not been till the last session of Congress
that the Democrats came to have "a ma

years, and that, although since thei
accession to power, they have catIseC
many wise and just laws to he enacted
and have attempted the enactment o
Others and failed; vet the failure Is nC
Fault of theirs, as they have been so un-
fortunate as not to have a twO-thirtL

scruple to use his veto power to accom-.

The Democracy will stand by its record

Justice and honor 10 say whether the
leaders of the National Republican
parry have within the whole time OF
their administration ever enacted a
single law without the aid of Democrats
that have not had tendency to cen

rights or the oppression of the people.
fIl.a =
Brigadier Generals Of thesOuthern army
in Congress and of our State ticket,
because they say il is composed of Con-
federate soldiers. What il this for?
Manifestly a. an appeal to the Federal
soldier. Who do they promotetO Office?
The Federal soldier? No. And except
Mr.. Evans at the head of their State
ticket, not a man Of them was Fed
erai soldier, although true and tried sol
diers were aspirs1nts to those offices and
rejected. Evans was only i'm the army
till about the battle of Shiloh, and then
some how or other got out, and this Rad
ical party beat General Murray, true
soldier, who went through the war
and came out hOnOrably, with that sort
of man, and now they appeal To the
Federal soldiers. Who do they make
Registers in bankruptcy? j. Il. Moore,
the Register for this District was "A
Southern soldier, and vet the Radical
party put him in Office over the Union
soldier. Who do they make Collectors
of Internal Revenue? W. y. Stuart,
the present Collector for this District,
was no soldier, and still this Radical
party beat Col. o. p. johnson, a gallant
Federal soldier, with him. Who do
they make gaugers and store house
keepers Who do they make post
masters? But recently at Hartford W.
G.. Morton, IA good man, and a soldier
who served faithfully through the war
i'm the Federal army, and came home
with an honorable discharge, applied for
post-Oflice there, and thepcOpie want
ed him, and yet the Radical party beat
him with II. p. Rowe, man who never
was u soldier. ID. l.. Smith, L. I. Cox
and w. u. Render were all Federal sol
diers, and dare say true ones, too, and
they We're in nomination before the con-
ventiOn that nominated DIR. MeadOr,
the Republican candidate for the Legis-
lature, and they were defeated and
MeadOr chosen; and he, too, was no Fed
eral soldier. 80 you see this stir about
Brigadier Generals and Rebel soldier
tickets Is all stuff and that the Repub-
lican effort 10 get the Federal soldier
vote is in keeping with their many other
false clamOrs. The Democracy hOnOrs
the Federal soldier, and promotes him
to office and takes pleasure in doing so.
Who represents this Senatorial District
in the Senate? Capt. >. F. Hill, a Fed
eral soldier. WHO'S your County Court
Clerk? Capt. ;. X. Cox, another Federal
soldier. Who put them there? Democrats.
And many Ofthe hest DemOcratsallO over
the country were Federal soldiers, and
are, or have been, hOnOrcd by the DEM
Ocratic party, and who Join me in de
nOuncing the leaders of the Republican
party. | say leaders because | do not
mean to apply what have said to all
Republieans-no by no means; for in
the file of the party are some of the
best men the world ever knew, and
many of whom are my personal friends,
and to whom | appeal for their votes

such increased maiOrities as will cause
our Democratic friends who have been
81 outraged by these schemers and
trickSters to realize that truth j. mighty
and as viii evidence to the world that
Ohio county and the proud old Com
mOnwealth of Kentucky have put the
seal of condemnation on this sOldier-at-
the pOlls-returning. g.boar,l-cOrruption. -
Democrats expect Democrats tOdo their
duty, and | urge every lover of liberty
and free government to join us and we
will not only ''retrench and reform" the
government, but We will show to his
Fraudulency Returning Board HAYS and
his abettOrs that the nation has "A sense
of its WRONGS, and that ''iife, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness are too sacred
to be entrusted to party, the record of
which is at war with them. Iappeal to
Greenbackers for their support-we are
substantially together on the money
question, and this is no time to have
hair-splitting differences. IL was by
an awkward circumstance i'm 1850 that
the Republicans got in power, and they
hold that power to-day by prOstituting
the offices of the Government. Re
member, eternal vigilance is the price
of liberty.
