The only county the Democrats carried
last fall was Jackson, which gave Judge
Mason 1sl majority. BY reference to the
foregoing figures it will be seen that the
Jackson stay -at-boms vote WAS the snalIsss
IN the District; showing conelusivsly that
this bs,vy non voting population 10 mostly
made up Of Democrats, and that when Dem
ocrats 70 TO the polls, Democratic victories
are sure to be the result.
The Republicans always poll fall vote.

mu.t DO left to tho good judgment Of
the voters must DO the chief end, aim and

reasonable to set down 5000 Of those 7 COG

with proper efforts at least 1000 Of those
democrats can be persuaded to 20 TO the
polls. This done, the district may 10 car
