An Explanation Wanted.

An Explanation Wanted.
We are reliably informed
that at several of the township
polls at the Democratic prima-
ry election, life long Democrats
were refused tie privilege of
voting because they refused to
pledge themselves for Greeley.
We want to know how long it
has been since the endorse
ment OF Greeley came to be a
test of a mans Democracy.
A call has been issued by
the Democratic Central Com
mittee of this county for a rat
ifcation meeting to be held at
the Court House, on the Both
inst. Curiously enough this
document does not mention the
word Democrat or Democratic,
and it is headed, "Greeley and
Brown Ratification Meeting"
and signed, "By order of the
Committee" What is the mat
ter? Is the old Democratic
party dead and buried or is the
Committee ashamed of it?
Come, gentlemen, the omission
is evidently Intentional, and
we want to know whether you
are dead, or only ashamed Of
the company in which the
tricksters have placed you. An
explanation is wanted.

The basis Of the Greeley par
ty-is lie. They are making a
big effort to "bulp' the political
market. Greeleyism is fearfully
contagious according to their
story, but always in the adjoin-
ing township. In the country
it is the town that is all for
Greeley, in the town it Is the
farmers that are all for Gree
ley. For instance, one of the
Greeley leaders said to US the
other day that the Greeley fe-
yer was spreading, with aston.
ishing rapldity, and to con-
vince US, he mentioned the
names of t. E. Knauss, Ernest
Fisher, Chris. Stocklin and 9th

Zaleski who would signify their
union with the Dolly Warden
party at the primary election.
Not one of them did, and what
is more, they never had any in
tention of doing so. All their

tion, will be found like this.

The Election.

@ACONAOaa
We are not in the secrets of
the Democratic party of this
county, but it needs no very
close observer of what is 60
ing on to see that the party
generally is dissatisfied and
disguSted with the ticket nom
mated last Saturday, and feel
and say that they are under no
obligations to abide by the
nominations. Indeed, when
persons force their nomination
or the nomination of their
friends by threats of boiling,
:hey immediatly absolve their
opponents from all obligations
and no after plea of party con-
sideration is of any avail. Nor
was the threat of boiling the
least opprobriouS weapon used
in the late primary election.
Private character was assailed
In the most unscrupulous man
ner, and unfounded slanders
heaped upon the heads of men
who had not only done
good service to the party, but
stood without reproach in the
community. Said prominent
Democrat on our streets: 81
have taken an active part in
politics, and have fought some
hot campaigns with the Re-
publicans, but | never was in
as dirty a campaign in my life
-one in which as many low,
underhanded, mean things were
ever said and done to influence
votes?"
Knowing these things, the
independent voters of the
Democratic party are deter
to sink partyfeelings, and
vote for men for county Offices
Recognizing these facts it be-
comes the duty of the Repub.
licans to look we'll to their
nomination this fall, and see
that our best men are selected
as candidates-men who have
not only the ability to fill the
Offices, but whose private char
acters will commend them to
every fair minded voter IN the
county. Above all, let our We
rious candidates, and more es.
pecialiy their frierds, conduct
The contest for the nomination
'airly and openly, without any
attempts at combinations, so
that whoever is nominated
may command the Hearty sup
port of all, and the victory is 4
ours.

