VINO are the choice of the whole body OF
lne people. IL Is now too late TO discuss
pa'iormS, issues, or records; YOU are
familiar with them. II YOU are an adnirer

in the field. There are others, il is true. who
have made such preten>ionS, but the mask
has been torn from thor faces, the ambusl,
has been discovered and disclosed. Ii
theTe be now a single Democrat who goes
inside the enemy'> line, it is wilful dcscr-
ton. not strategic capture. There are Re-
pubicans even, and those the best men Of
that party. who. contrary TO outside pres
sure, will sooner forSake Malone than for
sake the principles OF their political faith
and the peace of their own conscience.
You who are most interested in the
growth OF this city and lis future prosper
ilv are the ones most interested in the elec-
tion OF George Wise and Massey. They
are both Of them alive to our hopes and
our prospects. They are progressive men,
and favor by every means in their power
our material development, the encourage
mcnt Of our manufactures, the manipula-
ton OF our raw material here at home. the
abolition or reduction Ci the tax on Whis-
kew and tobacco, the Gradual improvement
of our whole revenue system, the invita-
ton to outside capital. and the encourage
mcnt Of home labor and infant industries.
We hear it asserted by ignorant people that
eur present uneXampled prosperity is due
to MahonHsm. II Is unnecessary to refute
the statement. Who compose the great
body Of MahOnc's SuppOrt-lts rank ana ils
file?
II is as idle 70 say that these men and
this party control any capital. or promote
in any way our prosperity, aS to say that
they control the seasons and are response
bic for our abundant harvcstS. LOOK
around YOU. gentlemen. and mark upon
which side Of thi, contest is the wealth, the
intelligence, and the probity of your COM
munity. and array Yourself on that SIDE.
look around YOU and see where stand the
men most successful in business affairs,
most sauguinc Of our future; look Ior the
men who employ, promote, and encourage
the labor Of this city; for the mechanics
artisans. and skilled labor OF all KINDS.
Look how they vote, and vote with them.
