The Democratic State Ticket.
M'CANDLEss AND COOPER.

| we place at the head OF our columns
| today the ticket nominated by the
Democratic State Convention. This
ticket should, and we doubt not will,
receive the hearty and united support
of every Democrat and Conservative in
the State. With general WILLIAM
M'CANDLEss and Capt. JAMES Ii.
COOPER as our standard bearers, "there
can be no such word as fail" They are
men of sterling worth-men of capac.
ity, integrity and popularity-who, if
elected, las they certainly will be if the
honest men of the State discharge the
duty incumbent upon them, will make
upright, faithful and attentive officers.
Their comrades of the Pennsylvania
Reserves will rally to thei, support al
most to man, and thus assist to
PUSH ON THE COLUMN! Men
administration of the affairs of State,
will support this ticket with zeal that
knows no abatement.
PUSH ON THE COLUMN, then,
all ye who are opposed to the Ring cam
didates placed in nomination by the
joint influence of Simon Cameron and
Grants obsequious office-holders. Let
the people elect to the positions of Au-
ditor General and Surveyor General
men who will discharge their duties in
the interest of the State, and not in the
interest of corrupt political ring.
PUSH ON THE COLUMN, young
men, and let your voices and your votes
mingle with the voices and votes of the
old fat hers who feel that their taxes
have been squandered, that set of po-
litical vampires might become rich.
Young men Especially you who, in
October, will vote for the first time,
think well before you cast your ballots;
and we feel satisfied you will assist to
throttle the men who have revelled in
luxury at the expense of tax.ridden
people.
PUSH ON THE COLUMN, work.
ing men, you who represent the Drawn
and muscle of the State. You must
know by this time that the bloated
shoddyite, the man who has become
suddenly rich by pandering to the dev-
ilish sentiments of devilish men, can
have no sympathy with you. The Dem
ocratic party has ever been watchful Of
the interests of the hard listed working
man, and we have right, therefore, 70
ask the man of toll to stand by our can
didates this fall.
PUSH ON THE COLUMN, all who
are opposed to the Radical scheme of
giving away the public lands to rich
corporations. Democrats advocate the
policy of dividing these rich lands into
convenient farms, and then selling
them at a nominal sum to the poor man
who yearns fer home for himself and
family.
PUSH ON THE COLUMN, all who
are opposed to negro equality, negro
supremacy add negro impudence. Look
at the present Congress, with negroes
in the Senate and House of Representa-
tives. We have negroes for foreign
ministers, for judges, for members of
the Southern State Legislatures. and
for hundreds of minor offices. The
manned whitesoldier has to stand aside
to make place for ignorant, depraved,
uneducated negroes, and the Radicals
call this "progress." A white man must
take the seat assigned him by the car
conductor, but strong scented negro
Can demand a seat in the ladies' car,
and If this privilege is refused him he
sues for damages and RECEIVERS thous.
ands of dollars. This the Radicals call
"the rights of the colored man."
PUSH ON THE COLUMN, one and
all who favor equal taxation, and who
are opposed to the policy of relieving
rich monopolists and placing the heavy
load Of taxation upon the farmer, the
mechanic taxed according to his wealth,
and thus make taxation equal.
Democrats, Conservatives I've ap.
peal to you to be- up and doing from this
day to the day of the election. Let your
rallying cry be "MCANDLEss, COOPER
and Victory" and your efforts will be
crowned with success, and our once
proud, but now humiliated State, will be
rescued from the keeping of the Goths
and Vandals who for many years have
been sucking her life-blood. Forward,
the column!-CarliSle Volunteer.
