/ OF COLONEL BILL WEBB.
/ ENoNDALE, MIss., May 5, 1903.
Editor KgMPER HERALD:
/ understand that the HERALD
has "a new editor, SO good by
Miss Briukley. You didn't have
the opportunity to win the prize
that | offered you If you would
! take up your pen in my behalf
should some CT those big guns
pitch into me, but / hope soon
20 hear that you have won q
prize more suited to your talents
and superior worth. | do hope
you burnt the letter in which /
said so many wicked and naugh-
ty things about Prot Hammer
accusing me OF being in a little
Republican ST e-show. You
know such bad language might
come up against me at the day
OF Judgment. Farewell, Miss
Brinkley, and may success and
happiness attend you.
! | am not acquainted with the
new editor-haven't received my
last weeks paper. l hope he $
a good old-iashioned Democrat,
| without any Of the is,ns and
frills and fiounces OF latter day
Democracy
/ got caught in the letter writ
ing business by Bro. Viuson and
Col. George Webb publishing
letter / wrote Col. George. l
think they published it to get to
ealyme a little onery stump tail
| trying to wag big tat Demo
cratic dog. [ made the best an
swer | could as to why [ was
wagging him. But | am COM
pletely harmonized now.
But [ see that Col. Billy Bryan
says my friend Grover betrayed
the Democratic party, and when
invited to "a banquet he looks
over the list and if he finds
Cleveland name on it he refuses
to attend, He says there is no
i use for any other Democrat to
attend, from the fact that Grover
. takes holt and runs the whole
show. Well, Grover is big one
tor a fact; he does over shadow
Col. Billy a little. You see,
Grover has been president Two
terms and Billy bias only tried
to be president two terms: and
then Grover uses such tantaliz-
ing phrases as wanting to be
led out OF the shadow OF defeat
into the light of victory" Such
talk makes Col. Billy not in the
collar.
Now, | don't believe that Gre
yer betrayed the D e N o cratic
party: but | have been listening
to little talk among the people
audi find that a great many OF
them really do believe that Gro
yer did all that Col. Billy ac-
cuses him OF doing, and tor the
sake OF harmony if Col. Billy's
friends will agree to call him of
we will see what we can 90 with
Grover. Well try to get him
of duck hunting and maybe the
boys will get along better har-
monizing.
once saw two men in q fight
! and a lot Of the friends OF each
standing by. Some one halloed
out part the IN" when the
friends OF Smith grabbed him,
while the frien d 8 OF Brown
seemed to be in no hurry 10 get
hold OF the latter, so he pounded
Smith several jolts while his
friends were holding him. when
Smith halloed out ..by George,
boys, part us both" Now it we
go into anything like this, both
must be parted. We are not
going to hold Grover while Billy
mauls him. Perhaps Senator
German might fix the whole
thing, when he is president, and
silence both their batteries, by
agreeing to send Grover TO the
Court OF st. James and Col. Billy
to Berlin. So we Cleveland fel
lows are mighty "sott' in our
old logy notions and il some
thing is not done we may run
Grover again, third term or no
third torn.
