Show THE democratic STATE COMMITTEE ON or about october let 1896 we called on the distinguished chairman of the above named committee and informed the gentleman to the effect that it was our in intention to give a banquet and reception cep tion and at the same time we wanted to deliver a little speech for the benefit of the party founded by the immortal sage of monticello provided the state committee would render a little financial assistance towards helping to defray the expenses of the same but we were informed by the scholarly chairman of the committee that inasmuch as the committee did not have any money on hand to pay the actual running expenses of the campaign that it would be utterly impossible for the committee to 0 assist in helping to give the ban bet wow now we have no desire nor any inclination whatever to criticism criticise critic ise the actions of any of the members of the committee for it is our honest opinion that all of them have a perfect right to run ran the machine to suit themselves and we hope that none of them will want to class us with the kickers nor with the sons of the kickers but we do honestly believe that it was entirely entirely Y wrong and unfair for the committee to donate the sum sam of twelve dollars to the colored mens bryan silver club after they had absolutely refused to comply to our huat ble request of course we admit that they have the assist the colored mens bryan silver club or any other club but bat we are willing to confess that we have never heard of the abovementioned above mentioned club but bat we do believe that on or about october the ath the day the committee forked over the twelve dollars that A J parks who is at the present presen t time boarding with sheriff hardy ardy vind and a few other tinhorn tin horn gamblers did run a cheap gamb ling club dub over S G wilsons Wil sons saloon a al oon but they called it the colored mens mena free silver gambling club instead of the colored mens bryan free silver club and if the committee contributed any money to the members of that club clu b with the expectation or with the hope that it would be expended towards helping i to further farther the election of mr bryan then all we have to say is that they made a grand mistake because it is is a well known fact that mr parks and all the other elegant and d refined gentle men who connected with his duh dab frere ere au all zed hot aultom erB ilia and it is said that after M teia had succeeded in BO amp completely ly pulling over 1 the eyes of the members ot of he state nu cittee atee that they bey P P J winked ba bo es and abed bd ore U iby tol the twelve drillars in oun v sf wv ay v F wr witching and that game av w as A |
