ID WlII Thus De seen ihai in ihe eight /
counties Boo which both 'rumey and Euloo /
lost iu lsof over 1872 thal Enloo lost l0ll
votes more than Tumcy, Enloo losing I
more than Turney in every county except /
Benton and that Tumey gained i3 more +
votes boz the two counties Of Madison and /
Carroll Than Euloe, these being tho only /
counties boz the district that show uy
gains, and both home counties Ol Alr I
EnI0e. tits thus seen iu the eight C0un- 1
ties showing losses Enloe'B losses are lgi /
greater than Tuney,s and in theonly two /
counties showing gains that Tuncys /
gains are i3 greater than Enloe's, which /
forces the conclusion that EnlOe was /
weaker iu the the Democratic support |
than Governor Tuuey and la party sup
port actually run behind the ticket
The article i'm the Sun admits, "to be /
Ieir," that Mr. Enloe must have received
tWo or three hundred P0puiisl votes III i
that is true. and IL CERTAINLY Is, as De only /
received Ia more votes in the district
than Tumey, he did not receive as many
Democratic votes as did Governor Iumey
and run behind the ticket
EnIoe run behind Turney in Hardin
County lOvOtea and in Henderson SO votes
making lO2 votes for the two counties.
The article referred 20 gives Minis IN
this Congressional district ,l56 votes, on
just 2j5 more than he received. This Is
stated 10 show how accurate are those
Figures that do not LEE.
Sir. EnlOe's losses in Perry, Chesterand
Henry were only So, or not enough % be
significant just as his gain in Madison
equal 20 the natural party gain due to i'm
crease in population.
But Mr. Enloe's loss in the five coun-
ties OF Benton, Decatur, Hardin, Hender
son and McNalry was S37 votes. His loss
in these five counties was more than
McCalls entire majority Of S2l. This is
very significant Now what has hap
pened since the defeat OF Mr.. Enloe to
strengthen him in these five counties p
In the same five counties Governor Tur-
ney's loss was only 634 or 1913 less than
| Enloe. LISA well-known fact Mr.. Enloe
received Populist votes in these counties,
while Governor Tdmey received none.
It is a we'll known fact that many voters
rather than scratch a ticket will stay
away from the polls.
Now, we ask all Democrats TO stop and
think and ask themselves if it is good
! sense, good judgement, or party loyalty,
under all these circumstances, to again
nominate Mr.. EnlOe2
Mr.. Sims is very strong in these five
counties where Mr.. Enloe and the party
| lost most, and he is not weak anywhere
in the district Mr. Enioe is very weak
in these five counties and not stronger
than Mr.. Sims in the other five counties.
1t is admitted that Mr.. Sims will receive
the full party vote of Madison and Carroll
and there is no doubt that he will get
more votes in the other eight counties than
can possibly be polled for Mr.. Enloe.
This is the only Congressional district
IN this State in which the Popuist have
ever voted for a regular Republican NOM
inee, Withdrawing their own nominee in
order to defeat a regular Democratic nom
inee and this they have done in this dis
trict both IN 1894 and in 1892, showing
concusively that Mr.. Enloe was more
obnoxious to the Populist than was any
other Democrat nominee for Congress in
this State. Now what hope is there that
the POpulists in this district have buried
all their animosity towards Mr.. EnlOe
ard will now either support him or vote
for a candidate of their own? Mr. Sims
is not specially Objectionable to the Pop
ulist more than any other Democrat and
will certainly stand a better chance to re-
ceive the Populist vote than Mr.. EnlOe.
Then if Mr.. Sims will get more Democra-
tic votes than Mr., Enloe and stand bet
ter chance to get Populists votes than
Mr.. Enloe, why is he not the logical can
date? Such is the inevitable conclusion
with Democrats who are more DESTROYS
for the success of their party than the
qualification of the personal ambition Of
Mr.. Enloe.
Mr.. Enloe has been honored with the
nomination five times in this district and
elected four times Does the Democracy
of this district owe Mr.. Enloe such a deb
as requires it to imperil its success il
November in order that he may have ont
more chance to re-estabhsh his politica
fortunes? We think not.
Mr.. Sims has no antagonisms to over
r come anywhere in the district. He hal
5 always fought the battles of his party anC
retired from the contest for the nomina
ton two years ago and worked manfull,
q for the election of Mr. Enloe and we thinl
g has acted 80 as to entitle him to the nom
ination and so as to make him the strong
est man in the district that can be nom
mated
n With the assurance that Mr.. Sims cai
$ be elected if nominated and having til
a party's success at heart we ask all goo
S Democrats in this district to vote an
: work for his nomination.
IS Respectfully,
