True Democracy.

The principles of Democracy
are eternal, and while temporary
: condftions may affect the i1nme-
diate situation, the same ideals
acfuate real Democrats as in the
4 days of Thomas Jefferson.
We have come across an inter
view had by the correspondent
of: The Monroe Watchman with
Hon. John ]. Davis in 1890,
which is so applicable to existing

The purity Of the ballot box, the pun
