IAcKsoNIAN DEMOCRAT.
Written for the News.

Z
Now there may be some who think
the Jacksonian Democrat is is dead, but
he only sleepeth, and being awak-
ened by the rustic and hustle OF mod
ern political campaigning, now has
the benefits OF the wonderings OF
his mind while reposing in this sleep
so much like Rip Van Wrinkle or SOM
nambulism. There is nothing on Gods
green earth so helpful to the physical
body and mind as sweet repose and
pleasant dreams, but the present crisis
and attending political demands are the
sole cause for my being so abruptly
aroused. Had it not been for these in
cidental occurrences, the Jacksonian
could have said as the rich man said
when he built his barn larger soul
take thine ease"
Since our last county convention the
political machinery, as thought was
without friction, but like thunder
clan on clear MONDAY was the inform
alton when it reached the ears of the
Jacksonian, that the reorganizers had
lost out in the fight on the platform in
our democratic state convention.
Now, as you all we'll know we have
never written or passed single resolu-
tion for or against any democratic prin-
eiple in either the Judicial or County
Conventions, but on the other hand we
have been fighting the followers OF the
r Kansas City Platform with smokeless
nowder and from close cover, so that
the enemy could not tell whence the
proiectiles came. The Jacksonian
Democrat appeals to his many friends
the county over, to be on the alert In
/. this campaign, and not to worry or
: faint by the wayside. l fear | have al
J ready been sleeping on my rights, but

9 The Jacksonian Democrat feels un-
equal to the task and he feels unable TO
express his gratitude to his good and
: ever faithful friend and political
brother, T. A. Havron, for the article
in the Statesman Democrat. have
