B, way Of attempting 70 reply to
'h,s letter the Denis caught at .
straw or less than straw-in fact
nothing. They gave tho names of
some individuals who were in en-
pleyment in some way by these in
stitutions, mostly as scullions or
menlals comparatively speaking,
and declared that they were either
Popnlists or Republicans. Now, il
is barely possible that one or two
anti-Democrats may have been in
employment when the last legisla
ture met; but THAT was not the time
when Republicans and Populisti
came into power. They came il
two years sgo-in 1S95-and up t
that time DO such thing was known
as Republican or Populist being
employee in any responsible posi-
ton IN til. SO institutions. II Their,
were any mild .porrats employ et
at all, they we're colored Ia borers. o
servants who were & Ven the task o
doing the scullisn or sanitary worl
needed. We do believe the Dem
can name a single anti Democra
who held any place that might b
called an Office or q position in an
institution in the State at the begin
ming of 1S95-not one. IF so, nam
him. Their effort to show tina
this was not the rule a few month
ago is nothing but u weak catch q
q broken sta~, and Is a rotten, cor
temptible effort on the part of Dem
to create a false i'm preston concern
ing their proscriptive policy. W
wish the Dems would act so as I
command, at least, a polemic r.
spect, but it grows clearer an
, clearer every day that they are il
9 capable of commanding any sort Il,
intelligent respect.
