A Last Word.


Next Tuesday there will take place
in this State one Of the most import.
ant elections ever held within its
borders. There are three full State
tickets in the field, as follows: Dem.
ocratic, National Greenback. Labor,
and Republican.
1t is well that the voter should
calmly survey the field, ere he casts
his vote either for veal or for woe.
The Democratic party has been in
control Of the affairs Of this State
since 1870. Under its wise admins.
tration the State has progressed be.
You'd that of any her neighbors, not,

We have doubled our population in
ten years Of Democratic rule. 0ul
taxes have been reduced; our schools

sprung up all over our State, and

With this showing, are you pre-.

grand old party shall be dethroned,
and a new party installed in place

to- attend the large and enthusiastic
meeting at Mason City, on last Sat,
+urday evening. about7 O'clock,
the Mason City Gornet Band began
their march through some. Of the
principal streets, discoursing most
excellent music. In half an hour
the immense crowd had gathered on
Front Street, where aspeaker's stand
and seating capacity for several hun.
bred people had been prepared. AT
ter the Band furnished a song, Hon
John o. Kenna was introduced to the
crowd, who rose, stepped forward,
and in his calm mood, discussed the
political issues of the daywith a de.
gree of eloquence and magnetic force
which can not be displayed by many
public speakers. He said in the out
set that he had no abuse for any can.
didate or party. He pointed out the
defects in the legislation Of the Re.
publican party since the war, by
reference to the Congressionalrecord
and noted the achievements of the
Democracy since they have had q
majority in Congress. The tariff
question received due consideration,
The Greenback party as an organi.
cation was shown by its past record
to be worse than hopeless. There
has not been single Greenbacker
elected to Congress by hisown party.
In every instance it has been the re.
suit Of the fusion movement. Blu,
the Republicans and Greenbackers
of this District will not "fusen suffi.
GENTLY to defeat Mr.. Kenna. He has
proven himself to be an able and d
faithful representative of his constit
uency; and justly deserves the conf
dence and support Of every Democrat
in the District.
Mr.. Kenna was only eight years
old when1his father died. He was a
poor boy. He secured means to edu.
cate himself by hard work and econ.
omy. So he knows how to sympa'
thize with the laboring classes, and
certainly deserves their support
We hope to see him elected this fall
by at least 10000 majority.

The attempt of the Tribune.Monitor,
to convey the impression that Mr.,
Hanly has withdrawn from the race,
is the meanest kind Of trickery to
make votes for Redmond, and cripple
Mr.. Hanly. Mr.. Hanly is on the
ticket for Sheriff, and will be there
on the day'of election, and by the
grace of~God, the Democratic voters,
and the honest people Of Mason
county, will be elected Sheriff Of this
county on next Tuesday.

From, KanawI,a.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, Oct. LIST, 1880.
Let the people vote for; John W.
English for Judge. He is sound,
good lawyer, incorruptible and un-
prejudiced by any partisan feeling.
A sober, upright gentleman Of pure
and untarnished character. This is
no party Office and Mr.. English is no
party nominee. From all informa-
ton he will receive almost a solid
Republican and Democratic vote,
while hundreds Of Greenbackers will
vote for him, From present indica,
tions he will sweep the Districts new
and old by a majority reaching into
the thousands. X.
Every mill in this city was built
when the Democratic party and a
Democratic policy where in the as

through along period of Republican
supremacy, In the light of the past,
it is very strange argument which
attempts to show that Democratic
success will damage our industries.
