The weekly clarion., 1877-10-31
To the Democrats and COmserva-
afVes oG Kinds.

We make a direct, earnest, and final
appeal to the Conservatives and Demo
Gratis of Kinds county to march solidly
together to the polls on the sixth of No
vember, as they did in 1879 76, and
vote the regular ticket from top to bot
tom.
The report has been industriously cir
culated by the Radicals and their new
allies-a few malconcents-that the gal
liant old county of Kinds desires to return
to the wicked embraces of the carpet
baggers, scallawags, and black liners. 1t
has gone abroad in the State, and out of
it, that Kinds county, in which the cap
tal is situated, intends throwing into the
teeth of Democratic Conservative ma
jorty malcontent and black-line dele
CATION to the Legislature. We do not
believe it.
We cannot believe that the county,
which from her position, had to furnish
an asvlum for all the Radical thieves who
were, for their crimes, expelled from
other counties in 1875, and was com
PEELED for the good Of the State, to sub
NIT to the insulting marches and counter
marches of Ames' black-lne militia, and
yet rolled up over fifteen hundred ma
jority for honest government, will be un-
true to herself now We cannot believe
that the county, in which sleeps the mar
tyred dead, VINO gave up their lives, and
bedewed her soil with their blood at
Clinton to arouse her to action will, at
this election, be recreant to her trust.
If there be any Democrat or any Con
servative, who was sincere and honest
when he marched with the grand army
of reform in 1873, and who now, on ac-
count Of local, or precinct jealousies, OF
perso lal preferences, contempLates voting
and working for any other than the reg
ular nominees of the party, to him we ap-
peal to pause and think before he does
that thing.
What objection can be urged to any
on the Legislative or county ticket.
Are they not all good men and true?
Every one old citizens and most of them
"native and to the manner born" OF
what consequence is it, if the majority
are from Utica, or Raymond, or Ed
wards, or Terry, or Brownsville, or Clin-
ton, or Jackson? L is all Kinds county,
and the shame will reflect alike on every
part of the county if they be defeated.
The eyes Of the whole State are upon
Kinds county. Her gallant sons can
save her from the reproach and shame
that the black-liners and their malcon
tent allies propose to put upon her if
they stand together and are true to
them selves The Radicals charge that
and the one before by intimidation. The
charges will be self-confessed if you per-
NIT few malcontents to place her back
under carpetbag, scallawag, and black
line influence.
Democratic Conservative Of Kinds,
are you prepared to make such a confess
sion? Are you willing to share in the
shame that will be entailed upon your
county? She expects, and her honor de-
mands, that every true son of our gallant
old county, that was in the forefront of
the battle of 1878, do his duty now. The
Radicals are at work The malcontents,
(thank God they are few and far be
tween) are busy as bees: The black
liners are beginning to swarm. Why
stand ye idle?
Buckle on your armor and close up the
ranks. Go to work to man. Work
until election day. Let there be 10
scratching. Go to the polls on Tuesday
the sixth of November, and ELECT THE
REGULAR TICKET.
