October 2nd 1879

Mr.. Editor,-As / know YOU, and
very many of your readers are deeply
Interested in the success OF our candi-
date for the State Senate, Z. Boyd
Faulkner, Esq, in fact the whole
Democratic, Conservative Ticket, l
thought l would write you short COM
muncation in regard to our prospects in
this county.
MIR. Faulkner has been making some
very effective speeches at different
points in our county and from every
quarter, We learn, that he has not only
given satisfaction, but, has convinced
many of the voters, that his position on
the questions that now agitate the minds
of the people, are correct, and meet the
wants and necessities OF the times.
In the early part of the campaign it
was difficult to determine, how far the
Greenback party would be able to divert
the attention and support of the Demo
cratic and Conservative voters, but the
political horizon is now clearing up, and
cusrya0here, those who were at first
drawn aside by the clap-trap nonsense
and ta!lacious arguments of the would
be saviours of the country, are falling
back into line with us,-well convinced
that the relief that they need can only
be secured through the Democratic,
Conservative party of the country.
The platform adopted by our County
Convention meets the issue square.y,
and will satisfy every democrat that will
give it careful consideration.
Our candidates all stand on it, and it
has given general satisfaction. 1t has
been read by many of the voters OF yoar
county and is heartily endorsed by them
as the true policy to be pursued.
The Hon. A. X. Syester of Maryland
well known throughout this whole sec
ton of country, as gentleman of SPLEEN
did abilities, was in our town few
days ago and he endorses every word
of it, he says it accords precisely wth
his uiew,, and he carried with him a
copy of it, for use in his own state.
Ii the election were one month hence
the opposition TO our ticket would
scarcely have respectable following;
as it is, they are growing small by de-
grees and beautifully less every day.
The people must see that a small mi
nority can not accomplish anything;
that the great Democratic Conservative
party OF this country will have both
houses Of Congress, next session, and II
alone, cGn and must settle and ADJUST
all the questions OF finance, as well as
the general policy OF this government
and country.
1t is 80 plain to any man with a very
moderate share or common sense, who
will tor a moment allow his reason to
assert itself, that after the most gigantic
fraud that has ever been perpetrated
upon amy people or earth, that an out
ragged people will redress this wrong,-,
that there can be but one verdict, and
that must be in favor of the Democratic
Conservative party: the party that soon
will not only remodel and shape the
financial and commercial policy OF this
great country, but start it again in
new career of greatness and prosperity
Give a lever long enough and aplace
to rest i, on and the old philosopher
could move the world.
Give a motive strong enough toi
doing ANYTHING and determination
steady enough, and no desire that takes
possession of the people is impossible
certainly the motive to redress the
wrongs under which we now groan IL
sufficient and powerful enough to move
the masses to come. to the rescue.
Therefore let all rally TO the great
Democratic Conservative party which
alone can save US from ruin.
Mr.. Faulkner has everywhere by his
eloquence and strong logic as speaker
not only convinced the people that The
relief sought for can only be secured by
the Democratic party, but has shown
himself 10 be gentleman OF learning
and ability, as well as Of large expert
ence in public affairs.
He wH represent this district in oul
neat Senate with the ability and states
manslp that belong to Iiper years, and
we will be proud to point to him as oul
representative. His election is certain
beyond any per adventure, and in tact
so may it be said of the whole ticket in
our county as well as yours, if the PEG,
Pile will do their duty and so to the
polls.
All we want, all we could desire
would be a full vote and the result
must be, that all our candidates will
be elected; therefore let there be no TN
difference or unconcern, but let all Dem.
ocratic, Conservatives and Republicans,
who are interested in the prosperity and
success of our state and national gov,
ernnents, vote the Democratic Conser'
vative ticket.
DO not let anything prevent You
from dischargiug your duty by going
to the polls; see that aH your friends
are there, aud when the polls are closed
on Tuesday evening next, you will have
the happy consciousness of feeling that
you have done your duty to your state
and people. VEklIAS.
