You cannot take homeopathic

We don't believe in homeopathic
financial doses. 1t is true you have
been taking many political remedies
and your party is in valetudinarian'
condition. Nevertheless we, after

the opinion that your disorder re-
quires a full allopathio dose OF
Democratic financial medicine, If you
will take the 1ull dose we are sure it
will restore your party system to a
healthy Democratic condition,
We are some what skeptical as to
the intendment of a free coinage
plank in your National platform,
your general character for carrying
out platform pledges is bad -TaIsas

Your State convention was "h0m0

The Platform is orthodox. You
were welcomed "to the pink of the
South, the rosebud of all cities,
whose very Mayor is a daisy" and

tice, Moderation and gentilitY in
your failure to remember the 'great
est patriot since the DAYS of Wash,

You favor the payment of the
public debt as rapidly as practicable.
Your last National platform CON

Your President however didn't
think it was practicable and
added in twenty five months 1862,
100000 to the public debt.
You favor a graduated income
tax which you sat down on in 1868.
You are still after the rag baby
State Bank money.
You favor the enactment of laws
as will p event lynchings. We
we're not advised until now that the

The State condition we presume
is in as healthy a condition as could
be expected, as you make no men

In conclusion | will say word to
my brother Populist. We cut loose
from the Democratic party in 1892
not because We hated the party of
Jefferson and Jackson, not because
we were sore and disappointed office
