UNCLE GID'S LETTER.

1t appears that money and company
influence have not any power in old
Grundy to sway an election. While |
do not know that single dollar was
used to defeat John Cline, yet rumor
says there was. The whole battle was
fought with a determination to win,
by the friends of Cline and as good
Democrats as there was in Grundy vo-
ted for him, while some boasting Re-
publicans fought him bitterly. The
pie brigade of both parties tried to de-
feas him and made failure.
The standing-collar set was too weak
to overthrow the one gallus fellers. As
to other officers no one is dissatisfied a
bout them. The working men favored
Jas. Nunley and he was elected.
Alexander and Scruggs ran close
race, both having the friendship of or
ganized labor, so that was division
of its vote, electing Alexander by a
small plurality.
For Register the labor vote was not
concentrated hence Shelton being a
cripple, was elected over Pirtle. In
fact, organized labor at no time ever
endorsed the candidacy of any man,
not even John Cline, while the Meeks
force seems to have had well defined
ticket in the field, even down to con-
stable and school commissioner but
with all the allying of their strength
not single man was elected distaste-
full to the one-gallus fellers of Grundy
County ON the Cline side of the ISSUE
Money has no, influence here in
Grundy with the great majority in an
election. Our people, though poor and
! dispised are honest and straight for
ward and poor man has the same
showing to get and hold Office as the
we'll to do has and the only trouble
they are having today is in their fine
sense of right between man and man
and between employe and employer.
When employers on this mountain

men of Grundy county are human be-
ings and treat them as such there will
be no struggle Of differences but as
long as the company thinks it can force
submission it will find resistance.
1t so far has made no effort to treat
these men with any sort of respect OF
even to recognize them above com
mon slave. These men, though poor,
know that they are free human beings,
and will never yield their industrial
right to single company or individ
ual
They only ask what they are willing
to give. Just respectful treatment il
the industries of the place, recognized
as factors and not as slaves.
We thank our friends all over tn,
country for their unfinching fidelity
We want to depose every enemy anC
put them out of Office as fast as oppor
tunity offers and we will They mus
