of the state? No. not for tnese
reasons are the Democrats Of Marshall
Going to support our chief executive
they are bound to the administration
nv stronger ties. We have this on
the authority Of the Editor Colonel
himself
He tells the people Of Marshall that
thew are going to commend Patterson
because he has given two or three
more or less deserving Democrats Oh
tho, county a slice Of onacial pie, Be
cause. forsooth, Patterson has aP-
Do,pted a deputy fertilizer inspector

Wa have no doubt that the average
Marshall county politicians dearly loves
ME. to him It is probably the sweetest
morsal that ever touched the lips Oh
mortal. The thought Of pie origh5ens
and cheers his longest and most mel

unbearable and a paradise that dio
not taste and smell of pie, where pie
was not the exclusive and plenteous
diet would hold ont no attractions TOT

All this is probably true, but 1t does
not follow that the politicians consti-
tute the bulk OF Marshall county >
/ nonplation. We are certain that the
contrary is the case. and we deny tnat
beoause the Governor. has fed a rev
hungry politicians with pie and has
: catered the vanity of others with
emnty titles, that the Democracy OF
that county will endorse his admins
tration. The Democracy OF Marsnail
county cannot be bribed nor bougnt
with patronage nor the promise tnere'

Like the Democrats of other couh'
ties of the state those OF Marsnaii
county are wholly indifferent to tht
nersonnel of the deputy fertilizer III
, spector or the Governors STAN MOI
are they particularly concerned as :,

: national good roads convention. Bu'
j, thew are concerned as to the quaheS

II We do not believe that the Demo

n auenced in their judgment of the Pat
a terson administration because rev
e crumbs Of patronage have fallen 10 Tn
e politicians of that county. we ar
reasonably certain that they VIII ho'
