CAN THIS BE TRUE:

Hon. c. L. Peers does not hest.
tate to say, in his speeches, that he
has seen 4 letter from Judge Fagg to
a Republican in Warrcnton, written
after he was nominated by the bull
frogs at montgomery City, stating
that he was just as good 2 Radical as
he ever Was, and that if elected he
will act with the Republican party on
all questions except absolute money
and the financial question. This is
Just as We have believed, and that he
was engaged IN the disEeputabie bust
ness of cheating Democrats out of
their votes by fraud and falsohood.
We give rs tice TO Haley, Wright Il
Co. of this county, that they are
being duped and deceived by this
fraud. Ii you are Republicans, act
like men, and not try and cover up
your actions.

OUR YOUNG MEN CAN DO IT

The young men Of this city and
county can secure a Democratic vic
tory next Tuesday. Their power was
felt at the primary, and if they choose
they can make it count on the 9th.
In making this appeal 10 our young
men who have q future before them,
and desire that that future shall be
prosperous, we do nothing more than
ask them to work for what it is posi-
bic for them to secure. Young lei are
full OF activity, energy, courage and
vim. They a do more than the old
folks: let them, therefore, make
the resolve, turn out and work and
victory will perch on our banners.
Young men, let your power be
felt.

I MUST BE CALLED.

The Troy Herald says that Fagg,
in his speech at New Hope last week,
in reply to the question what he
would do with the Sedalia platform,
said that she would kick it from I'M
der him'-and that lie stood square
on the Jefferson City platform. This
was in q strong Democratic town
ship, and Fagg had no doubt forgot
ten that he had been nominated by
the Britton Hill faction. What will
our absolute money idiots say now:
They will make Fagg get down and
out, and put Ed. Wright. in his
place. 1t is more than they can
stand to be cheated in this way.

DO WE WANT HIM?

Docs the people of Audrain county
want to put a man in the collectors
office of Audraln county who offers
to buy the office, and at the same
time is delinquent 6 or Z years fer
his own taxes? On examination we
find that Mason Is. Mcdonald is in
debted to this county for back taxes
$3.50 or $500, being delinquent since
1873 Do we want such a man as
our collector? Guess not.

After showing hat TIE finance
views of these two parties very yearly
accorded, if B. A. Hills follies we're
dropped by the latter, he proceeded
to point out the want Of practical
fitness in the course pursued by the
Greenbackers. Instead of assisting
Democrats, they had fused with cCm-
munists, and were demanding not
grcenbacks, but absolute money. He
told the Greenbackers present that
the next Congress would be Demo
cratic, that in 1880 apresident would
be elected by the same party, that it
would be impossible, 10 matter how
many elections they might carry this
fall, to accomplish anything in the
national councils for years without
Democratic aid, and the best way to
Obtain it was 10 fraternize with that
party.
