HONEST DEMOCRACY.

Hon. Thos. E. Watson, Thomson, Ga.
Dear Sir: The article on page 8 OF
your Jeffersonian Of November 14th
contains an article on the money ques-
ton which fills the bill. You go to
the Democratic National Convention
and get that doctrine adopted, and
endorsed, and we can carry the coun-
try, with you or Bryan, or Folk, or
Tom johnson, or Governor Johnson,
of Minnesota, and, what is Of more
Importance than any mans interest,
that system Of money would be worth
more to the country than all the
wars since the Revolutionary War.
The present system is the most dis
honest and expensive ever invented
to rob the people and enrich the enc
mics Of the people. 1t is astonishing
that the Americans are SO ig-
norant as to submit to it so long.
You say it is Jarnagin's letter. |
supposed it was editorial. Anyhow
that is what ninety-nine out Of hun
dred would endorse if adopted.

Dear Mr.. Watson: Enclosed please
find check to renew my subscription
to the Weekly Jeffersonian.
I admire the way in which you net
tied President Lindsay. I am one Of
the many carriers in Georgia who did
not 60 to the Atlanta convention that
would have gone if you had been one
Of the speakers. For long time I
have though there was something rot
ten up the branch, is why I have not
taken more interest in the Rural Car
riers' Organization. It is right fun
ny to me how he wanted to accuse
you of wanting to bring politics into
the R. L. C. A, when it was so plain
to me that he had been used as a
eats paw by certain unscrupulous
politicians.
Believing that the time is coming
when credit will be given to whom
credit is due,
remain,
Yours always for the right,

Dear Sir: I rejoice at your fight on
the national banking system. There
lie all our troubles. Being the son
Of an old greenbacker who fought
for and supported Peter Cooper for
president in 1875, I am conseerated
to greenbaeks, the only scientific cur
reney Of our nation. ] believe If the
Populists will get together and frame
a platform with the following planks,
we can make great fight:
l. Direct legislation.
2. Election of United States sena-
tors by the people.
3. Government ownership Of rail-
roads.
4. Postal savings banks.
5. Parcels post.
6. Issuance Of money by the gov
eminent, not national banks.

form would be enough

POUNDING A PREACHER.

Twas the of Thanksgiving; the sky all murley
Presaging the annual downfall of Turkey:
The flock of the faithful had finished their greeting
And gone from the place of the weekly Prayermeeting:
The kind hearted Pastor, dear Brother Harder
Was taking notes on the state of the harder,
When, bark, from without, what a noise alarming:
An army army at the castle storming,
They rushed through the doorway confusion confoundg
And never did preacher receive such POUNDING!
The soldiers consisted of grey headed BROTHERS,
Wee laSSieS and laddies and brave-heared Mothers,
All bearing queer arms and a strange ammunition
Exciting the Pastors surprise and suspicion.
But alas, TO the preachers assistance,
Therefore he captured with little resistance
The APPLES, like grape shot and canister flying,
Fell thick all about every corner supplying;
Oranges golden crisp pickles, tomatoes,
Most exquisite sauces, fine fishes mot bony,
And five hundred pipe-stems Of fresh Macaroni,
Besides other goodies a set of fine dishes,
All showered about by the breath of GOOD WISHES.
The Parsonage roared from cellar to rafter
With the music of speech and the magic of laughter
Till the skies all cleared (which first murkey)
Nouchsafng fair to the Thanksgiving Turkey:
And now since the preacher looks a full larder,
None will preach better and will preach HARDER
