Gratis and 81 Republicans voting no.
In 1870 the bill funding the entire bonded
DEBT in coin was passed by u vote of ls9 Re
| publicans voting YES; 81 Democrats and Re-
publicans voting no,
In June 1870 Mr.. Randall, Democrat from
| pennsylvania. introduced bill to issue $780,
| 600 900 o! greenbacks and retire like amount
Of National Bank notes. This was defeated
| by the Republicans In the Senate.
| In the same year Mr.. Morgan, Of Ohio, intro
duced bill to issue Si)O.O00,o00 legal tender
greenhacks. This was defeated by the Repub

In 1919 the infamous resumption act was
passed by this vote, AYES, lbs Republicans;
| NOES, every Democrat in Congress.
In 1876, the Democrats for the first time hay
ing majority in the House, repealed the re-
sumption act, but the Republican Senate did
| not concur,
Now with this record who can say
that the Democratic party does not
hold out proper financial relief to the
country? Let us be satisfied with
well doing! Hold to your party and,
in the name of common reason
GIVE 1T A FAIR CHANCE
Never before the late extra session
has our party had majority in both
houses of Congress. Shall we split
off from it now, fly the track Just as
it comes laundering down the home
stretch with an easy lead? Shall we
say that the track is too heavy 10 run
the race out, when we gracefully lead,
bearing the flying colors of success.
AS the Israelites of old, we stand OIL
the banks Of the uncrossed stream
and behold near by the land of prom
Use beyond, where this fitful fever will
subside and where every earthly COM
fort stands ont in bold relief. Let us
combine our intellect, our genius and
our muscle, strengthen our party and
pass on its broad principles to full
realization of safety. One thing is
true, it can not be denied, that the
Democratic party is the only party
that can help the South. When
DEMOCRAT VOTES FOR A GREENBAcKER
he but cuts his own throat, in that it
advances the interests of the Repub-
lican party. Let Democrats remem-
Der this. You have on the one hand
Democracy and liberty, on the other
Republicanism and semi.slayery.
One of these two parties must be sue
cessful. Will you vote the Green
back ticket and thus play into the
hands of the Republicans? Now that
is narrowed down plainly. If you
do you are no more than traitor to
your party. You are unfit to be
called a man of strict integrity and
the community and country should
so regard you.
This thing of
SCRATCHING
is positively ruinous to the interests
of our party. 1t has already kept us
in this county at the very bottom of
the ladder and will ever keep us there
unless those who are guilty of it are
reasoned out of their folly. In the
name of common sense, in the name
of manliness, in the name of decency
do cease such contemplate policy.
No one respects you forit. You will
lose friends in the long run and that
man who has not independence and
courage enough to throw aside such
petty policy, who votes for any Rad
ical because he happens to be his
friend is nothing more or less than
sickly hearted bundle of trash, and
nine times out of ten is lacking in
some of those elements which go to
make up courageous citizen, a pub
lie spirited man and a respected gen.
tleman. Why, vote your sentiments.
1t is but o poor friend indeed who
would have you sacrifice. your prin-
ciples to tlatter and crafty his lusts
for office. Be men, true, bold, reso-
lutte. Let us snatch our county from
the jaws of death. Indeed We should
be solid, to q man.
WE SHOULD DE HOPEFUL
for these reasons:
DR.. Fuqua will not be voted for by
Democrats, because he has publicly
proclaimed from the stump that his
object is to blot out the Democratic
party. If there was ever one thing in
his life that he regretted that was his
vote cast for Tilden and Hendricks.
He regrets his connection with the
Democratic party and wants his DEM
ocratic record erased from the men,
DRY of man. For these reasons he
can OF hope to receive a Democratic
support, but it is true that he will
poll four hundred white Republican
votes in the northern portion of the
county. Now, if the Democrats will
turn out solidly and vote for Mr..
Henry why can they not elect him?
They have naught to fear from DIR.
FuQua. Mr.. Feland's vote being
cut short four hundred Mr.. Henry
can be elected easily, since the Re-
publican majority in The race betw cen
Mr.. Feland and Mr.. Mckenzie in
1875 was only SO, in 1877, between
Mr.. Feland and Mr.. Dulin the ma
jority was only 164. Let us not de-
spair, but rather hope and work, and
work and hope.
1t will be a crying shame to throw
away Democratic votes on Fuqua,
