Why Democrats should Vote tho Democratic



Democrats of Union! allow no personal prcju-
diees or feelings to smerrs you from the strict
line of duty at the ballot bOx nsSt Tuesday.-
There's not man now upon the RADICAL icket
who is really competent to fill the Office for
which he is nominated.
Tench, Long and James have declared that
they are not candidates, therefore you cannot
couscisntiously vote for them. In saying
they are not candidates, they say they do
not want your votes at this election. Those
WHO remain upon the radical ticket arc only
running to help Mobly keep together the negro
vote, of the County, solid, for the election of
1880. They d9g gtexpect tobe elected this time;
but if they can Keep the iegfo vote organized
in caclS hOro to garry the State, by
that Vote, for Grant for President, in 1880. BY
voting with and for them, you encourage and
strengthen them. The most the radicals cX-
pect to do this year is to test thc strength of
tacir yose in the State and find out how many
weak-kuce democrats they can carry in 1880.
The democratic vote this year will bc as much
agains. Grant, Radical U. $ Marshals, Revenue
and other Federal officers, rs if Grants Electors
were to be voted for next Tuesday.

The above is what we heard IOng.tlmc dcm-

didate on the democratic ticket. Now, We arc
satisfied that chat man would sutlcrhis right band
TO be cut oil before he would cast n vote for
any candidate on tho radical ticket. lie is 700
true n man TO do that; but we ask him What Is
the difference between voting for a radical and
"scratching'' the name of Il candidate on the
democratic ticket? We can sec but iitlc. lo"
don vote against the radical, m Scratching the
democratic ticket that sure, and hy not voting
for the democrat you reduce his vote that much,

A Pointed Question.

A Pointed QUESTION.
1t is well i,uown tha! many of the nominees
on the democratic ticket. were not our first
choice, and We think it is rs we'll known that
not one of the candidates on the radical ticket
was either the first, second or last choice of any
raighout democrat in the county.
Now it is certain that every one of the dem
ocratc nominees we're the choice of number
of good men of the party. Well, suppose we
were to say hat we would not vote for those on
the ticket who we did not like? Would not
the friends of those men denounce us rs n traitor
to the party and the cause of democracy? OF
course they would; and we would not blame
them for it, provided they were willing to vote
for our candidates OH the ticket as well as their
own. No man can expect to have his own choice
in every candidate, and if he gets onc-half to
suit him, decent respect for the friends OF the
other half should induce him to do for them and
their candidates what he expected they would do
for him AMI his candidates on The same ticket
vote for them. How much worse would il lac TO
vote for candidate on the radical ticket who Is
opposing every candidate on your own ticket.
WARNiNG TO DEMOcRATS.-"Now, our destiny
is in our own hands, and if the Democracy fail
in anyasingle thing, the burden Of shame will
rest upon the, whAs'Peopls of of.hs;Ssun'y who
allow Friendship or prejudice to move them to
such support OF the Radical nominees as pre-
vents the election of the whole Democratic tick

II large ajorly We have not the shadow Of

ton TO swallow a democratic ticket that 'will

man VII. we supposed intended to either vote

dice and personal feeling. The boys who wore

vidual Judgment as u rule of action, and refuses
to act in full and perfect accord with our plat

/ Thirty Thousand Pound Bank Note.

An extraordinary affair happened
about the year l1.iO. unco Of thcdircct-
ors Of the bank Of England, very
rich man, had occasion ter 9So,Ooo,
which he was to pay rs tho price Of an
estate which he had just bought, 70
facilitate tho matter he carried the
sum to the bank and obtained for ita
bank note. On his return he was
called upon Oh important business.
lie throw the note CNrCloSsly on tho
mantlepicCc, but when he came lMek
to look il ny, il was not to hc found,
no one had cntcrod the room; he
could not therefore suspect any person.
AT last aitcr much Intellectual search
he WAS persuaded that II had iallcn into
the fire. The director went 20 aCVuamt
his colleagues with his misfortune, and
as he was known to ho a perfectly
honest man, hc WAS readily believed.
II was only about twenty-iour hours
from the time that he had deposited
his money, and they thought that 1t
would hc hard Ia refuse lis request for
a second note. He received II upon
giving M obligation to restore the first
note If il should ever lie found on pay
the money himself II il should over hc
presented Ivy amy stranger About
eighty years nlterward (thc director
having long since been dead M m-
known man presented the lost note ut
tho hnnk and demanded payment, II
was in vain that they mentioned 70 this
person the transaction by which that
note MAS mmuled; lac would not listen
to il. He maintained that il had como
to him from abroad and insisted on
payment. The note WIS payable to
bearer, and the 100000 were paid 10
him. The heirs or tho director would
not listen lonny demands ol restitution,
and the bank was obliged 10 sustain tho
loss Il was discovered afterwards that
M architect having purchased the
directors house, had taken m order to
build another OF the same spot, and
found the note IL the creyice ol the
chimney, and made his discovery an
engine for robbing the bank, m which
he Was entirely successful.
