A IACKsONlAN DEMOCRAT,
Editor News:

| would feel very much disappointed
If my democratic friends did not criti-
else me. You can know them by their
criticism, and place them in the same
category with myself They have not
the backbone and nerve TO acknowledge
| believe in preaching what you prac-
tice. am laboring man and of course
dull OF com prehension to some extent,
but there are natural incidents that
loom up before the minds of the most
illiterate and ignorant. We may close
oar eyes against these incidents but
they creep in nevertheless.
am not by any means historian,
but If necessary could give you q bio
graphical sketch OF such men and wo-
men as Queen Victoria, POcahontas, w.
L. Gladstone, Jennie Lind, Buffalo Bill
and Shakespeare with his famous and
world renowned drama Of the Merchant
OF Venice, in which Shylock demanded
a pound Of flesh nearest the merchants
heart but was frustrated by Portia.
We need a Shylock in our party who
will demand and exact the leadership
of the democratic party, without any
recourse to the people. And this will
meet my appreciation.
/ thank God that we have men OF all
Glasses and Calibres from whom we may
select our leaders ] believe We as la
boring men should pick such men as
the honored Byron Tatum aud NJ. M.
Allison and others of the same GalibFe,
to appoint our officials and name the
salary, and down with spph things al
conventions and primaries, which are
| all "bosh and buncomb." | have been
informed by one of my close friends
that selected few OF the grand old
democratic party met at the Bennett
House up at Whitwell in mass conyen-
| tion and considerable lot of business
was transacted. Jas. Price was wisely
changed from a candidate for register
to county court clerk. There were five
or six there. Now, this exactly meets
my appreciation. Now, If every demo-
cratic candidate would be willing tC
bow and conform to their usages as dim
mie has, and the good voters of Marion
to be in sub mission to our leaders, this
would naturally produce complete bar
mony which is our slogan.
am glad indeed that Mr.. PRICE wa'
so thoughtful as to submit to the die
tates of the special few, II Mr., Price
is efficient in anything to fill the Office
to which he aspires, these leaders viii
ever be at his elbow. Of course oul
higher official aspirants must be taker
care of. 1t is understood with us tina
if there is any trading done on any o
our candidates, / infer from what j.
said down here, that it will be ou
county candidates, as our leaders sa.
that we mHat save Mike Allison at an!
cost and ! am with tham.
Among the many things that COM
before our minds for consideration /
capital and labor, we should ever kee
this question before our minds. l nev
or expect to become millionaEe, an
have made ua my mind tQ be for th
capitalist, for my living Is dependeR
upon them.
believe in foreign emigration an
especially Chinese emigration becaus
it naturally helps our manufactures t
expedite their business at less expense
Now, also favor the allied powers c
tho world. You see if we were to hsv
a great labor trouble in this country W
could have foreign troops hurried to th
scene Of trouble,
7 favor the gold standard BECAUSE
makes money dear and labor cheap,
I believe in protective tariff and ! than
God for Blaine who gave us a ne
9 name for our trade under the head {
reciprocity.
7 Whatever you do at tue election
whatever trade you make, be sure /
