A String Of Democratic Beads.

THE SLATE SMASHED.
We have smashed Belmonts slate all
to pieces" He has been putting out feeler
after feeler, with names of Seymour, Hof-
man, Murphey, Church, Sherman, McClel-
Ian and johnson, and is now "bobbing
for bites" with the name of Hancock.
Every experiment fails. He has to keep
rubbing out as fast as he puts names on
to his slate.
We have numbers of tried and true men,
whose names are unsullied, whose hands
are unstained with blood illegally she'd
the blood of innocence.
From such men will we select our candi-
date-civilians, statesmen, Democrats
We will have no other

"CALL YOU THOSE OUR FRIENDS? DO YOU
SEE TT ?"
The Lacrosse Democrat, in the course of
one brief article, calls the New York
World ca mongrel concern" and declares
that the election of such men as Messrs,
Belmont, Seymour and Tilden to Demo
cratic Convention, is an insult to the
whole country" Call you this backing
your friends ?-Neao York San.
Call you those our friends? We don't
believe they are. Our friends are the
friends Of the poor men; those who would
aid to lift the great burden of debt and
taxation from the shoulders of the poor
laboring men of the country, where such
men as Belmont have put it, and where
such men as Seymour, Tilden and COM
pany seek to keep it.
We back our friends, and that is why we
back the workingmen of the country
against the encroachments of the ma
hogany-legs and bondholders.

IN ACCORD. no
We have been particularly impressed,
since reading the Jacobin platform adopted
at Chicago, with its almost exact accord
ance, touching the finances the national
credit and taxation, with Governor Sey-
mour's views, as expressed in his cele-
brated speech at the New York Bond
holders Convention last winter. Scan
the two, and compare them carefully, and
you will find scarcely shade OF differ
ence. How true it is that the friends OF
the tondholders, in either party, think
alike, Feel alike and act alike. With them
lords, are paramount to all Others.
What a beautiful fix we should be in,
were we to adopt Governor Seymour's
views, reaffirming, in substance, the Jaco-
bin platform upon the financial question.
How grandly we could rally the masses
What ringing appeals we could make to
the plowholders! What splendid cam
paign it would be, with no issue that
would touch the real interests OF the peo-
pie, arouse enthusiasm, fire the popular
heart, and consolidate, strengthen, inspire
with confidence, gladden. with assurance
of victory, the Democratic leglons
Out upon the thought! Spurn all such
suggestions! Treat as enemies all who
would council such suicidal policy Away
with the insidious advice of those who
would delude, betray and ruin US
1t is false to Democracy lt is treason
to the country! 1t is death to liberty
Let the people beware!
Politicians, beware!
