the minority. They are
ali in their liower for their 1
pet, Muse, but it will all bo uf
no avail, for the free graas men
are as firm us u rock. They
are the boue uud sinew of the
country; they are composed of
the most influential citisens,
ami are a working aud reading
class. As to the lease law men,
I have aught to say, oulv you
can piek tueiu out by tliefr dai-
ly avocation. They make their
living by other means thau by
hard work. They, as a class,
stand in with the monopolies
aud rings which oppress the
poor men of the country. These
persons ure men of wealth, and
on Hatunluys or other days at
gatherings you cun see them in
siiuads Tookiug very solemn,
while we free grass Democrats
are jubilant over the situation.
But the Waxy says there is no
such thing as a Free Graas
Democrat. 1 suppose that boss
whitewash editor thinks the
country plugs. a>4 he terms
lis, don't know w hat democracy
is. If such us lie advocates is
dei-.oeracy, 1 will admit that it
ain't the kind we want. The
people are opposed to the new
process of bringing out candi
dates, and I believe I might
safely say that one-half of the
signers that went from Allen
ure for free-grass and will vote
for Mack. Again, 1 believe
that every man who signed
thut or any other petitiou, un*
der tl'impression that Muse
hud <ot yet become u candidate,
signed it under u false repre-
sentation, and should uot allow
themselves to be free-booted in
any such a way, but cast their
vote for a man* that is opposed
to such scull-duggery, ana who
will legislate iu the interest of
the people. We will give him
a fine majority at Allen.

Ei . Democrat: I notice an
editorial iu the Democrat of the
17th, giving an account of a con-
versation between myself and
('apt. Boyd, in which Captain
Boyd is quoted as making this
kind of a proposition to me:
Tliut if 1, John K. Smith, would
support Muse in the Eastern
portion of the county, "he" or
"they" would pull down the
other candidates for assessor,
and elect me." I will here

re-call to memory any conversa-

myself relative to Mr. Muse's
claims.
But since this matter has as-
sumed the uspect it has, I here-
by, unreservedly, without fear
or favor, declare that on or
about the lust of July, 18M,
(this being before Mr. Muse
announced for the legislature)
Capt. Boyd said to me in the
C. C. Bank that if myself or I.
J. Rude, either one. would come
out for the Legislature on the
free grass platform, against H.
C. Mack, "we will take off the
other candidates for local rep-
resentative and support either
of you." I answered that I was
a candidate for Assessor, and
didn't care to change. And I
will state further that a mem-
ber of the legislature being an
