BRICK POMERoY ON THE DEMO
-. CRATIC TICKET.
How he s.GOes for" Seymour
and Blair.


- RAcY READING FOR DEMOCRATS.
The Lacrosse Democrat of July 9th
handles Seymour aad Blair-who
had not then received denomination
without gloves. AS the Democrat
edited by the notorious Brick POme
roy, is a power in the Democratic
party, having the largest circulation
of any Democratic newspaper, it is
of interest to know what il thinks of
Democratic candidates.
HoRATIo SEYMOUR.
We notice that Governor Seymour
made a speech in New York city on
the 25th of June, in which, the tele
graph says, he proceeded TO reiter-
ate his views formerly expressed on
the financial question: What those
views are. as contained in his A lbany
speech, our readers are fully inform
ed-precisely those affirmed by the
Jacobins at their Chicago Convention
gold for the bondholders-rags for
the people.
1t is well known that Governor
Seymour is opposed to touching the
financial question-wants TO leave 1t
to stand as it is, all in favor of the
bondholders, and against the people
gold, and no taxes to pay for the lat
ter.
With characteristic sophistry, he
says that sour debt is not due until
fifteen years from tlfis time" There
fore he says its present discussion is
useless--it is not practical qnes-
ton.
or the fearful consequences of fol
lowing Gov. Seymour's advice we
have heretofore expressed our views,
and we now repeat them, on the eve
of the great event which is to determ-
inc the destiny of The American peo-
pie.
Gov. Seymour is trying 10 put the
public mind asleep on the bond ques-
tion, and leave the plOwholders to
sweat, and stagger, and starye under
the load of taxation, to pay the
bondhoiders their semi-annual interest
in gold, and their taxes in addition;
by telling the country that the iinan
cial question should not he brought
into the canvass tins year; that every
thing is well enough as it is, if you
will only make the country economic
in its expenditures, and that a gene
ration hence will be time enough TO
talk about the national debt.
Hon false dRd decepti0e! =!
1t takes one hundred and twenty
five millions in goid--say one humid
dred and seventy-iive millions in
greenbacks, atpresent depreciation
to pay the interest on the bonds.
This load upon industry-this drain
upon the recources of the PlowhOld-
ers-Gov. Seymour proposes to con-
tinue without change for a genera
tion or more.
Why?
Because he has not courage TO grap-
pie with a question like statesman
and q patriot!
And because the bondholders have
got him in their tolls, and are using
him to uphold their interests
And ensldve tie PLOwHoLDERs
FRANK p. BLAIR, OLD BLAIR, AND THE
BLAIRs GENERALLY.
1t is reported that Montgomery
Blair says thatRone OF the candidates
now prominently named will receive
the Democratic nomination at New
York, and that the party can only be
united by bringing forward a new
man.-Erehange.
Such stuff as the above is more
than Democratic nature can bear.
To have one of that pestilent Blair
family talking thus Oracularly about
49, --2--s----f.i .i-A n4-aaaaarnt;e party is
the most impudent thing OF the day.
What have the Blairs in common
with the Democratic party? Old
Blar has been virulently working
aga nst 1t, and doing it all the harm
in his po=er for more than twenty
years, and during ali this time--em
bracing the whole of their political
lives-the young Biairs have been
ready and active workers with
their father in feeding his hate and
ministering to his thirst for ven
geance against the Democratic party
They all lcontributed, To the extent
of their ability, To widen the gulf and

North and South, which led to the
