Friend Reasons With the Doctor.

Friend Reasons With the Doctor.
Doctor, why should you turn your
back OIL your old friends, friends in
all that tho word implies! You must
know, that those persons, whose
nomination you accepted, merely
want tn use your name and clean repu.
tation to strengthen their own
chances for uccess Were they ever I
known to lie reliable except to further |
their own ends! You cannot help
knowing that the efforts of those pe0.
pie in their egotistic struggle cannot
avail you rs much as the Lahore OF your
old friends, who would with clear
conscienccs and with the convincing
earnestness of truth bring you votes
that are lost to you under the present
their campaign with the boast that
they have got the money and the
whiskey to get votes with. Is this
honorable for them to utter! Even ii
they think and feel that way, common
decency ought to prevent them from
pronouncing 1t.
What were the elements of your
support to u large extent but peo.
pie who intended to beat the state
out of its due taxes and men who
could not force from their old party
associates the ill merited confidence
that they desired.
CHANGING ovcr the names on the
ticket that you are heading. VIC find
some %emincntly respectable people,
who are hOnOred Ivy democrats and
republicans alike, hut we also find
the names of some, who, us you know,
Doctor, and rs L know, are and have
been no good tn themselves or the
community, who do not seek Office for
the honor or the living that might be
in it or the good they might be able
to render their fellow citizens, but
who expect to enrich themselves Ivy
thinly covered schemes at the ex-
pense of the county, who figure on a
certain amount of hush money. etc.
They are men that would fear a grand
jury investigation as much as II VAN.
pire the light Of the sum-.
You condemn the republican ma.
chine, Doctor; but just consider the
personnel of the machine ut your back
and you must confess that the ele'
ments in the first are the more re-
spectacle and less apt to do injury tc
the people of this district. The re-
election of Mr.. Simpson is in the eye:
of the better element of this distric G.
not only due him, but almost ever ;
: necessity to this community, and re.
! elected he will be, Doctor, because hi
| has the support of the best people
while your main strength lies, so t,
!. express myself, on hirelings and tn
worst element of our population out
r side of the original democrats, VIII,
v will not vote as Il unit this time.
You well know, Doctor. that thi}
district in the territorial legislatures
the constitutional convention and tn
state legislature until the last term
4 has not been creditably represented
- consequently it would be folly for tn
voters, to retire representatives VIII
have shown themselves so eminentl
able and proven themselves a credi
6 to their district.
d Did it ever strike you, Doctor, tina
i, the very same people who mad
themselves so conspicuous in you
" primaries and conventions are til
r. very ones who were instrumental
having railroad headquarters remove
from our town and would it not he i
perfect logic to expect them to perp,
y trate like mischievous manipula tion
'e ON the county ut large, if persons
II spite should dictate them to do so.
le Doctor, we do not care for you
views OH free silver or the tariff; the
are national issues and we trust thel
y to our congressman. You have bee
is honored by the republicans of tn
county before this, you have held II,
4. merous county positions and probab'
- in few years, you would have ACHE
N ed easily with republican votes tn;
i. which your ambition now seeks fro,
lie outside influences.
1t does not seem reasonable tn,
you should succeed now because yol
heart cannot be in this contest ar
you have not the support of your tr,
" friends, who in u straight contes
would be willing to labor in your b
IN half.
~ Doctor. don't be angry but just d
liberate if above sayings do not GOV,
= the issue. A FRIEND.
