cation that they found themselves acting with
the Democrats las: fall, and the illconcealed
exultatiou of the latter over the supposed re-
verse to the Republicans, We know disguised
many voter of the Peoples ticket. They
knew but too well, that when the Democracy
had occasion to rejoice, that Republican prin-
ciples mast be iu jeopardy, and they were
very naturally sensitive at civilizations which
grew out Of hatred and opposition to the prin-
ciples they had advocated, and the success of
which was still their greatest desire.
Now, it is not only proposed to contribute
to the strengthening of the Democracy, but
also to give them the absolute control of the
Peoples organization, and allow them to make
the nominations for that party, as We have al
ready shown. Every intelligent voter in the
Peoples party knows that the leaders of the
Democracy have bnt one object in, viz the
overflow of Republican principles, to be
achieved by the dowufall of the Republican
organization. This is the sole, controlling,
absorbing purpose aud determination of that
party. To effect this, they are sleeplessl y Wig

tage of every opportunity which presents itself
They have no choice between the Peoples and
Republican organization, except as it furthers
this great object. They would as soon to.
day, strike hands with the Republicans as
with their present allies, the bolters, if it wo'd
ensure the success of their party, and the over
throw Of the principles they ere so inmical
to- These assertions We DO no! believe, will
be controverted oy any one.
And as they have no choice between the
two OrganiZatiOns-we do not believe that
they have any choice between men except from
tue same motives We have alluded to above
The leaders are ready to support the man who
will do them he most good. And the history
Of tLC Democratic party Of this county, shows
that they have always been rallied at the com.
mand of the leaders to the support of the can
didate whose snccesS was most desirable to
then. Now, is there any reason to suppose
that this will be changed when they vote at
the primary meeting for candidates for the
Peoples party? Will not the same tactics be
employed they are so famous for The leaders
will determine the candidates for nomination
most suitable for their purposes, and passing
the word around, the rank and file will quiet,
Iy &c TO the polls and cast their ballots. The
smor-pure peoples men, will fad, when the re-
suit is announced that their Democratic friends
have voted en- 1a0SSe fer candidates and that
they arc beautifully sold.
If this result is not seen this fall, it is be-
cause the Democratic leaders are SO certain OF
their game that they eau afford to wait anoth-
er year. Bu. the Peoples party have walked
,rto the trap set for them-and are at the
mercy, and under the control Of the Democrats.
Already we hear the murmuFing Of discomfort
amongst the Democratic masses. They are
c!amorng fer a chance for the clfices. Some
Of them arc insisting that q portion of the
Peoples ticket this fall should be taken from
the Democracy. This slight rebellion, will
however, be qaelied, 10y the leaders, because
such a movement this fa;l, is premature. But
that the Democrats eypec! soon 10 furnish the
candidates as well as the votes, is not contra
dicted, and is in fact, openly ar0eCed By hem
