To tlm voters of Berrien county who
believe in tbciilliuucu demand* us
sot forth in the Ocnlu platform.
A l*l<m for Turner.

district, hie elute and the whole
country, notwithstanding his un
swerving Integrity, hie great indti
once in congress, Ids acknowledged
ability to servo the people satisfue
torily and his faithful attention to
duly, there is a faction in the elev
enth district wlio, infatuated by per,
sonal friendship, manacled by the
iron builds of prejudice'for a ulrang-
cr, goaded on by the silly whisper
ings of sophistry Unit frequent
change of public officials and servant*
is lire spirit and genius of the Amer
ican republic, would depose him for
an untried limn who, if elected, would
naturally waste Ins term in getting
gcqililliited and in making a
record for himself, just as have all
the how men from (leorgia Ha' pres
ent term—Judge I.uwhoii, Hoi, Moses,
jjfr jjjorelt, Hols. Livingston, Winn
and Watson.
Kollow-eltisens of the eleventh
district, listen to the voice of reason
for one moment, The gentlemen
W.lioen'lmmes have been mentioned
pro the peers of Judges Atkinson
pm! Rolands in every respect ami
they will frankly admit their iiinbil-
ily to take positions alongside of
Lester, Hlmrnl, Crisp and Tumor,
Isn’t IhiH conclusive argument that
Judges Atkinson ami Huberts
conuin’t do so either.
Again, fellmv-eilisens of the elev
enth district, let us present another
phase of the situation. With the
people of the smith threatened with
republican domination, bayonet su
pervision of the ballot box, a per-
jielimllou of the burdens imposed by
tlm MoKililuy protective larilf which
tends only to the Impoverishment of
our people, Is it a piopor time to send
raw.recruits to tlm front to face the
thoroughly drilled forces of the ene
my? There is but one honest answer
to the question and tlial, emphatic-
plly no. No, this is no time for ex
periment or change.
Let us learn a lemon from otirrn-
cmioH. If frequent change of public
men had been tlm policy of the re-
publican party Neerelary Blaine
would never have written his twen
ty-five years’ exporlenee in congress.
He would have been given one term
peifqrce of jkm'hoiiuI popularity, a

Wo desire to present to the people of

It Is well known that since the election
of did democratic executive committee
of tjils county two’years ago there have
sprung u)i questions that old not, nt that
time, have a place In our polities. At
tlial Unto lie questions were asked ns to

necessary to lit a man fora position on

izipgf i his committee, D<nf*t you
think sutdi action on the part of the
county alliance a hit of supereroga
tion? What would yon think of the
Odd Fellows’ organization at Adel
or the Knights of Pythias organiza
tion at Tifton if one.or,'both of thorn
should adopt a resolution requesting
your Mr. John I). 'Patterson, presi
dent Of the Berrien county alliance,
to call a muss meeting of the citizens
for tliu purpose of reorganizing the
county alliance’s roll of officers,
himself included? Don’t you think
il would he a hit more than the du
ties imposed upon such organizations
by their charters, yea supererogatory?
The Berrien county alliance is guil
ty of just Hiirdi supererogation when
it undertakes to supervise or cut out
work for the county democratic exec
utive committee. The two organiza
tions lire separate and distinct, both
in origin and purpose) hence; neither
is hound to respect the resolutions or
edicts of tlie other.
You say the comity alliance be
Moved that a majority of the commit
tee was not in accord with the senti
tneiits held by the musses of the peo
ple of the county. Don’t you think
this is uu assumption of a fact with
out proof, when tlie alliance repre
sents not exceeding one-third of the
voters of tlio county? Upon wlmt
does the county alliance base Us be
lief? Has the masses of the people,
the county democracy, applied to the
nonnly alllitiieo for assistance lo over
throw the creature it 1ms created? If
so, we have never heard of if and we
think wu are a pretty clever news
gal heror.
The truth ip, friends, llie alliance
is not, a political organization; and,
indeed, its very nature forbids that, it
should be. When it started nut on
llie political warpath it got into deep
water, and the further II goes in tlint,
direction the nearer it gets to drown
ing depth. We advocated the alli
ance denliiratioii of principles long
before it reochod Berrien comity or
either of yon hecame members, and
know flint partisan politics were to
he eschewed by llie members thereof,
uiiil everyone upon entering the
threshold of the organization were
iissuriKt that it would not interfere
with their religious nr political
creeds. But, for the sake of argil-'
mint, say (lint the adoption of the
Ocala platform by t he order was per-
inissablu by the alliance deolnrulioti
of principles and constitution; even
then don't you think it is time
