In a recent interview, Mr.. jefferson NJ.

a.. home OF Jefferson. near Charlottes-
vile. speaking OF the political situation,
said among other things:
"The Democratic party can reap the
benefits Of Republican Misrepresentation
~ II only Keeps itself free from financial
mistake IL Is great error to call a
man q Democrat who believes in free
silver. / take II that Democrat is a
man who believes in and subscrbes to
the principles enunciated by Thomas
Jefferson. There is no denying that pro-
position. Such being the case. follower
Of Jefferson must he a champion OF sound
money Why? Because. when Thomas
Jefferson became President In 1Sl5 silver
was then being carried on at ratio OF

declared that this country could not
afford TO do so and compete with the
rest II the world.
"The Democrats of the South" con-

subject and we can profit immensely by
letting them keep up their stradlle on the
fence and taking our decided stand on
The side Of sound money. And / repeat
that Democrat who believes In Jeffer-
sou's principles cannot be any other than
a s0und-money man. The so-called Dem