The Democratic Primary Elec-
IInn-

the Democratic Primary Elec-
ton.
The Democratic Primary
election occurred last Saturday,
and by its result astonished
the natives. The poll was very
light, but S25 votes being cast.
There are many ways to ac-
count for this light vote, the
principal being that the De
mocracy have not made up
their mind to vote for Greeley,
and did not turn out with their
usual enthusiasm. And again,
farmers have been busy, hav.
ing been thrown behind with
their work by the wet weather,
and did not care to spare the
time, especially as the friends
of some Of the candidates had
publicly announced their in
tention to bolt in case their ia.
Vorites were not placed on the
ticket. AS usual IN the case Of
a small vote, the worst element
prevails and nobody save few
hangers-on are satisfied with
the ticket.
The candidates selected were:
for Sheriff, G. W. PilcheT
Clerk, George Cooke; Treasur-
er, Nelson Richmond; Probate
Judge, Il. B Mayo; Commits
sioner, JOSIAH ID. Martin.
Richmond and Mayo are we'll
known to the people as 'regu.
lars" The others may need a
little introduction. Pitcher
lives in McArthuT was late
a candidate for the Republican
nomination for the same office,
got only two votes in the con
vention and thereupon, from
Radical, Johnsonized," and is
now a "Nasby" preacher with
out a station or congregation.
George E. Cooke, lives in
Wilkesville, is an Irishman by
birth, and was educated for a
priest. He served as a head
quarter clerk in the army, and
four years ago his Wilkesville
friends were feeling the Repub-
lican county convention in his
interests for the same office for
which he is now a candidate.
Seeing the utter hopelessness
of his chances his name was not
presented. JOSIAH ID. Martin,
the candidate for Commission
er is. a man unknown 10 fame;
he lives in Knox, and was late a
disappointed candidate for Re-
publican township honorS, and
failing in his patriotic purpose
to serve his country, he soured.
1t is not surprising that in turn
straight Democrats should sour
on the whole ticket.

A Democratic national tri-
umph means a restoration to
power of those who deserted
their seats in Congress and
their places under the last
Democratic president to
plunge the country into the
Red Sea of secession and re-
bellion. Though you paint an
inch thick, to this complexiouD
you must come at last. The
brain, the heart, the soul of
the present Democratic party
is the rebel element at the
south, with its southern allies
and Sympathizers. - Horace

REASONS FOB HIGH TAXES,

One of the stupid arguments that the
Democracy is constantly using with igno-
rant people is this: That the taxes are
higher now than they were before the war.
AS matter Of course they are, for the ex-
penses are greater, and the taxable prop
erty is reduced two-thirds. With the de-
struction of slavery the tax on negro prop
erty was necessarily destroyed This re-
duced the assessment roll at single blow
one-half With the destruction of slavery
the farms deprecated fully one-third. We
are, therefore, perfectly safe in saying that
the assessment in Louisiana is less by one
half than it was in 1862 The expenses
have been necessarily increased, for we
have doubled the numbered our citizens
by eleyating the slaves into the family of
citizenship. They cost us a large amount
Of money, for ignorant people are always
more expensive than educated people are,
because they need more taking care of.
Then, again, the refusal of large property
holders to pay their taxes reduces the pub
lie credit, and we have to pay two prices
for what we get. This dishonesty of the
citizens rather lends sanction to public
dishonesty; for if the people can reconcile
it to their ideas Of integrity to cheat the
officials, the officials can very logically de-
fend themselves in cheating the people.
Mr.. Soda Pop refuses to pay the salary of
the policeman when he withholds his
taxes. He sets the example of dishonesty.
The policeman, in return, says that he will
have to cheat, too since that is the rule
practiced toward him Any man who flies
from his contract, and sets upa spurious
reason why he should not discharge his
debts, whether general or special, invites
oppression, for he sanctions its perpetra- |
ton by perpetrating it himself
. Here are three reasons, then, why the |
taxes are higher than they were. We have |
a greater sum of money to raise off a !
smaller amount Of property; we increase
this sum by depreciating our own obIga-
tons, and we invite our neighbors to cheat
US by first cheating them. We add to dis
honesty stupidity, and these two vices are
enough to overwhelm any people.

RECONCILIATION,

It is now the evident policy Of the
Grant party to prevent reconciliation, if
possible, among the people of the differ
ent sections of the American Union.
While the people are anxious to forget
past differences and rally in support of
the constitution and laws as the majority
nave made them, and are in favor of re-
i !, IL Tie administration of government,
the Grant party finds it necessary to fan
'ne remaining embers Of the cid feuds
