the Democratic ranks by appealing to tn
prejujices Of men; but we have too mucl
confidence in the good sense Of the peopl
to believe that such ticket as they hav'
put forward, will be successful even 10 thu

,ounty have not forgotten tho days of Reg
istration, the days Of ostraclsm, the day
Of prescription and oppression, when every
man who differed with tho leaders ant

vas prescribed by them. 1t is not likely
that any Democrat has it in his heart t
support or vote for any man on the tickle
placed before them by men who have al
ways prescribed them for daring to differ
with them in opinion. We soy, to oil,
do not makcuse Of your privilege as voters,
now, to restore to power under tho gulsc
Of "no party" the party that favored, up
held and now fayors dislrancbisement; who
would tomorrow disfranchie every man
had they the power. who sympathizcd with
or engaged in tile Confederate service.
We profess to know something Of the sem
,imeuls and feelings of many of the leaders
Of the Republican party, upon this quest
ion Of disfranchisoment, and, therefore.
know whereof We speak. This mo party
dodge, with Democrats on their ticket, is
toregaiu that power, lost last fall. Do
not trust them with that power again.
Their cry is, "lct US preserve the disfran-
chisiug clause Of our constitution for We
may need it again"
The Democratic ticket is one which no
true Democrat should feel any hesitancy in
and all that is needed to in
sure success is firm aud united effort to
that end. Only the greatest apathy in the
ranks Of the party will afford the Radi-
cal.Republicau Peoples party" any
chance for victory in Mason county or in
this Senatorial District, on tue Fourth
Thursday in October, To prevent this
undesirable result, let every member Of the
party in Mason county resolve himself iuto
q committee Of one aud 60 heartily to work
and labor manfully for the success Of Wag-
geuer, McCowu, Gushing, Fitzhugh,
and tue whole ticket.
