October !, 1900. ,
TO THE DFMoCRATiC NoTERs or
EbDY County:
Seeing there Is n division Ia the party
/ thought ! would see II could say
something In behalf Of unity ! have
been laborlng with the party for over
forty years and am an old war demo
crat Il pains me 10 see party divided
IN this county and, ! believe, the cause
Of division is isprinclpally manufactured
by the republicans They wul legin
by talking rlrickery" and some demo.
Gratis Tor those who claim 10 bel win
help the thing along by the same cry
Of 'trlckery" or -ring," so II keeps on
going.
Now democrats, ! will refer you back
TO 1890. WHEN The national copvention
bolted. The republican party had their
wire.workcrs at work In the south and
they finally succeeded Ia what they
aimed to do and that was 10 get bolt.
Tho republican started corrupt and Is
80 till this day. When say republican
party don't mean individuals.
Now. democrats. you see what the re-.
publicans ri this county have done;
where they preceiyed split In the de.
mocrailc ranks they put out man for
the Office. but endorsed the men there
was no split or In the democratic
ranks. Now will say 10 the democrats
/ think n you are wise you will como
right up IN November and vote for the
good old democratic ticket. Vote for
the nominees n you vote for q re
publican and elect him he will laugh
and say that he hoodwinked YOU,
/ can't see where the democrats OF
Eddy county could get better men foI
Office than Is on the ticket. Where IA
better man than Judge Greeny And
whore Is better man than j. -. Wal
kerr Where can you beat Jake
OVENS Aud your present sheriff, IA
there q better oliclalY Stewart ha,
served you over three years and II he
hasn't got a good official record dom
know what am talking about. Where
can y0u lUd better men than the coun
~ commissioners will say 10 thOa'
who don't know Joe James that he Is 1
gentleman In every sense. In respect
to Mr.. Fannlng. the assessor, ho Is 1
good man aud we'll qualified for the OF
llce. our surveyor your all know him
Where u a better man than Mr.. Kerr
lie II well qualified 10 on the office o.
superintendent OF schools OF this coun
lty
Now democrats. think you will con
slider aud not go back on your party
Don't vote for men who claim 10 b.
democrats but are endorsed by republl
cans. Those men who are trying Il
catch all will catch nothing. Ou
good" democrat, Mr.. Murray, | think
sold our mighty cheap, for the pltifu
sum Of nomination for assessors h
might have gotten more. n a man Is
democrat lei him be- one; II he Is
republican let him be one; don't try 1
be- both
Now. Young democrats let me say
word 10 yon. When yon know as muc
about the republican party as do 20
will never vote the republican ucke
wish all democrats were like mes
never scratched a man Oft the ticket !
: my life. always swallow the pin, goo
or bad, aud / never swallowed but
worked OF all right.
Now We viii sec which party has slal
ed with the constitution that our forl
fathers left Tie democrats run th
government from iseO 10 1870 aud the
I never left the constitution. The repul
J iicans run the government from 1870 /
!. 100; first, they gave Grant double pa
I and then tried 10 give him the thlT
I term second, they demonltized silye
= which was Unconstitutional.
