 REpFlELn, ARK, April |, 1896. Senator J. W. Adams. Editor GeApnlc.
 MY DEAR SIR:-I was present last night at the speaking of the various candidates for county officers. | was especially glad to note that you had a nnanimouscall to address the assembled audience. and while we regretted to hear that vou had decided not to again enlist as q candidate for reelection for Stnte Senator from Jefferson County. we were proud, proud indeed to hear fall from yonr lips words of counsel aud advice to the Democracy of Barraque township.
 You have ever in the past proven yourself a man ofunusual Democratic courage, true to Democratic princi- ples aetuated by Democratic motives. Your remarks upon the "money question" lthe position of which you have always plainly and clearly advocated as suggested and directed by the National Democratic plat form and which you have adhered to strictly throughout your advo~ cacy of true Democracy in Jefferson County and the State and the Nationl were well taken and most highly appreciated We cannot see why you have ever been dubbed n gold bug True it is, you have incorporated in your doctrine the recognition of a gold standard within keeping with q silver ratio, still you have encouraged an eqnit- able ratio between these two medals. the same to be determined by q National Democratic Convention, and your position on this question has and still voices the sentiments of great number of your consti- l tuents.
 You showed clearly in your ad- dress last night that the Republican party had brought the injury that now drinks like a hungry wolf at the threshold of every home in our heretofore prosperous land, in that former Republican Congresses had enacted the laws that now prove determinal to the prosperity of our country, the result of which legisla- ton has brought our chief executive and subordinate officers into un- deserved and unfavorable criticism. When you stated that it was not the lacke of a sufficient volume of money, but the unequal distribution of money, and the opportunity affor- ded the few for the concen tration of this money that has wrought the injuries, you sounded the sstocsin of alarm that should awaken a determination of response followed by declaration of resistance and correction by q patriotic citizenship, the "bone and sineW" of which is recognized in the Democratic ranks. Let our party bear its own burdens of reproof, (we may have theI) but for our own and our country's sake let us resist the heel of the oppressor who willfully and falsely charges rs with his own known preconceived and damnable traitership.
 Well did you answer theintcrroga- tion how will we redeem the recent "bond issue" when you replied, q am not the Secretary of the Treas ury,' and well had you answered the same when you said "the sworn officers of the country were execut- ing the laws enacted by n Republi- can Congress. Let the ax of the guillotne fall upon the neck of the guilty and not theinnocent. Panics, strikes, distress and financial em- barrassment cannot today be placed at the doorway of Democracy; like chickens, they will go home to roost.
 Your championship for straight Democratic ticket as has character ized our local government during the past administration, met with the hearty endosement and approval of your Democratic constituents and just as sure as trnth is mighty justice strong, we are determined to fight for the same as long as one vestige of virtue remains in the Democratic platform. and that means "esto perptua Democracy.
 Yours.
 FIELDRED.
