The Pascagoula democrat-star. (Pascagoula, Miss.) 1878-1920, 1880-06-11
An Address.

70 tho Democracy of Hancock couaty:
Having been called to the posi-.
ton of chairman of your county
executive committee, l take this
method of calling the attention OF
the democracy Of the county to
some pertinent facts:
In the first place, Hancock is
purely a democratic county, aud
there is no reason that it should be
the victim OF Independent Office.
seekers.
In the second place, the reason
that independent candidates have
been SO successful in the past is
owing simply aud sorely to the fact
that the democracy is unorganized.
Ia the third place, this state Of
disorganization is not ewing to dis
affection, but to Indifference, or, in
ether words, II want of proper at.
tention to the vital interests Of our
county.
1t is certainly important at this
particular time to effect u thorough
organization of the party. Rad:-
calism cannot conceal its cloven
foot any longer, aud democrats
need not be ignorant Of the dan.
gers that threaten them and their
country. 1t is only too apparent
that this iron heeled monster would
usurp authority and crush from our
institutions those principles that
cannot be too highly priced by
every true American citizen. We
only have to let our people know
that the principles for which our
fathers fought are in danger OF be-
ing superseded by Grantism or its
equivalent, to arouse every true
sou of old Hancock to action, un.
furl the old party banner, and
every heart will warm aud our
ranks will be filed with true, loyal
voters. 1t will tnke time to accom-
plish this good end, but will it not
he time we'll spenti Time, spent
| III the interest of home, altar and
country, will bear present fruit,
and its beHefcent effect will go
down to turture ages. IN this
{" land of the free and home of the
brave,n no free, brave soon will re-
fuse tlleslittle time required to ac-
complish this desirable object.
Then, let the clarion notes of our
democracy be heard in the land
let every democrat grid himself for
the coming struggle, and let every
precinct and community organize.
| w hatevcr result may be attained
at the Cincinnati convention, let us
endorse and support the nominee,
and let itbc knewn throughout our
ranks that Hancock county stands
second to none in her love for, aud
loyalty to the principles OF dcmoc-
racy. L. NJ. FAVhE,
chairman Go. Elk. Com.
