The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1875-12-09
ORGANIZED ORGANIZED

as "ta'l' IN the Democratic V0-
cabulary. 1t is only when we have
chickering's and misunderstanding in
our own ranks, that our political op-
ponerts pick up courage and make a
and sonnet mes successful
fight. 1t is a scriptural truism that
"a house divided against itself can
not stand" An army, to be success
must be well organized and agree
to unite as one man in an effort to
accomplish the object in view-the
defeat of the enemy. If they fail to
do this, and go into battle in a dis
organized condition, with jealousies
and heart burnings ranking in their
own breasts, they will, nine times
out of ten, fall an easy prey to an
inferior but better disciplined enc
my. No body of meT, no party, can
hope to be successful in the absence
of union and harmony, and a firm
and unyielding determination not to
be conquered. Such being the case,
how important it is that those who
expect to fight against the present
corrupt party in power, should think
of these things and then act as be
comes men and patriots. In less
than one year from this time, we will
be called upon to decide the impor-
tant and momentous question of who
shall govern us for the preceding
four years. question which is
fraught with more than ordinary
Importance to the Laborer, Mechan-

Ohio, can calmly and quietly fold
his arms in Indifference in a contest
like this? Let US all, fellow Demo.
Gratis and Independent voters, con
slider well the consequences that viii
ensue, should we neglect or refuse tc
discharge our whole duty in the
coming crisis. We have the power
to prevent the wholesale robberies
and corruptions that are disgracine
the fair fame of our country anc
place it out of the control of the
thieves and the Money Power, and il
we fail to use it, we are equally re-
sponsible for the consequences that
follow.
1t is our duty, then, as Democrats
as Independents, as law-abiding cit
zens, who have the good of the PEG
pie and the welfare of our country a
heart, to cast from us all asperity o
feeling, and at once determine upcl
effecting a "union of all good an,
honest men, opposed to robbery

rule, and in favor of REFORM. LIE
