THE COMING I.FCTION


We hope that every democrat In this city and
State is sufficiently impressed with the importance
Of the coming election, to make every honor
able effort to secure the triumph Of democratic
principles and democratic candidates. The Pc
cuar pains taken by the dominant party Of this
State TO saddle an undue burden of taxation
upon the citizens Of Baltimore, and the reasonable
efforts OF wing paper published In our midst to
excite and arouse the prejudices of the counties
against Baltimore interests, ought to secure for the
democratic party at the coming contest, the largest
majority their ticket before received. And
when IL Is considered that the falling of Of single
vote from our party at the present election will be
regarded as evidence Of the Indifference of our
people about that most vital Of all questions to us
the question of conventional reform-it becomes
every democrats duty to guard against such re-
suit, by untirlng and unremltting exertions, from
this time till the close of the polls on the day of the
election.
The W rgs are secretly organizing in every ward
of the city, and will doubt be prepared to bring
out full vote Of "the faithful" The democracy
must do the same thing. We have abundant time
for thorough organization Of the wards-the infu-
sion ofthe same old spirit among our friends that
gave US victories in former times-and the secure
ment of every democrats attendance at the polls,
provided wa all go to work at once with the enthu-
siasm and earnesLness which the occasion calls for,
and which very essential to glorious success.
If any seem Indifferent about the issue of the
test-lf any of our voters absent at work
on ploasure-and if we know of adopted citizens
who have omitted to secure for themselves the sa-
cred right of suffrage, let us all labor to turn that
indifference into anxious zeal, TO bring home an alb
sent voter, and to incite the adopted citizen to mako
ready for support of that party which has pre-
served our favored country san asy um for the OPP
pressed of all Nations" and which expungod from
the statute book that odious wing law, and second
'stamp act" of that party, which required him 10
submit to DETACHMENT 2f The evidences oG his cit
izenship."
What more need we say 10 the de ,crats Of Bal
tmore, who have proven vicIorn . IN 20 many
contestss Shall we tell them that their willy adver
sary is calculating on our defea2 ask them wheh-
er the principles Of democracy less dear 10 them
now than formerlyi Have they not recently seen
the TYRANT ARM OF wBIGERy stretched out over the
Workingmen of the land with the same proscriptive
feelings which distinguished them during the bank
panics of past years. Have VIC not heard of foul
CONSPIRACY entered into by the large wing mapufac
turors of this State and OF all the States east of u.s.
TO swndle tho laboring man by reduction of his
scanty wages, because the democratic administration
lessened the peoples taxes by an equalization and
diminution of tariff dutiesi Have we not seen
others of the same party endeayorng 10 PROSTATE
the business of the merchant, email manufacturers
and mechanics Of every grade by raising the cry of
rum all over the country, because the administra
ton very wisely and prudently dissolved the en-
barrassing connection of the government with the
banks'
Having heard and seen all this the demooracv
must feel that they have ne same old foe to combat
on The Est Wednesday in October, that has so often
before brought distress to the doors Of thousands of
us by converting the banks into political machines,
and which has, often, sought TO bind with the
letters of absolute slavery, the hands of the mechan-
les asd aborers in their employ. They have the
same old foe to combat, which, in its efforts to sub
lugate and overthrow the democratic party by
means of bank panics and their usual accompani-
ments, dragged many of their own business men
over the precpce of insolvency and ruin, and thus
proved itself the common enemy of business men
and mechanics Of all Glasses and parties. Under
these circumstances, we again asks there soil
lary democrat within the wide circle Of our city who
will not, from this hour, go into the pending contest
with the energy and determination of 1874, and
throw to the four winds of the earth his imagined
wrongs and Careless indifference" No there is
not one Every democrat who is worthy of the
name, and who will hereafter claim political COM
with us, will be as true as faithful, and
as Jealous as he was ever found before, and will use
The same exerons now to bring out the full demo-
cratic vote, that did him much credit in by-eone
lines This being the case, complete and glorious
triumph must and will be ours.
