The Democrats Of Noble county held a
mass meeting at Caldwell on the 18th,
which was addressed by Judge Thurman.
A Liza Pinkston banner was stretched
across the main street, and the delega-
CiOns that came in carried banners upon
which were inscribed all sorts of disloyal
sentiments, and the air rung with cheers
for JEFF. Davis. Great excitement was
caused by the information that a delega-
tion was on the way to the town CARRYING
bloody shirt-Rnd a rebel flag. The old
veterans and the loyal people of the town
asserted that they should never be car
ried through the town. Some of the
marshals, seeing that trouble would fol-
low In case the attempt was made, went
out and met the delegation and had the
flag and bloody shirt concealed.

Cunning,

In counties where the Democratic party
have decided majority they never pro-
pose to swap votes with the Republicans.
1t is only in Republican counties where
a Republican is approached with this
kind of proposition: Mr.. Republican.
II you will vote for our Democratic can
didate for Representative will vote for
your candidate for Governor, or almost
any other Republican on your ticket, >
But these dickering politicians are
promptly met with this reply: 50 No stree
nary swap"

A Solid Republican Vote VIII
Win

1t is to be hoped that every Republican
in our county will feel that it is his duty
to go to the polls on the 14th of October
next and vote the entire Republican
ticket. The principles of the party are
worthy of being perpetuated if a repub-
liean form of government is worth saw
ing. If We fail in this grand object it
will be because too many Republicans
rest easy, and, instead of going to the
polls and voting for candidates who stand
pledged to carry out the principles of the
Republican party, allow the defeat of
their candidates by trusting to others to
do all the voting, or by splitting their
tickets and squandering the strength of
the Republican party upon the enemies
of republican principles, thereby giving
their political opponents the power to
misrepresent the true sentiments of an
absolute majority of the people. The
power of political party. like ali other
power, is either right or it is wrong
Now, Republican friends, we will not in
suit your reason by asking you which
you think is the safest power in which tC
Il
Of course, as Republicans, you will say
Let us put the power to govern in th'
hands of Republican rulers" Then, ii
this view of the case, is it not your dutI
to come out and cast your votes solidll
for Republican candidates? MajOritie
are made up of individual votes, as tn
greatest rivers are made mp of drops o
water. Let us remember, then, if w
wish to perpetuate Republican principle
we must elect Republicans to sustain an
carry them out, for Democrats will neve
do it. If You have a Republican neigh
, bor who does not realize the importane
and the necessity of going to the poll
and casting vote to sustain his politics
principles, go to him and impress upo
, him the necessity for every Repnblica
to go and vote. Hunt up every Republ
can, and see to it that every voter is {
, the polls. This is no time for our polit
cal friends to rest or go to sleep upon the
arms. The Democrats will all be at II
D polls, ready to deposit their ballots f'
their own candidates. Let our Republ
g can friends be unusually Yigilant and d
r termined to win.

DR.. LUKE P. BLACKBURN's plot to intro
duce yellow fever and smallpox into the
Northern cities during the rebellion may
have been a good recommendation for
him to the Democracy of Kentucky as a
candidate for Governor of that State, but
the people of the North don't look at it
in that light. The Cincinnati Gazette has
accumulated an abundance of evidence
of the existence of the plot, with DIR.
Blackburn as its author, and placed it be-
fore the country and called upon the
Governor to deny the authorship of the
barbarous plan of injecting the North
with pestilence, to destroy women and
children, but Governor Blackburn does
not answer. His continued silence is
generally construed as an admission of
guilt, and many of the prominent jour
nails of his State are calling upon him to
come out and prove his innocence if he
can, and if not, to step down and out.
The election to the high office of Gov
ernor of man who could be guilty of
crime so heinous and inhuman as that
attempted by DIR. Luke P. Blackburn is
black and lasting stain upon the honor
of the State of Kentucky.

THE popular method nowadays for
man to bring himself before the public
as a candidate for a high Office is to write
letter declining to be candidate. jeff.
Davis has written letter declaring that
he is not candidate for United States
Senator from Mississippi. His letter only
strengthens the conviction that he will
be the next Senator.

WHEN Andrew johnson was President,
gr. enbacks were worth fifty cents on the
dollar. Had he taken his years salary
to the Treasury he could have exchanged
them for $l2, 800 in gold, and no more
Register.
But to-day, as the result of Republican
financiering, the greenback is at par with
gold, and if Il President of the United
States, Il laboring man, or any body else,
has greenbacks he wishes to exchange
for gold he can get dollar for dollar for
them. The Republican party propose to
continue this state of affairs in finances,
put General Ewing wants to return to
the financial condition of the time when
Andrew johnson was President and the
greenDack was worth but fifty cents on
the dollar in gold.

THE law of Congress authorizing the
appointment of supervisors of elections
applies only to cities having population
of 10000 and over, and when any of
these smart Democratic Alecks who are
now stumping the county in the inter-
est of Ewing & Co. tell you the law APP
plies to all elections in towns like Wash
ingtOn and counties like Fayette, they
are simply telling what every intelli gent
man knows to be false. Furthermore,
the law applies only to the election of
candidates for Presidentand for Congress.

THE attendance at the Foster meetings,
wherever he has been announced to
speak, has been unprecedentedly large
and enthusiastic, and may be regarded as
evidence of the fact that the people are
tired of the brief Democratic rule In
Congress and in our State Legislature,
and are determined to make much
needed change. The disposition to do
this implies a solid Republican vote for
Republican candidates; and this kind OF
vote is necessary in order to secure
success.
