self to command the vote of that city
Just as you are claiming you can do or
account of your sympathy with Ger
tain elements Of the party in st. Loui'
opposing Folk?
No doubt in this criticism of Mr.
Folk you and Butler are In perfect
accord, and it is just such unjustitia
Bile attacks as this made on Mr.. FOIL
by you and Others that has caused you
and them to be classed with the cor
ruptionists and their supporters, and
thereby make it necessary for you tC
come forward with a defense Of the
st. Louis Democrats, as you are
pleased to call your Hannibal speech
In your letter you say that the real
Democrats OF st. Louis are opposed tc
Mr.. Folk. Who are meant by the real
Democrats; you do not explain? There
is probably more intelligence in the
country than you are willing to give
US credit for, and certainly there is not
that credulity among us to believe
everything we hear. We are willing
to believe there are good and honest
Democrats in the city Of st. Louis for
some other than Mr.. Folk for Cover.
nor, but we are not willing to believe
that all of the Democrats, or the
greater portion of them, are opposed
to him, and do believe, when you say
that the real Democrats In st. Louis
are opposed to Mr.. Folk, that you
utter the most unjustifiable slander
against them which has yet appeared
in print.
The avenues Of public information
are open to us In the country just as
they are to you in the city. There is
very little In that Hannibal speech
but.had, before you gave it utterance,
received the consideration OF the
country people. There are people here
who think that speech a piece Of con-
summate impudence, and, taken in con-
nection with the covert attack upon
Mr.. Folk made on that letter, think II
an insult to the intelligence of the
country Democracy.
/ will mention another thing
claimed for yourself, very much to
your credit, and that is that you are
the original discoverer Of the Circuit
Attorney. The people demand no
apology of you for that, and hope you
will live to see the day when you are
as proud of that fact as they are.
1t makes no difference whether he
shall be the nominee for Governor or
not, he has aroused public sentiment
so thoroughly upon the subject Of cor
ruption In Office and faithfulness to
public trust, that the name of Joe
Folk will be revered by all the people
Of Missouri so long as they shall be-
lieve in good government, and, like
Jefferson, think that unprincipled men
ought never to be allowed to occupy a
public place.
You are young yet, and it Is to be
hoped you will be able to extricate
yourself from the predicament Of
standing with boodlers and against
their prosecutors-a predicament In
which, taking advantage OF your
jealousy of Mr.. Folk,,Y have allowed
your flatterers to place you. In the
meantime l hope you will learn that
the country people are not the sim
pletons you take them to be.
