To the sober second thought o

ty--and We believe there are many
such-we submit this question anC
these figures: Can you give u
any valid reason why any materia
difference should exist in tho pres
ent administration OF State Govern
ment and that oil times that ar,
past2 Ifnot, then the expense o.
tho entire Government under az
honest administration was $500, 600
now il is 81, 100000, or ten times
greater. Then tho people were
rich and prosperous, now they are
poor and oppressed. Your State
Police alone costs 100000. Will
the cost justify the luxury In
spirit OF candor We say to you, our
wrongs are yours, our rights are
yours, and our cause in the work
of publication should be common.
Will you not lay aside prejudice
and Join hands with US to redress
our mutual wrongs and secure our
common rights.
The work Immediately before us,
is tho selection ofa representative
in Congress. The election is an.
nounccd for October. The Con.
vcntions of both parties have met,
and their respective candidates are
before the people. For tho first
time in many years the Issue Is
Sgudreiy made. 1t is Radicallsm or
Democracy, and tho names OF John
G. Conner and A. N. Bryant are
but the means through which the
voter announces his political senti-
ments. The name OF Hon. John q.
Conner, the Democratic standard.
bearer, is familiar With you all it
is identified with every successful
in the interest OF our
people since the commencement Of
this stugglc. Ho has borne our
banner in triumph in darker days
than these. His clarion voice was
heard in our behalf when brave
men talked in bated whispers. In
Congress and out Of Congress, he
has been equal to every emergency;
threats could not intimidate, nor
gold corrupt. When the impartial
hand of truth shall record tho his.
tory Of the times, no name Will
shine with u brighter luster than
that of John G. Conner, and his
may well claim that in
his nomination they have practical
" illustrated the vast comprehen-
,iveness Of the great and ever en-
Turing principles of true Democra.
". That principle that knows no
,ectionalism but gathers alike with

out this wc cannot have unity, and
without unity we cannot hope for

In conclusion We remark, that

AS is in this, the Cd Congressional
District. 1t is tho Gibrul or OF De-
