WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 16,1896 GUV. SYMPATHIZES WITH DEFEATED CANDIDATES To the un/or ftj cte victims of deluded voters, usually called dftated candidates, this lette is sympathetic illy ir scribed. "Dearly beloved brethren, Vie scripture moveth us in sundry places." You have also been moving to and fro in sundry places lately, but we scarcely venture to hope that the scriptural injunction had any thing io do with those movements. We don ht much if any of you carried along any scripture at all, either in your satchels or your souls. We fear the utmost heieht, breadth at.d depth c your piety consisted in saying grace over yaller leg chicken pie. But ail this is not our purpose. We desire to extend to you our heartfelt sympathy io this the day of your grievous affliction. Weare able todo so. We've been there, right there. We kaow all about that gentle encouragement given to you when you broached the subject as to whether the public pap cow could be so led that 'you could get to suck at that sweet teat. We know how your hopes riz with the encouragement, and the little ex? penses necessary to the canvass dwindled into nsignificance and you only wondered that Dave Chandler didn't jump at the idea of furnishing you a new snit, with a portable hat thrown in. (May be he did.) Weknow just bow you toached up and with light heart, and bouyaot hopes, and xxx spirits, and a choice smirk, you moved out among the dear people. We know how sociable, and cordial, and delightfully encouraging they were to you until you really begun to com? mence to think that this was the very best world you ever did live io, and the cleverest people you ever were among, and j*ou really made up your mind not to die until you j couldn't help it any longer. We know how you got nearly ali the votes there ras to get except a few, aud even those would give you a watermelon or something to compensate for your disappointment. We know how shrewd? ly you discovered something on 'totber fellow and how sorry you were to tell it and how sympathetically the voter would say that that was not his way of sinning and you thought you'd welded bim on to your cause until .? 1 well, until election day. We know all about that feeling of exultation that you'd been around and fooled so many j of those old wool bat, one gallus, hayseed, horoy-banded sons of-guns, into voting for you, and in one fell night to make the shockingly mortifying discovery that the dad-burned old fools had fooled you aud kept you fooled for over two months. 0, dog-gon. Some of you based your hopes upon being well-known and found you were too darned well known. Then some thought the*; were mighty well acquaint? ed with the people and found the people warn't acquainted with you worth a cent-or a rote. Well, brethren, you can console yourselves with the fact that you and your stock have been better fed than you would have been it home. You have made several week's board out of the dear people and you have had a good opportunity of viewing the country and of seeing what a very noe, large country you live in and that-er-rer-don't want you in office. You have also learned some things. Some of you have learned that there is no longer any factional fight among the good people of Sumter county and you have paid dear for being such gol darned fools as not to have known it before. We did'nt give such as you office, but to compensate you we'll j guarantee that Sumter county will immedi? ately, by a large majority, vote for you, to go for iife, ioto- innoccuous desuetude-or Heaven-the Lord being willin'. Others of yon have learned to quit voting for A. C. Haskell any more in 1890. Some of you have found that "The Ring" is broke and there ain't any of the right material here to solder it any more, God be praised. A few, perhaps, hare learned that traducing your opponents or any attempt at defaming the name of another is a mighty poor ((weepin" to electioneer with and mighty poor bait to catch voters, whether used by yourself or your friends. (There are some who ain't candidates that might learn the same lesson, with great profit.) All of yon have learned that the voters of Sumter county from the doctors to the diggers, from the rich merchant to the poor miller, both brain and brawn hare exercised as nice a discrimination and evinced as sound judgment as was possible in their choice of offisials. They simply sur? prised you boys. It's a sorter of trick they have, kinder rons in the family. Well, good bye brethren. Be good boys and if you have any idea of recuperating and training for next race, why begin right now by living righteous, sober and industrious lives. It will come bard at first but keep trying and if we j don't put you in office we'll ail pray that an omnipotent and miraculous power may be able to save you at last. Good bye, come and see us again day after - 2 years ! hence. Guv. j P. S. We said above that the voters exer- I cised "as nice a discrimination as was possi- j ble," Well, it is said that President Andrew Johnson, when a boy, moved out to Ten? nessee and wrote to bis father, who wa3 a| chronic office-seeker, "come out here, Dad, ; mighty mean men gits offlice out here."
