n wore 70 Honest Desm0crnes
We copy the following with . few
slight changes from the BeileJonts
Republican, and think it worthy OF
perusal BY our dsmocratic friends:
Honest Democmts will you give M
your attentionf We have = word IA
say TO you. - q
We have gained triumphant vic.
tory. We have carried 81 states y
overwhelming msjdrities for Gensrsl
Grant, and carried Pennsylvania BY
lao, 600 majority.
We must rejoice because we feel
that we are; right that we hare
achieved Q great victory and secured
forever, tho principles FOR which we
contended in the late rebellion, and
for which 80 many Of our noble sons.
brothers and friends sacrificed their
lives ON the field Of battle.
II is not over you, or 10 insult you.
or to injure your feelings in any way,
that we rejoice, not because your
party is defeated, but becauso Right
has triumphed over Wrong.
The vote. in this county evidences
the fact, that many Democrats voted
for Gen. Grant. For this we thank
You. For this We rejoice, because IL
is evidence Of deep thought, honesty
and intelligence on your part, and
positive testimony in favor Of the
largest liberty to the masses al over
the country.
Honest Democrats Of Snyder coum-
ty, again wethsnk you for your time
ly and well directed effort in the
right direction. Remember, yon
were not alone in your effort 10 de
feat your old enemy, Horace Gree
ley.
There are thousands of Democrats
in the land, who voted for Gen.
Grant. We believe they have aban.
doned, forever, the party that tried
TO sell them to Greeley and Brown.
They clung to the old party until
it sold its honor. They have now
(at least we hope SOY left IL to join
the party of progress. You are
right. Remain with us, and you
shall receive the honors Of the future
along with those who have welcomed
you to the ranks Of the Republican
party.
There ore thousands of Democrats
who opposed Greeley, and secretly
favored Gen. Grant. They have not
yet decided 20 take an open stand
with us. They are honest; but
they appear to hesitate. 1t is hard
to give up old ideas and old associa-
tioRs.
Why cling to n sinking shipi Why
to trust leaders that have
aud sold you out every Pres
idential election for the past twelve
yearsl
We appeal to you and ask you TO
come into our party. Your leaders
at Baltimore endorsed all we have
done since the Republican party came
into power in 1861. They taught
you to believe that the 18th, 14th and
18th Amendments to the Constitu-
ton were tyranical aud wrong. At
Baltimore they declared them to he
right, patriotic, wise and Just.
The Democratic Party can have no
claim upon you. II tried to deliver
you over to elevate Greeley to the
chair.
The election on tho 9Th inst,
proves that you were unwilling to be
delivered. You either voted for
Grant or remained at home, thus Civ
ing your protest against the corrupt
and thus using your infu-
ence TO defeat its designs,
You belong to the great party of
progressive ideas; your proper place
is in the ranks Of the Republican
PARRY.
Come in where your influence can
be felt AMI acknowledged.
Shake off the dust OF a party that
has ceased to exist, through the
treachery Of its leaders, and take
your stand along with Others ,oho
once stood by your side in the Dem
ocratic party.
The Republican party has bright
future before it.
1t is the party Of universal free
dom and as such must continue to
rule the nation through long series
OF years to come.
Come with us we will do you good.
Help us to clean out corruption
everywhere in the State, Nation and
County. ....
Let every man who loves his coun-
try and desires to see it advance in
power and glory, enroll himself as an
active, fighting member under the
old Republican banner.
Honest Democrats of Snyder coun-
ty, Of Pennsylvania will you do il!
Will you heed our advicef Willyou
come to us and have the satisfaction
