II. w. RANDALL,
TO YOUNG MEN.
Why They Should Work and Vote for
Blaine and Logan.
l'ubliSher.

Thousands of young men will cas-
their first vote next November, and are
naturally consulting the records of the
two parties to ascertain with which
they shah identify themselves. The
Renaissance of the two parties will
furnish them with the information
they desire and point the way they
should vote.
The Democratic party precipitated
civil war upon the country in the in
terests of the shareholders. 1t attempt.
ed to paralyze our army and navy. II
strove to overthrow the Government
and dissolve the Union. While oul
soldiers We're fighting to preserve the
Union the Democratic party, in its Ma.
tional Convention at Chicago in 1864
resolved that "the War for the Union
was a failure" 1t sought to break
down the credit of the country and to
give it an irredeemable wildcat curren-
cy. 1t upheld slavery. 1t formed trea-
SOnable organizations in the North to
assist Southern Rebels. 1t called Un-
ion soldiers ABE Lincoln's minions and
cut-throats," and one of its most prom
inent members. now it's candidate for
Vice-President, called Lincoln a
"smutty tyrant." 1t defended repudi-
alton in the Southern States. 1t has
encouraged and upheld ballot-boX stuff
ing and the shotgun policy in The
Southern States. It has disfranchised
colored Republicans in those States
and it relies upon this disfranchise-
ment to elect Cleveland and Hendricks.
1t had brought the country to the verge
of bankruptcy and had paralyzed its
business interests when the Republican
party came into power tWenty-fOur
years ago. 1t long ago proclaimed as
its motto, "TO the victOrs belong the
spoils," and this sentiment was more
than once affirmed in it's recent COnven-
ton.
The Republican party put down the
Democratic Rebellion and saved the
Union. 1t emancipated four millions
Of American slaves and made them
citizens. 1t has paid off the huge war
debt at rate which has made this
country the marvel among nations. 1t
has reduced the cost of collecting rev.
enue, the cost of taxation, the burden
of interest, and the losses by embezzle-
ment far below what they have ever
been before. 1t has raised the credit
of the country to the highest place
among nations, and during its period
OF power the wealth of the Nation has
increased three-fold. 1t has given the
country an honest. stable, National
currency, in place of the dishonest, un-
stable State wildcat issues: 1t has
penSiOned the MANNED and injured SOL
diers and sailors who fought for the
Union, and gives thousands of veter-
ans the preference in office. 1t has es-
tablished national sovereignty, and fos-
tered patriotic sentiments, and wiped
out the pestilent heresy that the citi-
Zen's first allegiance was due to
State Administrations rather than to
the National Government. It has al
ways stood by the wOrkingmen, and re-
fused to allow servile labor to compete
with them. 1t has given them the 16O-
acre homestead on the National do
main. The period of time during which
it has been in power has been charac-
terized by the highest material, COM
@ercial, and social advancement the
country has ever known.
AS to the respective candidates the
Democrats have nominated for Presi-
dent Grover Cleveland, who has never
had any experience in National affairs.
and whose brief Administration as
Governor of New York has shown him
to be an enemy of the workingman,
friend of monOpolies. and the tool of
a political machine; and for Vice
President a dislOyal man and a polite
al demagogue. The Republicans have
for President the ablest liy-
ing statesman of the country, whom
President Garfield selected as the head
of his Cabinet, and whose brilliant car
eer has been known to the country for
nearly quarter of a century; and for
Vice-President John A. Logan, a pa
triOtic statesman and a Union soldier,
who performed inestimable services for
the preservation of the American
Union. AS between the two parties,
no young man who loves his country
and desires to promote it's progress,
greatness, and welfare should hesitate
to cast in his political lot with the
grand Republican party.-Chicago Ifib-
