docket in the Napoleon court. Mr..
G.. b.. jenkins read q letter from
Judge Donnelly which told clo-
quently Of the character of Thomas
jefferson and the great motives
which prompted him to take up the
cause of the common people and
the triumph of the principles which
he advocated. He cited the great
achievements of the party during
the early history of the nation
while the foundations for the ma
ticn were being laid. 1t was JEFF
ferson Is m:nd which conceived the
broad and all important clauses
in the constitution Of the United
States, and to the principles which
he advocated is due the success OF
the nation. jefferson. in his first
inaugural address said, Equal and
exact justice to all men of what
ever state or persuasion, religious
ca political. Peace with all ma
tions, entangling alliances with
none. ~ These were the principles
OF the first democrat, it was upon
these that the ration was builded
and upon these it must endure.
Hon. ID. r. Crissingcr was the
, next speaker, his subject being
"Democracy's Achievement. Mr. &.
Crissingcr pointed out that every
achievement of tie nation up un-
I'd the time the nation was wrent
asunder by the great conflict over
state IS rights and slavery, were ac-
accomplished by the democrats. 1t
would be impossible to enumerate
the things which Democracy has
accomplished or to estimate the
good which has resulted from the
accomplishment. The Democratic
party educated d nation of patriots
men who were ready to die for
their nation and who loved their
country next 20 their God. The
democrats had q merchant marine
and had no entangling foreign al
liances when the Republican party
secured control of affairs. One of
the achievements which the party
must secure ;,l the future is the
solution of the race question. The
time is approaching and rapidly too
said Mr.. Crissineer, "when the
Democratic party will be consider,
ed the white Mans Party and
upon it must rest the responsibility
Of determining what disposition to
make of the Fourteenth and Ff.
leenth Amendments. "
Mr.. Crissingcr spoke of the dem
ocratic principles which have beer
adopted and enacted into leg;Sia
ton by the republicans, and OF
the tendency toward commercial
politics rather than craftsmanship
He condemned the legislative Of
ficials for their covering before thu
executRs and listening to the mon
ey powers for fear they shall LOSE
the offices they hold. He declared
the craftsmanship and patriotism
are fast disappearing from Wash
ingion and in their stead, greed
graft Gnd party favor are beins
planted. Mr.. Crissinger said, ~
Democracy Is to triumph again, i
Marion county is To return to he
first love, the democratic part,

hanging onto the party for thei
own good only, who are democrat
only when they want some offic

Our offices III inc court house hav
