A WORD TO DEMOCRATS.

AS this will be the last issue of oar pape
that will reach our readers before the electlon
we deem it not only proper but, IN fac1' gu
duty to say few words to the Democracy y
view of tho important issues at stake III
Radicals know full well that they will Dc una
BILE to elect single man on their ticket WIN
out the aid of Democratic votes. They kno"
if Democrats stand together in support
their party candidates that every Democratic
nominee will be elected by handsome ma
iority; and every artiice is being used to III
duce Democrats to support McClintock foi
Sheriff and Brodbeck for County treasurer
These two they expect to elect, and, II neces
sary to do so, will sacrifice all the balance OF
their ticket We know what we say when
we tell our readers that everything is being
brought to bear in tho hope Of electing Brodbeck
and McClintock. Ed Strong is again victim
ized by his own party friends, as he was two
years ago. The friends of Dryden McClntock
and John Brodbeck are on the trade ana 10
get Democratic votes for these two, they VIII
throw overheard Huston, Strong and, IN lact'
every other man on their ticket Huston nav
ing not the ghost of show, anyhow, they can
throw him with impunty and with clear con
science; but McClintock's friends are going
around among our fellow Democrats and taIh-
ing to them this way: Here, now, you kno"
Dryde is ID good fellow, he has always
stood in with the boys; he amt half as black
as he says he Isl he has made good Sheriff,
and now I'll tell you. if you'll vote for Dryde,
I'll vote for German" That is just the game
that is being played The Blacks know that
German will be elected, or at least they think
so, and they therefore endeavor to trade OF
by swapping Radical votes for German for
Democratic votes for McClntock. We are
satisfied that some few Democrats will be-
fooled or deceived by these trailicklng and
trading gents. but we warn our friends IN time.
There can be no possible excuse for Demo
Gratis to trade off their votes rs they believed
there was two years ago; and no true Demo
crat will vote against the nominees OF his party
at the coming election. Dryden McCiutock
may, like other members of his party, have
good, true and warm personal friends who
are Democrats, as Jesse Bradford doubtless
has among the Radicals, and as all Of us
have, but our personal friendships should mol,
under any state OF circumstances, SD far

'cratlc faith We have nothing 10 say against

ord is n man against whose character or acts.
ther public or private, not one word can be-

he duties of Sheriff of this county than is his
pponent even our political adversarics admit:
nd no man claiming to be a Democrat should
o far forget himself as to disregard his party
liegIance, violate his own political sentiments.

which he is in honor bound, rs to throw OF ON
