niss MEETING NIX! SATURDAY.
WORD or WARNING.
Congressman from Tenth Dis
triCt.

The Democratic voters of.the County
of Iron are called by the County Com
mIttee to meet at this place on the 14th
of this month to decide, among other
matters, which candidate of those an
nounced, said Democracy desires as its
Representative In the next American
Congress.
Some might think this enough to
announce tc bring out the whole Of the
Democracy on that occasion, and 1t
may be enough. But when we re-
member the issue. of the day, the
wrongs to be righted, the ideas to be
carried out to fruition, the reforms in adj
ministration, ct. al, to be accomplished,
something more may not be out of
place.
We must instruct for Tilden and
Hendricks, for Civil Service Reform,
against jobbery and corruption, against
fraud and theft, against every thing
to which the Republican party has
been pledged by Its conduct during the
past ten years.
We must, in addition to instructing
for some man as President whe is op-
posed To these things which the Re
puIIicans advocate, also instruct for
suc.' u r preventative tn Congress from
this District who is in sympathy with
the true Democracy in these things, and
who by his name will add strength
to the Democratic Ticket.
Who is that man for this District and
for this county?
That question is answered by an
swering another: 4. e., who has been
elected from this District for the last
three terms? Martin L. Clardy, Of St.
Francois county.
Some may say she has been elected
often enough; he ought, and we ought
to give some ons else chance" In
reply, we may answer, "we ought to
keep our present Representative in
office till, at least we find better"
Have we, or can we find, better:
We think not in Jno. III. Morse, who
is his only opponent.
Mart. Claray is a Democrat; he has
reflected honor on himself and on his
constituents since he has been,,our Rep
resentative. He is safe on the tariff
sound on immigration, good upon eul
foreign relations, and not less sound
than any upon Commerce, upon which
Committee he has been for years.
Clardy is the embodiment of the De
! mocracy of this District.
Ever man who is for him should be
| here on the 14th; and if the true DerA'
ocrats stay at home on that day and
| allow this county to he carried for such
man as John II. Morse, they will re-
greet their Indifference when too late.
Morse, knowing that the people Of this
county are for Clardy, and knowing
that all of the Democrats 80 think, ex
poets that they will not turn out and
| voice their sentiments; and, relying
| upon that unanimity, expects them Il
! stay at home, under the belief tha
there is no contest.
But we beg leave to say to Demo
| Gratis that Morse is a sharp politica
lmanipulator, and will attempt to pack
the convention next Saturday, will
| the aid of a few interested henchmen.
To prevent such a mischance we cal
on all true Democaats to lay aside al
personal business on that day, no mat
ter at what loss, and come to Ironton
If their voices are for John III. Morse
SO be it; but we don't want Iron coun
ty carried for any man through secre
caucus and dirty, underhand work.
| This is no false alarm; and next Sat
urday will prove we know whereof we
have been speaking.
| The secret caucuses have been held.
