TRADING VOTES, 6C.

Yesterday the Black Republican or
gan here attempted to blind the pub
lie regarding the acts OF its own party
candidates, in the matter Of trading
votes. While no such thing has ever
been thought Of in the Democratic
party, while no democratic candidate
has ever proposes to trade votes with
any person in any way, the Gazette sets
up the cry of stop thief in order to
keep the people from seeing what the
republican candidates themselves are
about. They are the ones that are
travelling about the country bartering
votes for votes-throwiug off on some
members Of their ticket for the purpose
Of securing votes for pet candidate
But they have not made any capital
ont of their attempts. The people
know them "like book" and disdain
any such promises or oyer,ures
The democratic party is high above
any such low acts, and it is the create
wonder that any should be found so
mean as to lay any such sin to its
charge. We have no need to warn
democrats against selling their votes;
thev have better use for them.

for the plaintiffs for the full amount

led, according to the charge of the
judge, that negotiable paper issued by
a corporation for accommodation is, in
the hands Of bona fide holder for val

dent of the Patterson Manufacturing

allege, to friend in New York, for
the accommodation of the latter, the
checks of the 90 npanv to a very large
amount, some $4,000. This paper,

aud passed for full value to the At

and taken by them without knowledge
Of the fact that it was accommodation

power to make accommodation paper,
and that these checks were made pay

legal notice Of their character. The
court charged the jury that even if
they had no power to Issue the paper,
yet, if that fact did not appear upon its
face, that checks in the hands Of bona
fide holder, without actual notice, are
good against the company.

POS ITS

The democracy Of this county WAS
never more actively engaged and never
met with greater degree Of success
in strengthening the outposts and i'm
porting votes" tLan at the present
time The outposts are made strong
by sending out men who preach true
democratic doctiins to the people aud
showing them how much and how
deeply they have suffered from the
overreaching and grasping proclvities
Of . dishonest and corrupt Black Re-
publican Administration. We arc &C.
cused beforehand, by the Black Re-
publicsns, of " importing votes" aud
to this We plead guilty. 1t is the mis-
sion Of the party to import votes, the
democratic party has been engaged in
that kind Of commerce ever sipce it
had an existence, and we expect it al~
ways will be. 1t imports vast numbers
yearly and is now engaged in this
County in importing largely from the
republican party, and we are Of the
opinion it will do enough of this kind
Of business to carry the county by a
large majority Let the outposts be
strengthened let votes be imported
from the marks o. onr political enc
mics, and the result will be grand
dem ocratic victory.
