Editor Republican: In your paper of
last week you call attention to the
nomination of Jesse Stone for member
of assembly in this district. I want to
say that what you state about Mr..
Stone is true with every one who knows
the gentleman. He is an honest man
and be is a Republican I also want
to say that Mr.. Shinnick, his opponent,
is an honest man and he once was a
Democrat In this election Mr.. Shin
nick plants himself on a platform dis
tasteful to every American citizen who
loves his country-a platform un-A Amer
lean in principle andl detrimental to
our nation in effect-a platform which
no true Democrat can support because
it lacks the principles of true Demo-
crazy as laid down by our Democratic
fathers. Mr.. Shinnick plants himself
OF the precipice from whence he can
look down into the depths of political
humiliation. On these grounds [, as
Democrat, cannotsupport Mr.Shinnick
and will vote for Mr.. Stone. A true
American loyes his family, he
loves his neighbor, and, as you say,
loves his country. He stands for honest
money, he stands for the honor of his
country. A true Democrat knows that
all the money must be made, not by
law, but by labor; he knows that under
the free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer the price of American labor will be
diminished, low wages and idleness
will come to the American mechanic,
the American laborer, the America
boy, the American girl. 1t Is the
sacred duty of every American voter
to stand by those candidates who
stand for honest money. tits the duty
of every true Democrat to do his Mt
most to avert the danger now threaten
ing our country If be is true Demo-
crat he must stand by honest money
and cast his vote for candidates who re-
present true Democratic and American
principles. From that rock no true
Democrat should fly.
