Mr. Editor: - For the information
and remembrance Of the Democratic
voters OF Calhoun county allow me,
through the Chronicle, to review in
comparison the candidates for the eff.
ces to be filed by their votes at the
coming election
For The Office of, Representative in
the State Legislature we have two ex
cellent gentlemen with pure hearts
and clean hands. The one presented
by the Democratic party, the other
10y the Republican. The one is a
conscientious Democrat the other an
equally conscientious Republican.
Hr. Kenney, the Democratic can
didate, is an experienced legislator. a
practical parliamentarian, acquainted
with all sthe complex devices made
use of, in a legislative body, with an
extensive acquaintance II everi
county in the state, on terms Of
closest intimacy and personal friend
shin with many who will doubtless be
returned ~ members of the next Leg
islature, a genial, jolly, wholo-souled
representative man and gentleman.
With his knowledge of the WINS and
hows, his industry, push, persever
ance aud energy; with the prestige
that all these known qualifications
and facts will give him, it, would he
no reflection upon any citizen to say
that Mr.. Kenney is tie best qualified
man IN the county to iii the 2osition
with credit to himself and honor t.
The people by whose votes he must be
elected.
To the argument being made in my
Part of the. county by the Republi-
cans in favor Of Mr. Smith that he
being Republican, would have more
influence with RepublIcaa Legisla-
tnre than MIR Keuney have only
this I" say that it is by 80 means GER
tain that the next Legislature will be
Republican, but If it should be, M.
kenuoJ's experience a,d impotence,
If YOU please, against Mr.. Smiths in.
experience and native modesty,
would outweigh any advantages Mr..
smith could hope to have from the
fact that he is Republican. The
truth IS, until Mr. Smith can SHOW
himself able to compel the jattoniior
aud respect Of brother Republicans
'vho may, or may not, be in the next
legislature, he wonld he far more
likely TO he treated by them az kind
AZ "hoand boy at a husking," than to
he buoAted up the ladder Of fame by
j3aious rivals for political honors
Any way the GranlsyiIIe News has
said that MIR kenney has way Of
having bills, in,which he il Interested,
past by Republican legislature even
when he is moi SO much as member
OF the body.
For Commissioner Of County
Court. we have two gentlemen each
reputed TO be Of excellent character
and qualifications. OF the one can
speak from personal knowledge, OF
tns other am willing to believe all
The pretty things his party says Of
him bot Mr.. Stump has been "tried
and found lrue-weigheden the bal.
Ancc AMI not found wanting" For
County Supt. we have on The Repub.
licau side gentleman whom the
Granlsville News delights lo call
Honest Dan StuIlcr, hciwecn whom
aud heaven there H. not 81 much rs a
heir and ON lhe Democratic -iiy we
have G. Justice Gnjner Iuthand
Justice wall go hand in hand and old
honesty will bring op lhc rear
There ia NOT nnc rcaspu upon earth
Nhy Democrats ut ibis riccli ,n should
nDt vote their ticket. uulos. they have
experienced change of heart ami
wish to hang their gate on The other
pet
