DEMOCRATS!
stand Your Ground-stand by the Ban
ner OF the PartY-V0te the straight
Ticket without n Scratch, and
Vote Early.
Don't Vote for q Man on the Radical
Ticket BegOtten by Jas. w. Ander-
son, Turner. KOrtrechf, Pierce,
Garrett, and Francis ThOmp-
sons Ghost.

EprroRs APPEAL-My advice to my fell
low Democrats is, stand firm under the old
Democratic banner and the battle will be as
easily won as it was four years ago. Come
early to the polls, bring your lunch and a
canteen of buttermilk or hard cider, take of
your coat, unbutton your shirt collar and roll
up YOUR sleeves, and work with a determlna-
ton and zeal, as when we elected ID. q. Sen
ter governor, and we will wax the warp and
filling out of this lgnomlnlous and lnslgnlh-
cant, mongrel crew. we VIII bury tnem so
deep under the political sod that no trace or
resemblance of their remains can be found.
We have triumphed glonously In days gone
by over the tyrants yoke OF oppression, when
he was backed and bolstered up with
the purse, the sword, and ,glisten-
ing bayonets, and shall it be said
now, in this bright and suspicious year 1878,
that the Democracy and conservatism W.
Shelby county permitted this crowd of 70 of
dies, roughs and communists to sweep this
country God forbid it. Let your good,
sound sense and better judgment predoml-
nate; and when you do so there will be no
question as to the honest conclusion; you will
vote the Democratic and Conservative ticket
without scratching single man on the ticket.
Compare, will you the two tickets, and the
guarantee and promises held out by each
party. The self-styled =" Nationals have
not, IN the whole broad land OF the United
States, an officer IN power. Ihey
member of the legislature, sheriff, judge,
clerk or constable; they have no money, and
no national organization; they have nothing to
do ANYTHING with. Then what do their prom
ises amount to? Trust them not; they are
not composed of that class OF citizens that
would carry out promise or pledge, even II
they had the ability to do So. You must re-
member that the leaders OF this party are I'M
reliable men: they have been weighed In the
balance and found wanting; they have had
important trusts and public funds under their
control; they have squandered and stolen
| thousands of dollars from the people OF TINS
county and State-and will you trust them IN
this new role of righteousness and pre-
tended honesty? See what their mouth
! pieces are resortiDg to. Lles upon lies, SIAN
derous and bitter accusations, are daily pub
| lished against the honest, faithful and eticl-
ent servants Of the people who have been
| tried and found worthy OF public trust. l
doubt whether if the blacklist and most
| damnable cess pool of pandemoDium were
| purged of its most despicable characters,
| there could be found one who could compete
with the vile and unmitigated falsehoods
| that have appeared in the organs OF this
| National rabble during the last four weeks;
and yet they both have the effrontery to say
to the public that they are impartial, and IN
dependent in politics; will take
sides with neither political. party,
| but are free to critlcise and
report all items of public interest, etc:
| God SAFE as from such impartial journalism!
Save US from such damning effects as these
| two organs are now attempting to lnaugurate
| upon the public welfare, as well as private
interest They would destroy the very toun-
| datlons of society, the peace and quletude OF
a w-abiding people, by encouraging and
| melting mob. There Is nothing solid, rell-
able or decent in this new born party. Gen,
| tlemen, decent people and good citizens Will

| new born babe with the slime yet upon It,
| James w. Anderson, Kortrecht and q. Z. Nj.
| Turner are the three daddies of this eighteen
months babe, and Garrett, Pierce
and Frances Thompson's ghost, | suppose,
must be its mother. 1t Is a trifold thing, and
must have a trifold origin, for it combines
the workingman,- the communist and the
Radical, and yet 1t is not happy. This triple
parental combination cannot control him, but
on Thursday, August LIST, we will slap the life
out of him; and for his winding sheet we Will
wrap that impartial Journal, the Ara-
lanche, around its sinking carcass. and for
its diaper, we will paste few Heratds under
it, and consigu it to the mire IN Happy Hol-
low or HELPS Half-Acre and erect one OF Jim
Anderson's cheap monuments over 1t, with
this inscription: "There lies the truth (lf 1t
ever was In you, it is in you still; 1t never
months; died from 4 combination OF
croakers, sore-heads and ward bunmers,
and from inability to comply with the
promises of Boss Turner, Duval, Kortrecht
and others to food the country with green
backs, was not even able to furnish each col,
ored man with bow basket full" We will
drape the mighty Apalanche and Herald with
Grape for sixty days, and will warn them Of
the folly of second attempt to try such
racket in November. There is an asplran'
for congress from each paper, wearing the
editorial robe, but we will make them so sick
so sad, on Thursday, that they will forget the
names of their grandfathers. Prepare your
selves boys, for the conflict and we will ye
be happy. JERICHO.
