The following paper was handed ont
of our merchants while he was in New
York City recently by q lady employed

lish as specimen of the Radical cam
paien documents with which the whole
country, and especially the North, j
flooded every election year:
WHY I WILL NOT VOTE THE DEMO
CRATIC TICKET
I am opposed to the DSmocratic party
and I will tell you why. Every State
that seeded from the United States was
a Democratic State. Every ordinance Of
secession that was drawn was drawn by 9
Democrat. Every man that endeavored
to tear the old flag from the heaven that
it enriches was a Democrat. Every
enemy this great Republic has had fol
twenty. years has been Democrat
Every man that shot Union soldiers was
a Democrat. Every man that starved
Union soldiers and refused them in the
extremity of death crust was a Demo
crat. Every man that tried to destroy
this nation was a Democrat. Every man
that loved slavery better than liberty was
a Democrat. The man that assassinated
Abraham. Lincoln was a Democrat.
Every man that sympathized with the
assasin-eyery man glad chat the noblest
President ever elected was assassinated-
was Democrat. Every man that i'm
paired the credit of the United States
every. man that. swofe ne would never
pay the bonds; every man that swore we
would never redeem the greenbacks
was Democrat. Every man that resist
ed the draft was a Democrat. Every
man that W. over the corpse of slavery
was a DeLSerat. Every man that cursed
Lincoln because he issued the Proclama-
tion of Emancipation-the grandest
paper since the Declaration of Indepens
dence-every one of them was Demo
crat. Every man that wanted an up.
rising in the North, that wanted to re-
lease the rebel prisoners, that they might
burn down the homes of Union soldiers
above the heads of their wives and chill:
dren; while the brave husbands, the he;
roic fathers, were in the front lighting for
the honor of the old flag, every oneiof
them was Democrat. Every man that
believed this glorious nation of ours is
only confederacy, every man that be-
lieyed the old banner. carried BY oar
fathers through the Revolution, through
the war of 1912, carried by our brothers
over the fields of the Rebellion, simply
stood for contract, simply stood for AN
agreement was a Democrat. Every man
who believed that any, State could go out
of the Union at its pleasure; every man
that believed the grand fabric of. .tne
American Government could be made to
crumble instantly into dust at the touch
of treason was Democrat.
cSoldiersl Every scar you have got on
your heroic bodies was given you by a
Democrat. Every scar, every arm that
is lacking, every limb that is gone, every
scar is souvenir of Democrat.
