4th of next March the Senate will
be Democratic. His Fraudulency
Returning Board Hayes will then be
the last remaining obstacle to Dem
oeratic rule in all the departments
of the government. In 1880 the
people will kick him out of the office
they never elected him to fill, and
then, and not till then, prosperity
will return to this sadly aff1ic-
ted country. The bondholders will
squeal awfully when the people get
their hands on their throats, but
squealing will not present the ont
ragged men from tightening their
grasp. This great country has been
run in the interest of the rich man
and against the poor man long
enough. There has got to be a
change.

We want the people of this Con-
gressional district to remember that
Robert L. Taylor is poor. He has
no money and has to work for his
living. Go to work for him as you
would work for your own son or your
brother. The Creator has endowd
him with a splendid mind. and bril-
liant talents, but as yet he has no
money in his purse. He is one of
our Mountain Boys and deserves our
votes. Let us give them to him free
ly. Remember his competitor has
been drawing a large salary for a
number of years from the Federal
government. He belongs to what
is known as the Custom house ring
and is backed up in this election by
the whole United State Treasury
and the entire Revenue Brigade of
this country. Stand by our Bob as
you would stand by your own flesh
and blood in this unequal contest.
Pettibone has good fat Office and
plenty of money. Let him retain
his present office and enjoy his mon.
ey. Let US vote for and elect this
native born East Tennessee young
man to represent an East Tennessee
constituency in the Congress of the
United States.

thing has ''busted;" the bottom has
fallen out. The great fraud COM

to kill it, and we predicted its death
