WHY 1sRAELITEs. SHOULD VOTE THE
DEMOCRATIC TICKET.

independent citizen who loves the
Democratic republic and is anxious
to uphold it; he must make the at
tempt to defeat the party in power
in the next presidential election, and
keep it out Of power until it has Civ
en- up its principle of Capitalization
and all the wrongs and corruption
springing from that source. 1tmust
give up extravaganza and advocate
economy. 1t must not breed and
defend corruption in official circles.
1t must not Christianize this people
and government. 1t must not advo-
cate scctarianism in public schools
and government institutions. 1t
must not make and enforce Sunday
laws and so-called temperance laws.
1t must not insist upon high tariffs
and huge manufacturing companies.
1t must give up class legislation; in
short, it must give up Capitalization
of power and wealth. The party
must be kept out of power until !.
shall have learned these wholesome
lessons. If we cast our votes in the
next presidential campaign for the
Republican candidates for president
and vice-president, we vote into pow
err the same nugatory principle
which under any man will and must
produce the same migratory effect
Hayes is no better man than Grant,
and can no better check the evils
which flow from the same source
with the same force. Hayes is nei-
Their more competent nor honest than
Grant can be or will he change the
principles Of his party, Or emanci-
pate himself from its statesmen and
politicians, which are the sources Of
all the corruption, misrule cxtrava-
gance, failure and bankruptcy. We
cannot vote again in favor of the
principle Of Capitalization.
1t is not in our power to organize
a new and pure Democratic party,
and nominate ideal candidates for
the highest offices; hence we are left
but ono choice, viz; to defeat the Re-
publican party, by voting for the
Democratic party, which as a party
is against Capitalization Of power
and wealth; is now BY the nature of
things the reform party, because it
is the opposition; is ID favor Of free
trade, state, municipal, and personal
rights, as guaranteed by the constitu-
ton, and is not guilty of any Of the
blunders and crimes springing from
the principle of Capitalization. We
must have a change, and we can only
effect it by voting with the Demo
cratic party. You say the Demo
cratic party in power will also steal
rob and annex; well, then, in four
years we will change again, and
change so long till honesty will be
the policy also of politicians. + y
TILDEN AND HENDRICKS.
Therefore, no choice is left us; we
must vote for Tilden and Hendricks,
who are opposed to Capitalization OF
power and wealth; and are not only
pledged to reform, but in position to
carry it out, as they need none of the
corrupting means to reach the end
Capitalization; which they oppose
So we feel, so we say, and so we will
vote, and so give it to our readers as
the humble opinion of disinterested
private citizen, who is no politician
DESERVING THE REPUBLICAN, PARTY
The Republican party claims tt
be the reform party, and Gen. Sher
man confirms it. Why desert it
The answer to this query is plain
because the godfathers of the part,
and its greatest men, those who bull
it up aud brought it to power. Sew
ard, Chase, Sumner, Banks, johnson
Greedy and many others, deserted i

tralization and eAsravagance, breed

SoMatesM cling to the party in pow
