This IS the cs.cc5e Of our great Ccntennial, and
now we are 10 commence nov one. want
you TO recollect that am Republican of
the deepest dye, and although we have no
organization we ought to understand one
another. For rnysslf, expect 70 vote for
L. C. Carpenter for the Third Congressional
District and for tho entire Democratic State
ticket, with this exception. Let US now
pour oil upon the troubled waters, and go 10
the polls on the 9TH November and vote for
honest men but do not forget Hayes and
Wheeler. Try and shun the Radica, ring.

Swant to vote for Chamberlain let them vote

Now let us look to the finances and zee IL
there has been any corruption, and see what
has become of the money that has been paid
in for taxes, OF which the Democrats paid
The largest amount. Why not tlien throw

this has been my watchword for the last
four years. have always got plenty of
Labor to do, and at good pay. The Demo-
Gratis have never asked me to define my po-
sition or polio? before giving me work. If

pleasure to me? No. The reason tell you
lat 50" orght to vote for the National Re-
publican ticket Is because the contest in the
North is very different to what 1t is here In
the South. In tho Northern States the two
parties pay near equal taxes. A great many
of you know that organized the Republic
can party in this County, and assisted in
other counties, aud did 50 with no bitter
feelings, and thought that was right, and
think so still. Have 1 ever told you any
thing to do you harm or that would take
away my OF your rights? Bre will say to
you now that there is dcrker cloud hang
ing over my race of pee pie than any page in
history Inns ever .oid, provided we don't
well consideI and mould our destinies in
direct way. We have it in our hands for
veal or for woe. Would It not be much
better for the white and co,oTed to go to the
polls all peaceably end vote on the above
named policy, and come home rejoicing
over their victory in peace?
