The Republican thinks The Democrat ought to try and build up a democratic machine in Jasper oounty. No, thank you. Machine politios don’t go with democrats, and especially the democrats of this oounty or district. Everybody has a voice in democratic conventions and no dictation from Washington or elsewhere goes. The Democrat never has nor never will endorse machine politios, and as the Republican now has a clear field there is no exouse for it doing so—unless it believes in such methods. jMiaron Timmons, proprietor of tpe only licensed saloon in Jasper county, has given notice that he will apply to the board of commissioners for renewal of said lioense at their regular meeting next month.
