The Canton times. (Canton, Miss.) 1893-1906, 1895-06-21

Realizing the wide spread circula.
ton of your valuable paper throughout
this county, and knowing that IL is
read at the fre-side of every family in
its fertile borders, humbly ask that
you grant me . space within your col.
umns, that ] may better advocate the
cause of one who is nov making his
battle for life or death" refer Mr..
Editor, to G. b. Greaves of Dist. No.
2. Mr. Editor, he is not a candidate
for Senator for the mere love of the ex-
element and inspiration that naturally
fills the heart of the candidate in the
political struggle, but sir, his has been
a calm and deliberate consideration,
apd after having been called by ago OF
the best men in Madison County, and
especially those of his own home, and
friends who have known him from the
early days of his childhood. and whose
hearts beat Ia unison with his, he has
decided to ''shy his castor in the polit-
ical arena" and like Ivanho. 1.-THE dis
Inherited knight. has returned from
the holy land, throws down the glove
and dares the proud Templars to the
mortal struggle"
Mr. Editor, the rumor is current that
Greaves will meet with serious opposi-
ton in his own district; nothing could
be more erroneous. There never lived
a man within the broad borders of this
County who was more beloved by the
very men who compose the bone and
SHINES of this County, and in fact sir,
the very foundation of Americas lib
erty. Why? Because in their darkest
hours he stood by them with unfiinch-
ing zeal, advocating their rights. The
unpopular one, knowing at the same
time that he wonld meet with raging
cyclone of defeat, yet at the same time
he was true to his convictions and
stood by them with an immoveble de.
termination, awaiting, calmly await
ing the tidal wave" which was slow
ly but irresistahly approaching. The
crisis has come and in front can be seer
the intrepid young leader cheering on
his inveterate followers, who are wild
in their cries for justice and Mr.. Editor
''if this be treason then let his foes
make the most OF it," Let simple JUS
tice be done by electing c. b. Greaves
as our senator. for it is but just re-
Enumeration of worthy son of a noble
sire, who in the dark days of 1879 was
robbed of his constitutional rights, but
like a man true as unrelenting steel,
he preferred to remain in private life
rather than unveil the 'precious few"
but his memory shall dwell in the
hearts of his sons admirers. until the
sands of time shall cease to roll.
Mr.. Editor will now attempt to give
some reasons why c. j. Greaves should
he elected Senator. which | partially
did in former article. He is bitterly
opposed to cliques, rings and monopO.
lies of every description. Since his
first entrance into the political campus
he has been found battling for the
rights of the laboring man. and to day
is an outright abett ,r OF their noble
canse. lie has studied their interest
with much precision, and is conse-
quently more and better equipped for
the arduous duties that devOlve upon
the one we select to legislate for us.
He is a broad guaged, liberal minded
advocate of Jeffersonian Democracy. |
He is not welded to any class or Sec
ton. but is always open to conviction |
/ nd ready to abide the wishes Of his
MIR. Editor we heartily
and cheerfully recommend him to tie
good people Of Madison County as
man worthy Of any honor they may see
it to bestow upon him, nor will he
prove recreant TO their trust, but will
! lways be found fearless and con-
,ciel.tious advocate of right and justice.
feel safe in saying | voice the senti-
nent of district .. He has enemies
ct them howl-their abuse shall fall
ike chat before the wind, for we love
i'm for the enemies he has made in u
loble cause.
