&rilden and Reform.
Editors OF the Register: R
l drop youa few lines touching the
political. status in old .Rpane. So far as
the great contest for the Presidency is
concerned; that Is, the contest between
Grantism, mlsrule, and the subordination
of the civil to the military power, the
final Capitalization of ali power, state
and municipal, in the federal head on
the one hand, and fair AID equitable
administration OF the general govern
ment in the spirit OF the constitution, and
In the interest OF the people, and the
happiness and welfare OF all succeeding
generations on the other, there has neve,
been. more active and cordial CO.
operation of the disatfec.ed elements
OF Radicalism with the conservative ele-
ment. IN its grand effort to rescue the
government from the iron grasp Of the
fell destroyer, under the specious guise oil
Repubh .anism, the hollow cry OF
Union, the stale thread bare, and deceit
full aphorism of "Let's have peace
than at this time: From the eyes OF the
thinking portion of the Radical party
Tho scales are rapidly dropping and in
spite ofthe fiauntin Of the "bloody shirt"
they are ranging themselves under the
banner of Tilden and Hendricks, the
Fabrius and Marcellus, the sword and the
shield of the Republic. The Cooper
sham is we'll understood in this section
and will not be able to command cor
poral guard II its support.
In reference to the county
ticket there is spirit of
cordial acquiescence, and the
manifestation of active zeal and CO.
operation in its support. a. NJ. Camp
bell, ESQ, nominee of the Democratic
Convention for Prosecuting Attorney,
has an opponent in the person OF one
who formerly and as long as the Rad
icals were in power, or had the least
prospect of retaining power, prosecuted
the conservative element, upheld the
registration laws, applauded the enforce
ment act to the bitter end, and felt glorl-
Gus and glorifed ell that was mean IN
the.inglorious and now forever detunct
carcass of Radical prescription. With
the serpent's vile and the
serpents cunning, when he saw the
hand writing on the wall he stole
into the Eden of the Democratic fold, and
with the words of i'll affected penitence
on his lips, has ever since been aspiring
to the highest positions in the gift OF the
party-w hich in the hour of its greatest
need he delighted to prosecute and .humil-
II
cratic conventions, and Departing ofsuc-
cess through its organized agencies, he
now throws his glove at It's feet and
defes its behests. "Oh, consistency, thou
art a Jewel" Mr.. Campbell has digni-
fed bis Office by bringing to his aid Il
ZEAL fidelity and ability rarely exhibited
in his position. :,
Now, il on the eve OF great national
struggle in the interest Of reform IN all
the departments of government, state and
national, an issue in which the
mechanics, labors and hard-fsted yoe-
| many of the land are, more than any
other class vitality, interested-an issue
in which the Democracy and Democratic
principles must fall or triumph. II, IN
view of the magnitude of the issues and
the responsibilities involved, the DemOc-
racy of Roane shall, by forsaking one
who has been ever true to the traditions
of their party, ana able and Jealous in
their advocacy, vote for, and elect, man
who has never buckled on the armor OF
their knighthood, or fought solitary
battle in favor of free govern
ment, and an untrammeled ballot,
except few feble and spssmodic and
abortive efforts after the field was won,
they will merit not only defeat, but the
scorn and contempt of every man IN
whose bosom beats u heart true to the
great principles of the Democratic
brotherhood. But l think | know the
Democracy Of Roane too we'll to appre-
herd result so disgracetul and hu-
! initiating. True to the integrity of their
principles, they will march TO the polls
in solid columns and elect the man who
mas ever been true to them, and whose
fidelity has ever shown brighter rs the
clouds of adversely 'thickcned around
them. Three cheers for Campbell and
the whole ticket! IIIALEs.
