An Issue for a Solid North.


Every Northern man who votes the Demo
cratic ticket next year shows himself to be
in sympathy with the rebels OF the South.
The coming campaign will not be fought on
mere questions of government policy, but on
the burning issue as to whether the honest,
loyal and freedom-loving people, the soldiers
and their friends, or the lazy aristocrats,
who eat their bread in the sweat of better
and murder, shall control the destinies of
this nation. On that issue the North will be
solid.
