Thom. G. Jones Replies to the Charge that the Military of the State is a Political Machine Montgomery, August 10, 1889 Editor Linden Reporter: In a late issue you say, “Col. Thomas G Jones, candidate for Governor, seems to be running the military machine for all that it is worth.” The State Troops, whom you thus characterize, are composed of some sixteen hundred young Alabamians, who are profession at men, farmers, mechanics, and businessmen. They unselfishly give their time and money and undergo some hardships and risks, that the State may maintain the supremacy of her laws and enjoy the blessing of order and tranquility. the y are young men of spirit and intelligence, imbued with a high sense of honor, and full of self respecting manhood and independence. You wrong no one more than yourself, when you intimate that his splendid body of men could be moulded into a “military machine” to subserve the personal or political ends of any man. I became connected with the organization more than fifteen years ago, because such service seemed to me a duty some of us owed society. I have never sought or been a candidate for any office in the organization, and never desired any. Every command held by me has been the oft urged confidence and unanimous wish of officers and men under me. I have remained in the service for several years past solely because of the earnest remonstrate of officer sand mane against my retirement to which were added to protests of many persons from the communities interested in the companies composing my regiment. I would ill requite this confidence and kindness, if I should to avail myself of it for selfish or personal ends; and I have not done so. Long connection and service with the state troops has undoubtedly made me warm friends, whom I would not otherwise have had, but this friendship is only the natural result of long and intimate association, and is due to no other cause. I have never, directed or indirectly, asked any man to support me or give me his influence, because of his or my connection with the military. I have never asked any man in the military to support my candidacy, unless I could be said to do so in consulting some seven or eight gentlemen who are member so the military, who are my warm close friends in other relations in life, and who have been saluted if neither of us had been members of the organization. I have never written alien or spoken a word looking to bringing the organization into politics. No friend of mine to my knowledge or belief or with my consent, has ever sought to use the military for my benefit. I purposely avoided all mention of politics at the late encampment; and on the few occasions it was mentioned discouraged any discussion of it. I did nothing in that encampment which I did not do before I became a candidate, and may conduct there differed in nothing form previous encampments except that there was stricter enforcement of discipline. I have not invited the encampment or gone to other military gatherings where I would have been a welcome guest. My whole course of conduct ahs been the reverse of what you impute to me and I am conscious of no word or act which justifies your statement. It would be equally as discreditable to the military as to me, if I were “running” them as a machine, or in any other way to promote personal ends; for any non-political organization which is “run” or suffers itself to be “run” for political purposes, especially of its own officers I ns in the sure road to run, and inevitably forfeit public confidence. If the matter concerned me alone I would not trouble you with this letter. It involved also the reputation of an organization in whose good name every citizen is interested; and silence on my part would be injustice to it. Your --- THOMAS G. JONES OF COURSE – Judge Field in No Way Chargeable with Terry’s Fate A TICKET AGENT ROBBED – Decatur A HORRIBLE REPORT – London – Dispatches from Egypt say that a famine prevails a Kharoum, Kassala, Tokar and other river towns, and the survivors are said to be feeding upon the bodies of the dead.

Mr. CANLEY was a native of this county, born and grew up within seven miles of the present town. In 1862, while at home on a furlough, he was captured and carried to Indiana. From this time nothing was heard of him until alter in the same year his wife received his knife, pocketbook and canteen, tighter with a note stating that her husband was dead, and that the writer had assisted in his burial some years after the war. The supposed widow married a Mr. BEASLEY by whom she has raised another family of children who are gown. BEASLEHY died about three years ago and she was again left a widow. Last week Mr. CANLEY turned up in Cullman; and his friends to meet him is like meeting one who has risen from the dead. He visited his wife (?) last Saturday. It is not known where he will reclaim her or not. Mr. CANLEY has not excuse to offer for his absence except that it suited him better than to return. It is thought that he instigated the canteen matter and the statement of his death. DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS – The Gubernatorial Contest will be Decided in favor of the Democrats – Wheeling, W. Va.
