their act and the folly OF their leadtt.
II is useless TO mention the bcnrhe'a al re
suits of Democratic rule IN the otAle ah h
National Legislation Of the country Tue
history of the same is fresh IN the mihh OF
every voter in the land, and while this party
has done much to redress the wrongs anu
alleviate the burdens upon the people tnerS
is still much more to be- accomplished anu
at this time when the Democratic party y
about to get pOss eSsion of both brahcnfs O'

abandon her and join i'm an experiment leu
bv a sore-headed Democrat and supported
by party, which we know by SAD eXperl :
ence TO be inimcal to the best interest OF
the country, is i'm our opinion the height oil
folly.
No, fellow-citizens of Chickasaw, we have
nothing to gain by joining in this move iol
all that the most sanguine supporters OF
the Greenback party hope to accomplish
can be better achieved in the Democratic
party and besides If YOU encourage TINS
movement you weaken your party orgahi-
cation, and in future elections IN your coun-
ty and State you will fall an easy victim 70
Radical rule.
This movement comes to us under new
name. but when you ply the probe to the
putrid carcass you will find the old Radical
corpse covered with thin layer of green
backs.
Now let us entreat you. il you value the
sacrifices made, and the victories won III the
campaign of 1875 and 1876, let this move
m ent alone. and rally to that party Which
alone can give permanent peace aud pros
perity to the country. and To this 8nd we
earnestly urge every club in the county TO
organize at once. Put yourselves in work
ing order, for the same party which you met
and defeated at the polls in 1915 and 1876 Is
now in your front with new leader and a
change only In name.
