OF CHRISTIAN COUNTY.

We are now coming up face TO face
with the great political enemy of our
country. On next Tuesday we fight
the Waterloo battle that determines
the fate of all the great relief measures
by which a country is TO he relieved Of
an oppressive and odious political pow
er, welded for the rich monopolist, and
TO the detriment, degradation and en-
poverishment of the :oiling masses.
We want the plow and the loom to
move with the prospect of remunera-
ton, the hammer and the anvil TO
sound their merry ring with certain
~ of support; We want the waters
covered with the sails Of our ships and
commerce steadily advancing; we want
the people industrious, happy and pros
porous, money plenty, sales lively and
wages ample. To accomplish this we
must vote right, secure the election of
men TO Congress who favor the meas
ures that will bring all this as a real
ity. And this can be done by casting
YOUR vote for the Democratic candi-
dates for Congress. We must have a
working majority in that legislative
body 10 carry out the measures of the
people. Rally, rally; vote for McKen-
zie. See that nothing keeps you at
home on next Tuesday. BE at the
polls aud cast your vote for that ster
ling fast friend Of the people who will
use all his influence, his talent and his
time in the interest of true relief meas
ures for the redemption Of the coun-
try from ruin, starvation and poverty.
Greenbackers, vote for Mckenzie. He
is your only hope. Democrats, vote
and be active. Throw away the scab-
bard, and fight this Waterloo battle.
On it hangs the hope and destiny of
our common veal. Stand by the gal
liant Mckenzie. He is at the head of
the column.
Greenbackers, you cannot elect Mr..
English. You have not the strenth.
You cannot vote for Mr.. Feighan. He
is opposed to you. You can cooperate
with the Democrats in securing all
you ask by voting for James Mckenzie.
Act wisely, honestly and for the good
of our country, for your homes, for
your real interest in all your business.
In all You hope for, do your duty,
your whole duty, and vote for Nc
Kenzie.

doubtedly. be dry to most OF your readers.

pose. if permitted, to occupy a little of

discussion.

Rowe majority here, (Centertown,) in
spite OF the efforts of such men as Sam

precincts. or something else. there is not
much telling what The main bone of
contention seems to be covered up in fuss
and feathers, and the affair seems now to
be more like a writing match than a
straight forward discussion. The desire
to beat is now the ruling one Siguum-
squeecy, who seems to be the head clerk
or secretary for Morton Wade, & Co.
claims that the "such" in Adonis obnox-
ious letter, implies that the gentlemen
before whose names it is placed are scal-
awags, scum of society &c. Not to help
AdoDis, but merely for the sake Of the
little word ITSELF venture to take issue
with the gentleman. Such. in that SEN
tence. implies scallavags no more than 1t
implies monkeys or popcorn. ltas near
ly implies the age, size and complexion
of the gentlemen named, as their social
position. A stranger reading the letter
would gain from it the impression that
Sam Norton. Burks Wade. Wes Warden,
Jim McIn,yre and Jim Hatcher were
fellow Democrats and CO. workers in the
Democratic vineyard, in opposition TO
Mr.. Rowe. This idea. nothing more.
nothing less, could have been gained. If
| were to guess the whole trouble,
would say that some Of the gentlemen
mentioned by Adonis did not relish the
companionshipin which they were placed
Mr.. so and so don't like to be mentioned
in the same category with Mr. such and
such. Now. this in only a guess; but |
am firm in the beleif that it strikes the
truth. II SO, it would be the best course
tor those who are offended to designate
their Objectionable classmates, and fight
t out on that line" or else "grin and
bear it," Perhaps the latter course would
be best, for If it should come to desirna-
ting, it might cause "wheel within
wheel" or in other words, there would
arise little fuss among themselves.

~ is based on the declaration OF Jefferson,
that "all men are created equal" and the
dogma so vigorously supported by the
same great statesman that this is Re
public of free. sovereign and independent
States. On these fundamental doctrines
has been built up an organization which

We Go on 10 Victory.

We regard the November election
of too much importance to permit any
division in the Democratic party toll
cradle here in our district. Mckenzie
will carry the strength of the party,
and will be returned to Congress. We
have no independent candidate. The
Democratic banner is in the hands of
gallant chief, who carries it on TO
certain victory. We are not encum-
bered or antagonized by Independent
candidates, who claim TO be loyal to
the party. yet refuse to he governed
by its voice. We have no Judases, no
lagos, but fight this battle in an open
field. with an open foe. Our party
has nothing to fear from division. We
must, il the grcenback party study
their interest, have additional strength,
for English cannot hope 10 carry a
single county, and as Mr.. Mckenzie
is in full accord with the main feature
of the Greenback policy, they will be
represented by an able and talen ted
Greenback Democrat. Mr.. Feighan
the Republican candidate being OPP
posed to greenbacks, cannot possibly
look for support from this third party.
Our district is in a safe condition, and
all We have to do, is to go to the polls
in November and vote for Mckenzie,
and be sure you attend TO your duty,
for our gallant nominee has done his
and now looks trustingly to every true
Democrat TO follow his noble example.
In the Paducah district and in the
Louisville district the party has per-
mitted itself to be swindled by the
reprehensible obstinacy of aspirants
who ought to be forever disastrously
beaten. and We hope the Paducah dis
trict will teach Turner q lasting lesson
for his injurious course to the party.

was most desired. So ought all disor-
CANNED and obstinate ambitious aspir-
ants who disregard the good of the
