The Monticellonian., 1902-06-20


 upon my administration. but upon the state at large.
 My countrymen, I come of a stock that never left the field under fire; that never left while shot and shell were whistlng, and while the battle ragged, and fearing lest some of my people may have voted for me in the last political contest under Q false impression, and without knowing fully the charges that have recently been preferred against me by the Second Baptist church of this city-ah, gentlemen, when I come to this 1t almost moves me to tears, but l thank God that my home church has remedied this wrong as far as it lies within their power. I love the Baptist church of Arkansas, and a few cantinS hypocrites of this church cannot drive me from it's blessed folds. This last thrust of the dying men of the late senatorial campaign is indeed the most unkindest cut of all.'' and I say, fear ing lest some of my people may not have correctly judged me, and that pos Sibly some may think that this church charge has something of a foundation, and being ready and willing at all times for a free fair and full discussion before a jury not packed, not preiudiced, l here and now declare myself a candidate for the United States senate to succeed Hon James H. Berry. I prefer to have my , trial before the people of my native
 
 hypocrites, and I warn them now to do their worst, select their best man, put upon him a full armor breast plate and helmet, and let him meet me upon the public musings before the people of this state, upon their native heath. and there we will settle fully, finally and forever the dirty, vile calumny that has been hurled against me.
