But since everything but a Republi- eiiu turns to a Democrat these days v.e had a righ to presume that Clay had evoluted before he passed away. Seriously, however, we would like to know when did the majority sub mit to the minority? As for our part we have always voted the Democratic ticket. We were reared at the breast of Demo cracy, so to speak, and by the Eternal we do not yield our right to speak out for the men of our choice in our party. There is one thing certain and that is that no one by exposing our ignorance, by ridicule or by terming us assistant Republicans can run us out of the Democratic party. To our mind it is the only political organiza tion for a Southern white man to ad here to and while it does some fool ish things and has some “bene heads” in it we are content to put up with the foolishness and stay with the “bone heads” rather than fly to evils we know not of. We are inside and are going to stay inside, but we are going to have our say—not that we think it will influence anyone but be cause we believe we are right—it it smashes the slate, break-s down the platform and rais' , 8 the devil in gen eral. information i rPal ^ 00(1 P ll P er tnat Tap Ledger Curry are at home from Fork Union t er both put in applications for with- ney Ledger. wants, however, we suggest that it; Military Academy.
