When our name was first mention- ed as a suitable person to represent | Shelby. this congressional district in the National convention we determined not to be a candidate in the com- mon acceptation of the term by ask ing the party to elect us, but to leave the democrats free to select their representative unsolicited. But in view of the unseemly fight which has been made upon us through the Bates County Democrat, the Rich Hill Enterprise and by secret circu lars sent out over the county assail- ing our personal and political char- acter, our only course lay in asking | | an endorsement by the democrats of | Bates county, for whem we have Lattled for years, in season aud out, our only object and desire being the success of that party and the pro- mulgation of its principles. We were greatly surprised by these assaults from the source whence they emauated, for Mr. Wade | had assured us that he would not Oppose us in avy manner. termined to fight us we had a right to expect fair and manly treatment from a contemporary whom we had always treated with the utmost re- spect and courtesy. In the warfare they are conducting they have not picked upon a man for whom they claim any superior merit or any | strong claims upon the democratic party, but are groping hopelessly in the dark asking the party in the county to slaughter an humble dem ocrat, for no other reason than to gratify their personal spleen. We do not lay claim to superiority over any good democrat who has al- ways fought for the success of those principles, but we do not believe there is a representative Cemccrat in Bates county who will permit his name to be used at this late date by these parties for the sole purpose of humiliating the editor of this paper. The argument they have placed in the mouths of their henchmen who are industriously peddling it over the county is, “that, in view of the newspaper fight being waged, the convention should ignore all the pa- pers and take up another man.” This would be the consumation of the object for which they are fight- ing. We are not responsible for any newspaper war, and we promise our readers and the no intention of entering into a per- sonal newspaper controversy with either of these parties. Neither do we believe the democrats through- out the county will endorse such an unfair, unjust and unwarranted war- fare upon us. We are glad to say that the nar- row minded, pusillanimous condact of these two papers are not endorsed by those papers conducted upon the broad-gauge plan, such asthe Rich Hill Review, daily and weekly, Fos- ter Index, Amsterdam Chief and Adrian Journal. Even the republi- can papers of the county, the Record and Rich Hill Tribune, have been just enough to ignore these person- al assaults upon a brother editor even though a political opponent. The name of T. L. Harper, of Bates county, will be presented to the democratic state convention for the office of railroad commissioner Mr. Harper has been a resident of Bates county for a number of years aud has held a number of positiens of honor and trust, in all of which he has demeaned himself with strict fidelity. He held the office of county clerk for four years and made one of the best clerks the eounty ever had. {n thus submitting his name to the democratic convention he does | not lay especial claim upon the fact of his having been a railroad man and lost his leg in the cause, nor of his having been a prosperous farmer and stockman for years, nor his reputation as a merchant, but be- cause he is a lifelong democrat, worthy and competent in every re- spect to perform the duties of the office.
