COMPLIMENT TO THE DEMOCRACY


The Valley Star saws. 1--WE do contend that the Wbirs
boughtup hundred and ffyfre thousand screen INN
dT0a and serenity nee OfeS but contend that they bought
up one hall OF that number And they by making free use
OF their money by way OF purchasing hard cider 10 treat
upon influenced the other half follow IN the same track
Verify this Is fine compliment be paid To the Demo
cracy, 10y one OF their own organs Ii the Wings bought
up these voters, whence did they purchase them They
could not have been Wnigs They must therefore have
been Democrats and bought up from the Democratic par
~ lt possible that they corrupt % be thus tam
Pered with Really cannot believe H. although tbcir
organs charge upon them Ii they bc corrupt as we
are told they all the Wings have la the next can
vas o. ensure success, will be- make free use OF money
and hard cider. According the doctrine of the I5c1s
themselves all that IS requisite convert Loco into
wing Is 10 place penny IN his hand and 20 give him
nearly draugh OF hard cider Let the Clay Clubs therefore
not fail to make OF these potent instruments which the
Locos tell US produced such sad havoc in their ranks IN
1910. "
Nothing can be more disgusting than the continual pratt
ing Of Loceoco slang whangcrs, about Coon skins and
the "dsroputablo ct lsl0 Bni IN fact som, of

OF coon.Skin. and know It like a half starved puppv-
That same Old Coon" the whole burden of their song
la inis manner they eudc1yor operate upon the lowest
passions and prcudccs OF human nature instead Of resort
ng 10 facts and arguments, and bold and manly dis
cussiOn Of principles.
But the Locos the last men in the world who sbopd

cuous extreme Of engraving logcabns and hickory trees
ON the Jackson electoral tickets with the motto,
Frccmen cheer the hickory trco
Ia war, ITS bows have sheltered thee ?
Have they forgotten how they eyclcd rioted and 5,,cl
around hickory poles like madmen knocking ont the heads
OF whiskcy and beer barrels, and as the ~ Y Tribune
observes pouring beer into the holes where the ,lc .
to bc planted, and then guiding down like hogs All
these "dscpuahc scenes have escaped their attention
and they now consider great indignity 70 their ,risc,
&C tastes. that in lst0, parcel Of rccmcn should have col
ccicd together around ogcabn for the purpose of dc
ing the reflection the ocos thought proper cast on Cen
Harison's poverty and simplicity Of life when ne was
