The Russellville Democrat., 1876-10-19
NOVEMBER THE 7TH.

Only two weeks intervene be- tween next Tuesday and the 7th of November. Remember Demo- crats your duty on that day! Re- member, that it is no ordinary contest which is to be decided on that day. Be on hand and see that every democratic voter in your neighborhood goes to the polls. If you have a neighbor who wants to vote the democratic ticket, but who is too old, infirm or feeble in health to ride horse back to the election precinct, gear up your wagon and make him an easy and comfortable way to ride to the voting precinct.
 And you independent conserva' tive voters! let us appeal to you to consider well the vote you cast on that day. Remember the vote you cast must be either an en- dorsement or condemnation of all the misrule, all the prohigacy, all the corruption, all the uncon- stitutional abuse of power and all the unlawful usurpation of op- pressive and unjust power which has characterized the National Administration, while President Grant has been chief executive.
 Remember a vote for Hayes is an endorsement of all thls; but a vote
 for Tilden is rebuke and an un- mistakable condemnation. II you vote for Hayes you vote fol
 no peace between the North and
 South. If you vote for Tildenr
 you vote for Fraternity, Union
 Peace and Prosperity to the
 whole country-one free, united
 prosperous, indissoluble and
 equal galaxy of States. It is now
 or never. Mir. Charles Francis Adams in his letter to the Young
 Mems Democratic club of New York City, tells sober, forcible truth when he writes:
 "The experience of the las' eight years of shameful profligacy
 in the direction of public affairs beginning with the history of tn, Credit Mobeller and concluding with the exposures made durin. the last session of Congress
 points to but one safe result to b arrived at in the present election That result is a thorough chang of administration. l, for one, an . tired of compromises with corrup , tion and pledges of future amend f. ment, while the same fatal influ ences that have brought us t disgrace continue in the ascend : ant.

SHALL WE ORGANIZE?

The State Executive Commit tee, although they have been very tarty in saying or doing anything looking to an organization of the party, has at last issued an cxcell- ent address to the District and County Executive Committees, recommending and urging thor ough organization of the party in every district, county and town ship in the State.
 We desire to add our earnest ertreaty to the recommendations of the State Executive Committee and hope this matter will be at once taken hold of by those in our county who are empowered to act Tn the premises. The fact that our party is now largely in the majority does not excuse such a struggling, undisciplincd condi- ton of our forces as is to day presented and which renders our great strength of numbers un- wieldy and in a measure unavail- able. A large army without or ganization and discipline is some times less desirable than small CT, but thoroughly organized and well drilled force which acts as a single man. The Democratic par ty of Arkansas, would have, to- day, mourned her reckless folly had it not been for her over whelming majority; for had the Republican party approached oul own party in anything like even numbers, we would have been ig nominiously defeated at our State election. And well it is for us in the matter of the Presidential Election that we have these over whelming numbers on our side for in our present condition WI would be in bad fix to meet th' well drilled enemy with anythin! like even numbers. It is a shame and reproach to our constituted party leaders that the party l not better organized. How care less and indifferent we are! Onl, a few years ago, when not nor than one out of five of our citizen enjoyed the boon of freeman the ballot-we thought that if W could wrench the yoke of tn. ty rant from our necks that we woul certainly adopt the motto, "Etel nal vigilance is the price of Lii erty' and always be willing 2 show our appreciation of ou dearest rights. But how are W acting now? Is our enemy dead No, indeed Not even does h slumbcr The same party ol bl

If there is. any doubt of Florida and Louisiana, we could lose both of them and still have eight votes to spare, and out of this number we could give up California without de- stroying the margin. This, coo, while conceding to the Republicans Wisconsin, Illinois and Nevada-all doubtful States, but inclining to the Democracy, but casting ill all 34 votes.
 In view of these figures we are hardly permitted to question the triumph of our good Uncle Samuel. List. Louis Times.
