1.-THE BOYS" young aud old. are
woI king to wIn-and they cW win.
VIM. Ii. BAILEY will he our next
Chancery Clerk. beyond the per-
adventure of a doubt.
The August men now hive two
Johns-KIug john, and the King
jester, John Of Beat 2.
THE Democratic lions skin has
been tom from the l!Olting donkey,
and the mOngrel now stands reveals
ed in all it's hiieous assininity.
! FORTY THOUSAND Independent
tickets have been paid Tor by a
stall wart- Republican. Yet it is IL
Simon pure Democratic ticket-Oh,
yes, to be course.
JUDGE DOWNS told client that
a deed which was written on the
first day of January was invalid be-
cause of it's date. Yet the Judge
wants to make some laws for US.
THERE is but one DEMOCRATIC
ticket in Madison county, and that
is the ticket of July 7th. Don't be
deceived by any statements to the
contrary.
REMEMBER if the Independent
ticket ia elected, the members of the
Legislature will be excluded from
the Democratic caucus, and Madi>
sou county will be without represen
tat!on.
WHY did not the August 4th
Convention nominate colUred man
for ChanceIy Clerki 1t would
have shown some magnaninity,
strengthened their ticket and lifted
The veil that covers their hypocrisy.
Judge Downs last Wednesday
night at Madisonvllle, in the course
OF political discussion, declined to
say whether he would vote for the
nominee of the Democratic party
for President in 1880, and yet asks
and expects the support of Demo.
Gratis in MaeIson county.
THE very leaky ship Bob Tail will
start for hradwaters of Salt River
on the 9Th prOx. Apply at the
Canton Democrat office for passage.
Soreheads and RAIDS are fast filling
the berths. The captains chief aux
iety is about the s'bureau," which
don't fill worth a cent.
An active canvasse: in the inter
est of the Independent ticket, said
in speech at Livingston last week,
that lie was for everything indie
pendent, from Senator to Constable,
and against everything Democratic,
and yet his name appears on the
ticket which MIR. JnO. Handy terms
the Democracy.
THE August Statesmen seem to
be in a state OF apprehension, icst
Tom Singleton may succeed o. II.
in Congress. Doubtless, they have
in their own ranks various and sun
dry wOuld-5e successors to the
colonel. but somehow the voters
can't see their fitness for rbe sue
crssiOn. The toga of Madison's
greatest son will never enwrap the
form OF a Bob-tail. The armor of
the Democratic giant won't fit al
independent pigmy.
Re at the polls early Tuesday
morning, and work for the Whole
ticket until the Last vote has been
put in the box. Look out for fraud
ulrnt tickets. Read them over
carefully, and see that every nomi-
nre's name is on them. Let no Dem
Ocrat stay away from the polls, on
the ground that his vote will not be
needed. The peace, happiness and
prosperity of your children depend
upon your action in this contest.
Tom SINGLETON is making this
canvass on his own merits. In tai
ents, in education, in true manly
honor-he is the peer of any man
in the State, and is far above the
low level of his detractOrs. All
attempts to injure him by whisper
ings and "Ihey say" will return to
plague the inventor. He is the chOs-
EN- representative OF the young
men of Madison, and by him they
will stand squarely, first, last, and
all the time.
ALL MUST REMEMBER that soon |
after his nomination by the Boilers
Matthew Levy de-
bounced our registration law, pass
ed by Democratic Legislature for
the purpose of preventing illegal
voting, Ms q "damnabie peice OF
trickery." In a speech
at Livingston, Judge Downs was
forced, Tor the purpose of pandering
to negro prejudice, TO get gu the
platform built by Levy's hands, and
ne united ia Lrvy's deuunciatiOn of
i as oppressive, &c and pledged
himself to wo'k for its repeal if
elected to the RgislatuIe e; and thus
he negro, encouraged by the white
nan, dictates 10 his white cOllea>
cues what platform they shall stand I
IN and what issue shall be discussed
u this campaign. We ask you men
II Madison, if Radicalism was ever I
vurse than this, and whether War {
Ter ever panderrd to negro prcju-
lice ia vilcr nxuuer
