SWELL" you say, " if the solid South were
TO grind US down in that way, and stamp on us
when we were down, I suppose we would have
to resort to force"
Let me ask you how "resort to force"
would be met? With the Presidency, the Con-
gress, the judiciary, oil the offices. the army

"Well," you say again, "the Northern States
could at least secede."
There, at last, my Democratic friend, you have
struck the "soid Southern nail on the head
That is just where the ''sold South" wants to
get you. That is the ultimate "great object y
for which the 'sold Southern" leaders are
striving. At all costs they propose to get in
power. At all costs they propose to keep in
power. At all costs they propose, when in power,
to madden the North as well as itnpoyet'ish and
weaken it. At all costs they propose to
force the Northern States to secede, and when
the "soid South, after working all the ruin
they contemplate, have driven the North into

This is the terrible revenge which the Hsolid

restore, but to Vindicate for all time the g Lost
Cause
Read again, my well-meaning Northern Dem
ocratic friend, tho recent declarations of Jeffer-
son Davis, of Wade Hampton of other "solid

in this, to you, new light and, if you are not

of that solid South" which, in population.
wealth, industry, productiveness, commercial
and agricultural capacity forms SO small frac-

vote is so small in proportion to the total pop
ular vote, even within the Democratic party,

II is because of these infamous purposes ;

accomplish their 'great. object" that at this
Congress and will not hesitate to count Gar
field out and Hancock in if the electoral ma
jority for the former be SMALL it is necessary to
elect Garfield by SO large majority that it will
palsy the arm and the tongue and the will of
the consolidated conspiracy known as the
SOLID South"
Forty-seyen electoral votes from the North
will insure the success of that devilish conspir-
acy! Is the North so blind as to give single
one? Was the war for freedom and union

the North stinted not her blood, her treasure,
the lives Of her best and bravest sons Was it
all for naught? Is she to gain by long and
bloody and desolating war; only to lose BY the
arts of treacherous denlagogues?
The Union SOLDIER Hancock, is but the mask
which hides the trail of the rebel serpent.
"The hand is the hand Of Esau but the voice
is the voice of Jacob" Hancock chants the
sweet emusic of the Union" but through it
all, louder and shriller is heard the old rebel

Thesissue to be decided now is not what

of them, but whether you are to have coun-
Try?

be settled hereafter, The peril is Imminent
You can trust that party which crushed Sc
cession, which restored the Union which Sc
cured freedom, which has done all that has
been done for the smiling prosperity which
now makes this nation the envy of the world.
But dare you trust all that has been gained

"solid South" the rule and ruin clement the
old rebels, the party which demands owned
labor, crushed manufactures, national disinte-

The nation awaits your answer at the polls
