&c administration. It asks you to keep
right on charging and proving that the
howl against Democratic corruption is
untou"ded; that the men who have
cried out tho ], udcst md worked the
hardest against 'he Democracy, have
been bought body and soul by Eadical
money; money which the taxpayers
must make good that there has been
thieving. corruption, dcfaulting, aud
systematic lying to characterize every
action Of the victorious party, since the
ballot box gave it power. 1t calls upon
you to make men know and realize
these things to the end that the power
to hood-wink and blind the honest
masses may shortly terminate; and in
your own county affairs it calls upon
y"u impcrativcly to put in nomination
for Office only such men as are, first,
competent; second, honest.

Mass Convention assembled at the vil-
lage Of Br"wnsdale, Oct,bcr 18th, 1872.

OPPORTUNITY LOST.
One year ago a Democratic count
ticket Wis placed in the field, and M
with partial SUCCESS. Had the advat
ta=c thus gained been followed up by
similar movement this year. the Who'll
county ticket might have been electe'
but IL great opportunity has been H..
by bad counscls; a good cause has bee
betrayed by selfish iotriyners. 1t i
possibly too late to retrieve the false ste]
it is not too late to record solem
protest against fraud and treachery.-
1t is never too late to raise voice
favor Of truth and justice BY rally
ing t. the support Of the straight Dem,
cratic ticket we shall testify our dew,
ton to our principles, We shall maintai
, the existence Of a constitutional! part
rcs"Iutely determined to c"rrect abuse
bring back honesty in the administer
ton Of public affairs. and uphold til

a free government can be success
