r. R. Humphrey is mayor of Waterloo,
Linn county. He has always been strong
Democrat and a great admirer OF Grover
Cleveland. He was such strong party
man that he was made member of the
central committee of this county But he
has now lost faith, as the following letter
written by him and addressed to the chair
man of the Linn comfy central committee
shows: Dear Sir: | herewith tender my
ri tsignation as member of the Democratic
central coplmittee for the reason that l, as
an American citizen, cannot stay with
party when have every reason to believe
their leaders interest is with the moneyed
Jews Of England, in preference to an Amer
lean citizen. My advise is for you all to
resign, but if you think it not best, all
have to say is, may God have mercy on
your poor souls.
