Democratic Nominee.
For Which Party ?

people. That issue is now dead. 1t
cannot be affected by the votes OF the
people.- Some Of the Mahoneites still
try to arouse the people by the silly CRY
of '.funder,sm, but 1t fails to arouse
enthusiasm. 1t Is an old story that
does not bear repetition and is as
threadbare as the bloody shirt that has
been doing service 10 the North ever
aimee the war. The cOalitiOnists arc
to-day party without principles. They
are in alliance with the Stalwart re-
publcans but have not the moral cour'
age 10 tell the people that they are re-
publicans. To make sure OF Arthur s
assistance they call themselves an
administration party, and announce
themselves "tor Arthur because Ar
thur is for U.s."
Since the reputation Of Arthur In
in Ohio, and the certain reputation OF
him and hi, party in New York and
Pennsylvania. we bear less about Ar
thur and Arthur's assistance.
This coalition faction now profess to
be in favor of the repeal of the internal
revenue laws. Is their profession sup
ported by their acts The party with
which they are in alliance had the Presi'
dent, they had The Senate, they had the
House, and yet they did not repeal this
odious system of taxation, and now
they want the people 10 believe that
they are going TO do, what the demo-
Gratis would have done, if they had
the power.
They arc committed 10 high tariff
and yet they are very slow about dis
cussing this issue before The people.
They profess to believe that high
tariG is TO tie interest Of the farmer
Can any intelligent farmer believe that
TO tax everything which he consumes,
and 10 require his products TO be thrown
upon the public without protection is an
advantage to him? HIS grain must seek
market in iEngland. English farmers
complain that they cannot compete
with American farmers and there Is
some talk among them of protection
against American grain. Should Eng
land persue the policy pursued by the
high tariff party in The United States,
what would become Of our farmers I?
As soon as they place o tariff upon
American grain, the American farmer
must sell his grain at The reduced price
or keep it at home.
The faimer who is taxed 10 keep up
the monopolies must agree TO sell his
products at a reduced price. The
Democratic party is in favor Of limiting
taxation 10 the needs of the govern
ment.
They are opposed to continuing hish
taxes while there is surplus Of over
one hundred million in the National
Treasury.
The Mahoneites wished 10 ally them
selves with The party Of the North.
The North are endorsing the Demo.
cratic party and they would lave you
ally yourselves with the party in favor
of high taxes upon the people and the
protection Of monoplists against the
masses. These arc iseucs that effect
the home aud the families of our peo-
pie.
The cry that they must bc in accord
with the party IN power. comes with
bad grace from this little faction that
professed 10 be democrats when Han
cock was candidate and administra-
zion men when Arthur is in power.
Now when the people Ofthe North,
dis gusted with The ex.raysgance, the op-
pressive taxes. the corruption and the
bossism Of the Republican party are
seeking to protect themselves by vot-
ing the Den ocratic ticket. this party in
Virginia. obedent to sell-constluted
boss, asks you 10 support the man and
the measures that Intelligent republic
cans Of the North nov repudiate. They
ask you TO vote with the party that ls
seeking TO enslave the white people of
Virginia by means of negro votes pur-
chased at so much per head Malone.
not satisfied with the amounts wrung
from the employees Of the government,
is seeking from Northern Capitalists
the sum Of twenty-five thousand dol
lars. IN order TO enslave the white peo-
pie Of Virginia. Where Malone to-day
at the head of on army of 50. 900 negroes
marching 10 subjugate the whites of this
State, their liberties would be in no
greater danger than than they now are
with Malone Threatening TO connol the
legislation OF Virginia by means of
negro votes purchased with money
furnished by corrupt administration.
The tyrant considers himself so firmly
placed In power that be no longer con-
ceals his infamous Oulrages upon The
liberties of The people. When under
American government could one man,
with dictatorial power, order faithful
officer Of the government, to be dis
charged because he refused TO bow the
knee TO political faclienS This tilne
has been done repeatedly by Malone
and men Who profess to be freemen,
with affect seryiii,y applaud the tyrant. |
Bot this party has been shofn of its !
