For the past twenty years the Republi-
can party has been in power and up to
this date not one single act of Legislation
has been made looking to the interest of
the farmer, the mechanic or the man who
works. We find the rich man growing
richer and the poor man poorer every day
At the last session OF Congress the iepub
licsn party removed the tax on Cologne all
kinds of pcrfumery and cigarettes. The tax
on these articles was removed to crafty
the wives and daughters and sons of rich
men, for the farmer. the mechanic and the
laboring man do not use them. The tax
on sugar molasses and Tobacco, which arti-
cles are used by every farmer and work
ingman were allowed to remain. To day
we find hundreds of milionaires in every
great CITY made so through republican leg
islalion. Millions of money is each year
squandcrcd and the farmers and working
men are taxed to make IL up. AS citizens
therefore irrespective OF party we should
protect Hon. Montgomery Blair, the
Democratic nominee who is know all over
the land. He is an able statesmen and
would reflect credit upon all the people o.
this district. Those ofuur loyal citizens
who have war claims yet unsettled would
have an experienced representative to look
after their intercs; If Mr. Blair was elected
The reNl Congress will surely be DEM
ocralic rs that party has elected fifteen
members of Congress- in Ohio at the late
election. PENNSYLVANIA and New York
will make large Democratic gains as well
as Indiana and New Hampshire Mr.. Mo
Comns can accomplish nothing in y DEM
ormuc Congress and besides has rot the
experience, is not known sufficiently well
to he of amy use to our people. Let us
therefore not rs Republicans or Dem )crats
bu, as citizens and tax payers vote tor Hon
Montgomery Blair for Congress.
An of our people know Hon john a
lynch who has been our Judge for the last
nhccn years lie has been fair and impair
,ia,; lie las never allowed political consla
era,ions f. Influence him in any way, he |
an able lawyer, he has made us n wise
Judge he il a man of experience and ripe
in years and is trusted by Republicans and
Democrats alike all over the country.
Mr.. Molter is too young and incxperl
cnced man for the digniiea position o
Judge. He has made good States A,tor
uey and might have made q good Con
gresham, but the people cannot vote foI
him for such n position as Judge. Every
properly holder should vote for Judge
Lynch for It is the most importan, office IN
the giit "f the people.

Montgomery comfy on the feruOIica'
ticket has net bee prac'icing law FOL

II Washington, and is not au.iliar with
