1nc dlSgraceful acts and scenes
of the late Republican conventions,
held in the Third Congressional
District. by the kellogg and Beat
tie factions, should cause every
man who loves his country to vote
for Hon. j. II. Acklen. We hope
no Democrat will allow himself to
be misled by any of those "sore
heads who have deserted the De
mocratlc party of late. We have
no confidence in Il man who chang
es his politics because lie can no
longer lead. Let all honest men,
black and white, show themselves
to be men, in November next, by
going to the polls AMI casting their
vote Tor II nan who will honestly
represent us in the next Congress-
that man is the Hon. Joseph H.
Acklen. u first and last choice.

as our standard bearer, by the hon
est representative men of our dis
