Some of our Democrats were present at
the spea king in your town on Monday, in
the courthouse. We believe the truths
presented by the speakers, Capt. Lurty,
Col. Parsons and Senator Riddleberger
sank deep into their hearts and doubtless
the Democracy of Maurertown, will have
to wear Grape over the loss of a few more
Democratic votes. They say they can't
think of having man at the head OF
the nation, who would close the school
house doors, and the laboring class to
recover only 10 1-2 to 25c per day for
their work. We think next court, will
roll few more votes for Blaine and Logan.
