-the fools as
they were called-did not know the
trick, hence the click, and the pre-
tended Hale followers could not
then tell their brothers of the trick,
because the secret would have leaked
out and the people would have seen
Cataline's conspiracy to betray and
deceive the people.
1t is an open secret that Maj. Hale
is an advocate of President Cleve-
land because he was the Democratic
platform writer at the Democratic
State convention. The Democratic
State platform says: ave admire
and endorse the lofty patriotism of
the President"
The Democrats of this county are
divided over local matters, and a
split in its own ranks is inevitable.
The Democrats of Fayetteville in
their primary on Friday night G
inst) at the dreary hour of nlu-nig ht
disagreed and fought all over town,
which came near ending in a serious
riot and blood shed. The police, it
is said, commenced the disturbance
The riot has caused a breach in tn .
party ranks, but Oil will be poured
in the wounds before the election tc
overcome the dissatisfaction. "When
Greek meets Greek then comes The
tug Of war;"
