The following was not written tor publication being a private letter from Dr. Churchell of Nevada to Mr. Murphy of this city. It con- whose observance | tains sentiments could be made profitable to the de- | mocracy of Missouri. Dr. Churchell | writes: Having read your candid state- | ment ot facts in the Kansas City | Times of the 2d ult., 1 have taken | the liberty of addressing you, if only | to say that the Democratic party | needs more men who dare to defend | democratic principles against dema- | | goguery and shysterism. It is a notorious fact that the people ot southwest Missouri especially, have been humbugged and misled in the matter ot tariff by designing political tricksters. It has been clearly shown that the object has been to secure office in- stead of laboring to advance the best interests of the people. In one section of the country where it was thought the people were more di- rectly interested in the proper pro- tection of home industries the po- litical tricksters would adyocate pro- tection, and in another where they were manly indirectly interested in the matter, the same person would advocate tree trade by such schemes and trickery elections have been car- ried for men who have missrepresen- ted the people for many years. The study of modern politicians 18 and has been how to prejudice the people and then how to get the ben- efit of that prejudice. Party lines are drawn in a canyass for an office and when the office is secured it be- comes a notorious tact that party lines are ignored except in contested election cases which are for the pur- pose ot keeping the minds of the people at home diverted from some new steal in congress, and to keep the lines drawn so that they can be successfully deluded and defeated in the next campaign. The rights ot the people are tirely disregarded and ignored when political schemers wish to an office: but they sometimes some insignificant office to a who is identified with the masses en- secure give man merely as a blind. The great misfortune of the coun- try is that the congress have for more thana quarter of acentury been in the hands ot one class of men, and that lawyers, and unfortunately the jority of those elected are the of that class. Now it was intended by the foun all clas- ses—every legitimate industry in the | country should be equally represen- ted in the government of the states and the nation. then there would be a ballance of power that would effect- ally prevent corruption. One interest ate legislatures and class 1s mas wors | ders ot this government that would operate as a ballance against {another and a just and equitable compromise would be the result. No one class of n.en should rule a j State or nation especially the first el- | ements of a class who have | brought disaster upon the country. | Under the system that was long | since inaugurated by the tricksters of of both the Democratic and Repube | lican parties honest men are | deterred from making a fight toi i | the people by the array of rascals, or | | are slaughtered m their own party. always either | {In tact honesty has been urged for and rascality | | claimed as peculiarly fitting to a per- | son for a position oi honor. Oh de- ; | mocracy, what has not been done in | | thy name? | The organizers and high office and trickery | manipultors H of conventions claim to be the party _and then dictate who shall be the | | nominee, and then manly through i the press which sometimes belong to ' | them apply the party lash causing | men who boast of freedom and the { right of suffrage to hold their noses | and shut their eyes while voting tor ; men they would not associate with or | trust in an ordinary busines transac- ; tion t Conventions are schools of rascal- “ity and a plan to keep people trom choosing who shall serve or repre— 2 i} men, j are te have the control of the Also keepsin stock a we | sent them. And to say that the} people are, or have been represented by legislatures or congress within the past quarter of a century is a misrepresentation and an insult to) ~ par- | the masses composing both ties. Once in two masses are granted the great lege of going to the polls and voting or four years prive- as some shyster dictates, while the | the of present, honest and worthy portion n lawyer element si powerless to detend themselves. Denominational keep up a division among the people in the of preachers teligicus matters and class pohtical shysters 1 haye mentioned ! keep divisions among the people by | fraud and rascality. What we most need 1s sometimes thought and action. I tear that the people are losing their of individuality, | independence thought—the true spirit of patriotism that characterized the founders and defenders of our government. But 1 cannot believe it. I yet look for the people to rise ia their might and not only assert but defend their rights, ignoring partisan feelings for the time at least, to establish the people in power, and also establish a system of rewards for honesty and devotion to principle, for temperance, industry and all the virtues and characteristics that combine to make man noble—godly. Let the ballots be spotless as the paver upon which they are printed or written, and cast by a people who are not siaves to be no as pure and corrupt men, and ‘here will need of Congress squandering the people’s money in inyestigations of “frauds’’ and ‘‘steals’’ and cutions,”’ which are only a vretext to rob the treasury of our govern- ment With a system ot rewards for honesty, and a switt punishment for **prose- every t -cal high or low, there - ‘hing for men oa -hing else want- ing, -v would not be | anno_ -amor tor prohibi- tion oi ing lhquors, or any 1c influence for right, would, as other evi which Tha mentioned, nearly as possible, prohibit all the evils which are now complained of, and a new era of prosperity and en- | hghtenment would dawn upon our | country, which we can never hope to reach until the present system is overthrown. Ido not advocate of parties but the emancipation of the people trom the bondage in which corrupt the overthrow they have so long been held by the | most corrupt men of modern times.

I have been a life-tong Democrat, and def that was the lot of all Confederate soldiers, and i shali continue to fight tor what I believe to be the truce principle of Democracy, and a tree and honest government. This has been a hurried penning ot the thoughts as they have crowded into my mind, which I hope will be a sufficient excuse tor the random letter. I enclose some printed matter which will enable vou to better derstand my view on the tariff. etc. Would be giad to correspond with you. Yours trely, A.
