voters for their integrity aud oil fitted for
the positions to which they aspire.
Before democrats listen to the multipli-

theft Of the presidency

means to keep itself in power.

people to ITS public servants for the dis
charge of public duties, and, with it, seeks
to bribe and corrupt the people.

centralized dcspotism.
1t seeks for wicked and selfish purposes
TO influence the passions OF the people at
the north against the people of the south
upon questions long since extinct.

ccived the people by the false promises and
professions.
A party guilty OF such crimes and enor-
mites 70 longer deserves the support Of the
people
When republicans come to you and ask
you TO endorse such party by voting for
any of their candidates, you should refuse
to listen to their appeals. You have candi-

the county by his past service to be honest,
obliging, courteous, faithful and thoroughly
qualified for the Office. In the discharge OF
his official duties, everybody knows that

Mr.. Angus Leek, the independent CEN

Mr.. Thos. w. Halliday, the Independent
