Instead of being a statesman, as be bas the undoubted ability, and cred itably representing his democratic county, he is playing the part ofa demezogue, and giving encourrge- ment and help to theenemy. He }should know that no man bas the elements of greatness who cannot stand defeat, that no one man is greater than his party and his own actions have demonstrated the wis- dom of the majority in electing Mr. Ward speaker. Mr. Whitecotton will not only learn these facts, but the good democrats of old Monroe will rebuke him for his treachery and treason. He bas shown a dis- position to defeat the democratic party while remaining a member of that party. He has committed political hara-kiri. 6 The Democratic Central Commit tee met at the court house Saturday, pursuant to call of chairman, and set Saturday, Feb. 25th, as the day of the county convention to nominate a candidate for school eccmntssioner.
