Letters From tl,e People.

| MIR. EDIToR:-Please allow NE to
say that | am SO befogged by the let
ter of our county chairman, that
find it very difficult to reply.
To review, simply asked Il few
| plain questions in my first queries, to
which, it seems to lne, no living man
icould object, which every democrat
has a right to knows and about which
|, along with many others, honestly
desired to be informed. Our county
Ichairman imagines that lie sees III
these queries, Il desire on my part to
gun after the county committee or
himself. Now, ] submit to the pub
] lie generally, that there is nothing in
the reading or wording of those
questions to indicate anything OF
that kind. 1t is simply er;ltuitous
on his part have been asked these
same questions at various places in
tile county, and | simply acknowl
edged my ignorance in the matter. |
then asked three of the most prom
juent men ut our Court House, and
was unable to get the information,
all of whom, so far as l know, are
friends of our county chairman, and
was advised by two OF the three to
ask through the paper. | asked one
of the county committee, who is
known I'LL through our county IFS n
man of intelligence and q stauncli
friend of our chairman, and lie didn't
know.
I was perfectly willing to accept
Lis explanation, if that had closed
his communication, but saw no need
of the structure in the last part, with
which he intended to hit me raw, "
and now, having found, as he be
iieves, that he touched Inc on the
rawn in the first, he now, without
any evidence of evil intention on my
part, only his imagination, tries in
his second, to make What he believes
to be raw, more tender.
Further, if my production is so
lame, why commend me to the Acco
mac News. Are they after you too?
If not, why damage or weaken their
efforts with my lame productions?
Don't you think had better con-
tinue with the Enterprise, with it's
> 400 subscribers behind me, who like
myself, | doubt not, would like Il
straightforward answer to the afore-
said queries; with no evasions, by
some one competent to reply. | fur
Their desire to say that | regret the
necessity of my two last productions,
having no desire toquarrel, and hop
ing this will be final.
While, So far us am informed, our
county committee are gentlemen of
the highest integrity, yet, from the
information gained, am forced TO
the conclusion that our county COM
mittee, like other productions, books
for example, needs constant revision

MIR. EDIToR:-If current rumor can
be relied upon the democrats in Ac-
comac are somewhat at variance and
unless cooler methods prevail serious
results to our party may follow.
Any party is in u pitiable plight,
when it refuses to acquiesce in the
decision OF the powers that be after
making IL fight and allows itself to be
torn asunder because the wishes Of II
portion thereof has not prevailed.

pointment as any one else over the
outcome of the recent conflict over the

over freely yielded to the inevitable
attach no blame to our representa-
tives in the State Senate and House.
whom we so recently honored with our
sufTrages, and who being gentlemen
of the highest Integrity, for my part
am perfe city willing to again trust
them with the affairs of State. If
dssensions exist in our ranks, be
cause of the fight over the Office of
Superintendent of Schools, or for any
reason, they should cease at once, if
We would present Il solid front TO the
enemy in the interest of the people
In no other way can we hope for or
do we deserve success. Why cavi
over insignificant affairs when the
essentials are at stake The rumored
methods, if true, being Lsed to lnjure
the further ulitical usefulne SIS Of our
trusted servants in the Senate and
House are unfair, unjust and undenl-
ocratic in the extreme. The demo-
cratic party has lived, moved and had
its being because OF its close touch
with the people and when we thwart
their will 10y questionable methods
we deserve political humiliation.
The people as a whole desire pri-
maries that they may have some say
US to their candidates, "a time honor
ed democratic principle, which to
oppose, when demanded, is suicidal.
1t is of the utmost Importance that
all friends of justice and democracy
attend the meeting at next Mondays
court, or else We might regret it when
too late. Let no set of men rule us,
but the whole people, and then we
will carry out the fundamental prin-
ciples as laid down by the illustrious
founder of our party.
If, in answer to the remarks of
Subscriber" the present county
committee is proving to be u thorn in
the party flesh, l am sure no MEM
Der of that committee would hesitate
one moment to resign and let the
people say who shall serve them in
that capacity. Whatever we do at
the coming meeting, let it be done in
the interest of the people and not to
further the personal spite or unholy
aim of anyone.
