A Word to Democratic Green
hackers

This is no time for political experiments,
in wandering off after strange gods by
Democrats who have kept the faith and
made the good fight in the long years that
the Republican party has managed to con
troll the government, first by ianaticism,
then by force, and lastly by fraud. Judge
Thurman in a speech he made at London,
Ohio, few nights ago, said
EVERYWHERE have been in the State have
found tie party solid as one man. No party
was ever so well conditioned. If we lose
this election il will be baCause we have not
done our duty TO the cause we love, because
| we like our ease better than we do our party.
/ Let every Democrat do his duty at the next
I election, and we are certain of victory.
a fter the 4th of March next there viii be
/ a Democratic Senate in the United States.
! What a strange change, my friends
J " hen j entered the Senate there were but
| seven Democrats therein Afier ,Ae 4th of
7 March next we VIII have majority Of six,
! The Democratic House has been the means
| of accomplishing some grand results. It
| was the means OF restoring the silver coin
! age to circulation ; II was the cause of put
/ ting 4 saop 90 military interference with the
elections Of the State.
These things would have never been ac-
compIished had they been left to the Repub-
Gcaus. IL Democratic House has done so
much, what may we expect when We have
both branches of Congress-
This being the case, my friends, I believe
that every one of you who believes an Demo
cratic Driuciples-every one who believes
that the Republican policy is not wise pol
icy, believes 4here should be change in onr
I administration. / appeal to YOU to see that
you elect solid Democrat for .his Congress
sional district this fall. OF what use are
your Democratic principles il they are not
/ carried into effect. Do you ever reflect that
your influence in general government is con
fued to one day in two years? II Is only
oce day in this time that you have right q
decide what man yOu viii have TO make
yOur laws When you put In your ballot i
on shat paper IS inscribed the name of a Re
publican, how can you say that you have

/ effect
Faith is shown by works. The man VIII,
- sincerely believes in the principles of
Democratic party will see that he votes fo
the man wEO will carry those principles lnu
I effect
These words will answer as we'll fo
; | PENNSYLVANIA as for Ohio. Let Democrat
L who are impatient at the slow results tina
y follow their adherence to Democratic prin
J ciples aud support of the Democratic organ
e jzation, look at what we have achieved II
I nine years
In 1859 the Democrats in the Unite,
4 States Senate. numbered but eight Senators
. while in the House of Representatives W
bad but seyenty-one Representative
There was more than a two thirds Radlcl
majority in both branches, and that party j
q Congress was sup eme a. the law making
S power. The Presidents veto, a. AudreN
{ JoEuSOu found out, was a useless preroga
G tive This was The Congress that paSsf-
Il the act uUllifying the contract with Ia
# bOndholders, and Inaking.the bonds payabl
: in gold or silver coin by another act OF r'
: pudiatioD afterwards changed by this sam
z Republican party, in demonetizing silver,
i gold coin.
But look at the results brought about b
/ faithful adherence to the DemOcrauctspart
aud our constant appeals TO the patriotism
;, aud good sense of the people. We have la
