For Assembly.

! hereby announce myself as candi-
date for the nomination and election OF
a Democratic Representative for the next
Legislature. Whether elected or defeat
cd, shall continue to labor for the COM
plete overthrow of all monopolies and
the various means and agencies which
are continually employed to oppress the
poor, firmly believing that neither Ma
ture nor God ever designed that the poor
should be, as they now are, virtually, the
slaves of the Plutocracy-better known
as the MONEY POWER. Good wages
for fair days work, to be promptly paid
in cash, should be the law, and no Com
pany Stores, nor any other methods,
should be allowed to exist, to over-reach
the laborer.
Strongly believing that these are, a
mong others, really the great and vital
things that are of practical Importance
to the masses of the people, and that they
must be radically corrected, sooner or
later. pledge myself, under all circum-
stances, to advocate them with an I'M
yielding conviction, that it is for justice,
right and the good of humanity. And l
shall do it with energy and force.

anonymous head as there is in their dis
tributing the Telegraph. We venture to say
this, that they may yet be subject to their
