SPECIAL 10 tie Macs
Your correspondent got entirely be-
hind with my reports last week owing
to the fact that / had an overtaxa-
tion of my mental faculty during the

pressive it must have caused my OIL
gestive apparatus to fail to perform
its proper functions, and the cOnse-
quence was l had severe case of la
grippe. am slightly disfgured but
am still in the ring with handful of
trumps. The names of the cards l
hold are Kelly, Long, Curtis. John
ston and Tate, in which in this game
expect to play high low jack in the
game and not lose a single man. Per-
haps IN some sections of our country
your candidates as we'll as some of
ours, went down in defeat, but let me
cheer You up as one who has Your de-
/ feat at heart It was impossible for
all of you to be nominated. You know
only one could stand and now the vote
is polled and the count taken from the
face of the returns, which clearly
showed your defeat, and the same was
regular and fair. and was proud, in
deed, to hear all of you, when the
nominees were declared by me on the
18th, express satisfaction for the nom
inees who we're the winners in the
primary contest. hope no defeated
candidate will attempt to bolt and
split the party and ruin themselves
politically for life, but trust he will
rally to the front and help me hoist
the white flag of peace and harmony
and let his political light shine aud be
a bright shining star that hereafter
will never die. l don't think in all
my life l ever saw men take their de-
feat and display more loyalty for the
party success and victory than these
two defeated candidates did, and /
will say the voters have these two
gentlemen in mind and will no doubt
surprise them two years hence with
the nomination, so don't fail to lend
me helping land. need your CO.
operation to help us crown the party
nominees with victory in August, and
not lose single man / will make
point to visit your locality at the
proper time and see each of you in
person, aud all grievances must be
overcome aud wiped out. and you must
possess forgiving spirit towards your
fellowman. This is enough on this
point just now.
