The Rusk County News accuses
the Pauola Watchman and the
Chronicle with tryiug to re elect-
ed. Kilgore by abusing and mis
representing Col. Jones. * 'This
comes with bad grace Irom an or-
gan of Jones that leaped into the
arena yelling “chicanery and un-
fair dealing” at the outset. We
are only showing up tho records
of tho two men. Jones the pen-
sion giver and Kilgore the watch
dog of tho Treasury.
Kilgore is a man of deeds as
well as words. On last Saturday
he prevented the passage of un-
necessary private appropriation
bills to the extent of between
$40,000 and $50,000. In that one
act he saved enougli of the public
money to pay his salary for ten
years. Not only that, but he is
working to establish a principle to
ihe effect that all unnecessary ap-
propriations should be stopped
Kilgo.ie is the right man in the
right place.—Greenville Banner.

Let all democrats attend their

t-ake an interest therein, and thus
secure that harmony of action
that will insure the heartiest sup-
port of the action of the coanty
and other conventions. Be there.
We beseech you,bethere.
HE CERTAINLY DID. '
We understand that Col. Jones
is denying the fact that he asked
his friends at the LongYiew con-
vention to break up the conven-
tion .without making a nomina-
tion and let him go before the
people. Now we did n’t hear him
say so. But we heard such talk at
the convention, and we haye
heard as reliable a gentleman as
was in that -convention eay that
such a request was made by
Jones, and he was a strong Jones
delegate and had every opportu-
nity to know whereof he affirmed.
We don’t believe Col. Jones will
deny that he or some of bis friends
made such a suggestion and re-
quest.

THE POSITIONS.
There is aa immense and con-
stantly accumulating surplus in
the^iational treasury. Such is
not only dangerous, but it is legal
ized robbery to continue such a
course. Two remedies are pre-
posed. Democracy says reduce
taxation on the very necessaries
of life to free trade if necessary
and keep the tax on tobacco and
whisky. The republicans say
take the tax off wbisky, keep it
on food and clothing and squander
■ he surplus in pensions and pri-
vate donations etc. The union
labor party says it is only a side
issue.
