To the Democracy of Manitowoc
COIIntM


Above Is the Ticket nominated by the
State, County, and Assembly District Con-
ventions Of the Democrats Of the several
constituencies, and we appeal to YOU as
Democrats to come forth on the day Of the
election, and as men, patriots, and demo
crats, give your undivided support to the
nominees Of the Democratic party.
We appeal 70 each democrat to lay aside
ard forego for the present, all jeslousies,
and all disappointments, that his own per
sonaI feelings were not gratifed in the
nominations made, and while doing battle
for the Democratic rominees, feel that he
is doing lis duty to himself his party and
his country; and that upon his individual
vote may depend the principles Of his par
ty over the combined forces of the oppo-
si,ion, composed Of the dsJris Of all par
ties, len Of all opinions AMI no principles
-gry j2ck. and sprckied-cougiegated
together for the purpose of obtaining office
and punder.
We hear it sad that in certain localities
in this county, the Democratic candidates
for Clerk of the Court and Assembly will
he boted, and that these boilers will sup
port Black Republican candidates. We
insist that no good Democrat will be gull
ty Of any such suicidal act. No Democrat
is justified in boiling tie regular nomina
tions Of his party, in which nomination he
has had an opportunity Of participating,
except such nomination was procured by
treachery, frau.,, or corruption, and the
candidate presented is known to be desti-
tute Of Democratic principles, and belongs
to, or was affiliated with the Know Moth
ings, and has worked for or desired the
success Of the opposition party.
We deem il, and shall insist that it is
our duty, as the conductor of Democrat
ic press, (whatever individuals or cl,ques
may dcmand to the contrary to support
with all our force the nominees of the
Democratic party, and we shall also insist
lat no Democrat, whatever may be his
oEn personal interests or dislikes. or his
Ig.sonal friendship to US, shall compel us
10 denounCe any candidate presented BY
any Convention Of the Democratic party
