T correspondence OF The Argus.
We had come TO the conclusion that IN,
political campaign would he very quiet ,hi
fall, but now il looks like there will b,
more blood and thunder than ever before
To walk through the town, is to see rar,
political show Of the pictures of candidate,
and at few windows we can see farmet
I pictures of the Hon w J. Bryan, whom We
would be proud TO have a chance to vote
/ for again, since he has suffered defeat a.
/ hooorahlc as ever man did IN the ANIMALS
of time lie is the same w. ]. Bryan today
That he was in congress and he is simply hall
/ century head Of his day. lie IS courage.
! Gus, heroic and spodess and should he have
been again nominated President, under the
\ present circumstances he would have paved
/ the way fora Democratic land slide. We
( admit that the Democratic national ticket is
no, as good as It might have been, but when
there ate two evils pending It is always best
to choose the less. When We look at our
surroundings and see that in eight years Of
Republican rule, our State expenses have
been almost doubled, we can not do our
selves justice by voting the Republican
State ticket. When we realize that our
county tax is double that Of surrounding
counties governed 10y Democrats we cannot
decide to vote the Republican county ticket
and when We realize that our National
Government expenses have almost been
doubled in eight years time and the expen-
dtures SI2 900, 600 per month more than
the income, We come to the conclusion that
we are proud of our Democratic record aud
viii vote the Democratic ticket We deny
The assertion that The Democratic patty is
The father of panics because we are old
enough TO realize that the panic of 1874
lasted until there was reduction of
internal revenues after which we had
season Of Democratic prosperity and in
1890 the Republican party again swayed the
scgpuc and iu two years more we had such
panic as they were ashamed of and like
Peter Of old they cursed aud swore that 1t
was Democratic panic awhile the Rcpubli.
Gu laws were be force for over two years
aiic' The beginning of the stdngency. But
again we arc in the midst Of a panic that
will be credited to the Democratic party If
We gain The election We do not like to
father Republican panios yet, perhaps il is
better 90 bear the blame than to see class
legislation ruin the county. We are
heartily ashamed Of q record that chronicles
The event of negro voting Fl times in
primary election, II a record that chronicles
a lot If officers gaining nomination on tax
reform aud then becoming auli-tax.re-
formers We are also ayersc to voting for a
Judge who sets on his case and decides the
case 10 his own interest We are also loo
spunky 90 vote for man who thinks he has
such cinch that he can say 'to hell with
thc common people" and then expect them
To- rc-clscl him 20 congress. We arc also
avcrsc 20 voting for man for a president
wh' is always speaking for the labsrers aud
at the same time giving all the pie 10
capitalists and negroes and only giving the
poor man job behind the gun WHICH will
later on promote him TO job in front of an
enemies gun. Excuse me Republican
brethren, Sall.e will not vote with the
negroes She will vote for a few Democratic
candidates and sull be Sallie Msnd,r.
