ssRaIIy Round the Democratic Flag"
EDITORS APPEAL-In the course of human
events it becomes proper to change about
little and solve the mystery, what is it that
makes eur land so poor, what is it that makes
labor so scarce? This is the cause: There is
not a proper government; there Is too much
Radical rule. How can this country ever ex-
pect to get along without good government?
This baby that is Just born thinhe to take all
power out of the Democrats bands. But
when will the time come when the Nationals
will have power in the United States?
Never. Will the public forsake that old ship
that has stood so long, to go to the baby just
born-this Radical, this Republican, this Ma
tional? The public are not surely going to
throw their votes away on the National ticket.
and why not? Because it has not got good
constitution. Stick to the old Democracy; it
never fails, and why? Because it has good
foundation stone. Now, fellow citizens,
come back to US, one and ALL, white and
black Come one, come ali. The gang
plank is down, you need not be afraid OF
stepping into the water. Come and let the
old Democratic flag support you once again.
Let US all be ready in 1880 to elect Demo
cratic President, and then we will see what
can be done for the wants of the country.
Then shall we say hurrah for the old Democ-
racy Till we get Democratic rule in the
United States, and not till then, will the U nj
- how, xxTaS I1ai
have a country Of the first magnitude. let
US see what have the Nationals done. They
have produced starvation, and stagnatlon t.
ali business. Therefore | say come back tC
the old ship and the old platform. The De.
mocracy, while it had power, what did 1T do
1t done all that was IN Its power. Inc Rad
| icals, while they had power, what did they
do? Simply nothing, except they robbed the
| country of what little money 1t had. Now
fellow citizens, let the old Democratic fae
unfurl its folds once again over your heads
And now all we have to do is to strive to VIII
this great political victory, and L feel SURF
| that in 1880 the Democratic flag will wave
triumphantly over the capitol at Washing

Democratic Me WnsG. at the Eight
The Democracy of the eighth ward held
rousing meeting last night at the Popla
street market. The evening was pleasant

candidates of the two tickets to be voted fc
to-day and stated that the defeat of the Dem
ocratS in this local issue meant their defeat i
the coming national elections for both con

any more National calomel as gwen by tn,
