An Open tatter to the Editor of The Democrat.

A well-known, life-long democrat, and a citizen whose standing is of the highest type, wrote the following open letter to Prank E. Babcock, editor of The Jasper County Democrat and asked that, it be given space in The Republican. The letter reads; “With reference to what The Republican said about the president’s inaugural address, please tell the people what of commendation did you say. Please point to one single editorial written by you during the campaign in favor of the candidacy of Woodrow Wilgon, and can you point with pride to your approval of Bryan at the Baltimore conventibn when he fought for progressive principles. Is it not a fact that in the campaign you were a reactionary? What have you said with reference to the present legislature, any good thing? And after all this, you have the gall to ask for the postofflee from the party and men whom you have so often repudiated.”
