The weekly true Democrat. (Tallahassee, Fla.) 1905-1912, 1908-09-11

The True Democrat has oft times
called attention to the great injustice
that has been done Colonel Sidney 7.
Wales, in refusing an honorable settle
ment with him. after he had given
years Of time and many thousands Of
dollars Of his good money in collecting
Florids's old Indian War Claim, under
contract which was recognized by all
State officials up 10 the days Of Cover
nor William Sherman jennings, who
conceived the idea and worked the
means, it appears, to prevent a settle
ment TO Colonel WALES, and which
work made the good State Of Florida a
gigantic repudiator' of a most honest
debt, and cast a black shadow over our
citizenship, which will stand until the
great wrong and injustice shall have
been corrected. In another column of
this issue of the True Democrat will be
found an interesting interview with
Captain John B. Johnston, editor Of
Dade County Democrat, taken from
the Jacksonville Metropolis, on the sub
jet. In it he shows the true man he is,
in apologizing for the part he took as q
legislator in unconsciously perpetrating
that gross wrong on both Colonel
Wales and the people Of Florida, in 60
ing into that conspiracy caucus in 1908,
which bound the State to the dishonest
position Of a repudiator. Many times
we have charged that it was done and
accomplished by a caucus, but it was
denied very weakly and the charge now
stands proven by one who was in and
took part in it, though it is now to his
credit that he confesses it and pledges
10 do what he can tie correct the wrong.
The State Constitution divides the
State government into three branches,
Legislative and Judicial
neither is supposed to interfere with
the other This interview of Captain |
Johnson shows that a conspiracy was
by the head Of the govern
ment, and that it put him in the front
rank, for his own selfish purposes, for
very soon after the injustice had been
done andrepudation was brought about,
On the streets Of Jacksonville in
speech, telling the dear people that they
ought to elect him U. s. Senator be-
;ause he had saved them many thou
lands Of dollars in preventing the pay
nent Of big fee out Of the Indian War
Claim. Now, that Captain Johnston
las been 80 honest, frank and manly as
o tell US how it was done, to the great
injury 10 the fair name Of our great
State, we hope some others of the forty
nay also Unburden their minds, and
how the people how easy it is to be
'Ooled and to Disgrace a State, when
me determined man uses the power, in
lis hands, through a number Of men, in
caucus, TO disgrace by reputation.

operation Of the lady's friends.
As you will see In this issue. there
are a number of candidates, but only q
few seem to be doing any real work,
and even these are far behind the lead

TINS is so Why, simply because the
other candidates and their friends are
not doing the work that Miss Stouta-
mire and her friends are doing. If the
tagging ones would-either personally or
by letter solicit subscriptions TO the
True Democrat, and see to It that back
payments are sent in, they would soon
see how rapidly the distance between
themselves and the now leading candi-
date would diminish.
