ST. CLEMENTS BAY, July IL, 1888.
Messrs. Editors 1T will soon be time for
the Fall campaign to open in earnest, and il
behOOves every good democrat to be up aud
doing. Every one should, Herculese like,
put his own shoulder to the democratic wheel
and do what little he can for the success of
his party. Democrats should not be democrat
lied by the overwhelming defeats Of the last
two campaigns. They should still keep a
stiff uppeF-lIp, and look out for the main
chance, and be ready TO receive aud take aG-
vantage of any change or dissatisfaction that
may occur in the other party.
The Republican party is getting too large in
this county to much longer carry its own
weight. We every day hear murmurs and
hints Of dissatisfaction. Hundreds of men
have left the Democratic and Joined the Re-
publican party not that they had become con-
WINGED that the Republican party was right,
but TO get the little Offices that the party in
power had 10 distribute. But that thing will
soon play out. Every man can Z have an Office.
and as soon as they find out that the Republican
party won't support them, they will become
disguised aud soon return TO their first love.
The democrats should organize this Fall and
be ready to receive the disaHected from the
Republican ranks. The change must come
and why not this Fall as well as later? II the
party organization is kept intact, il will
always be ready to resceive and be benefited
by the change.
see by your last that some one has made
the inquiry; whether the men who went
into convention with honest democrats, and
then come out and BETRAYED the nominees ut
the polls, viii be allowed to vote al the con-
ing primaries of the pas.y?" This is not the
time FOR democrats 10 be asking such unprofi-
table questions and 70 be splitting their little
spite. and trying 10 drive, perhaps. better
democrats from the party. They say that the
just man fell seven times in one DAY and was
jCstihed at last; then how much better it
would sound for good and honest democrats
at this time to invite all their weak and erring
brothers to come back to the right fold and
be, what they used to be, good and reliable
democrats There is room aud welcome for
them AL, and the Democratic party will be
thankful for their assistance aud cooperation.
