As heretofore announced, The Democrat will publish articles on both sides of the Gifford railroad project in Barkley tp., and to-day presents the first article we have had favoring the tax, which is over the signature of Warren Robinson of this city. While the article is rather lengthy, we have given it space that the public might see that we meant what we said at the time we made the proposition. Up in Barkley township, where they have an election every month, the people will vote Oct. V, for the second time within three months, on the proposition of donating $8,600 to B. J. Gifford for his railroad. The prospects are good for again defeating the measure, but it will take work on the part of the opponents to the tax to defeat it, and every voter should come out and vote as his conscience dictates.
