A IACKSONIAN DEMOCRAT.

In my previous articles, l have with
reluctance and pride referred to the dig
nifty of great men; viz: Ulysses S.
Grant, returning board" Hayes, Gro
yer Cleveland, Roosevelt, Mark Hannah
and Palmer G. Buckner" and l will
now connect the names of our fellow
countryman, Micheal Nj. Allison, with
the above honored gentlemen.
Now, there are two very prominent
characters before our country, whose
achievements have attracted the wide,
wide world and who are today contest
ing before our courts who shall have
the credit for the victory gained at San
tiago, Adm rails Sampson and Schley.
While it is fact that Admiral Schley
was in tue heat of the fight and exhib-
tied his bravery and cool judgement,
and showed his great generalship in de-
feating Admiral Cervera, yet we must
not lose sight of the fact that Admiral
Sampson was superior in command.
Admiral Sampson has been educated for
military honors, having attended
the leading military schools of our
nation and naturally deserves the hon
or, although he may have been sixty
4
for Sampson.
| Big men are not only needed in the
military service but we should keep
them in office. We ought to keep them
to the front because they are men capa-
BILE of managing our affairs as they are
more interested. / believe in all man
ayers of industries voting their employ
ees, from the largest chartered syndi-
/ a TO
We as laboring men are incapable OF
! understanding the complex situation OF
our industrial system. 1t is to the best
interest OF the managers of all these
syndicates for the laboring man to vote
with them.
AS to court house rings, | cannot ad-
wise you yet, but in the near future,
will hold a conference with a certain
friend of m ne, who is a local conf tract
or and also one of the leaders of my
party 1t depends largely on what he
says. But l will say in advance that as
have been in the past, | will be in
future, in favor Of the ring.
/ notice that Capt. w. E. Donaldson,
our present aJtorney-general, has made
announcement that he will run indie

constituents, and has clean record al

outstanding the fact that Capt Don
aldson has favored me on more than
one occasion, l will have to quietly
| come out against him. The reason tina
l was strong for Judge Estill for Su
preme Judge was that he made a warn
speach at Winchester, Tenn, agains
John w. Morton, an ex-Conf, deratC
soldier, on the grounds that Estill tba
old southern soldiers should get out o
the way and give the young men
chance.
just a word to those who have en-
deayored to criticize my articles | will
just say that owing to their insignif
canoe and small number as yet, that
will just wait until there is a greater
Der and then l will just take then
up by job lots.
