EWISaS, Yet Sft1l, tSSD
TO the Republican Purity On Tuesday
next the welfare Of our county hinges for
two years ON your action. You have be-
fore you two tickets. You know the men and
you know what has been the result hereto
fore. There is no question Of National in
terest at stake--in fact, there is really no Is
sue between the two parties, and il there
fore becomes you az citizens TO look the POI
sition sqnarely in the face and make up
your minds 10 act thereon. That the fearful
ly high rate Of taxation effects the aborer
no one can doubt; that ii is an ineubusupon
our people, paralyzing labor, all must know.
How to remedy it is The question. Thera
is but one way, and that is to drop politics,
leave party out and take the best men from
the ten candidates for county commission
ers and make your ticket. Don't allow
yourself 70 vote for man simply because
a sCecalled party convention should have
said he was the man Are you freemen or
are you bond slaves with badge of servi-
tude cemented on your necksY If free
iIltIlt hSb US euCil. ~ VIII DC 100 ltlIe when
your taxes are doubled again as they have
been doubled In thepast Is years. Vote for
such men as you believe win best serve Your
interest Don't be intiinidated or driven into
action against your will by any one or BY
any party, but as freeinen make your own
selection and vote your own viii and SEN
timents Don't allow yourselves to he gag
ged and bound, but act from and upon
your own judgment. You know all the
candidates before yon--then select such as
You think will do You justice. As long as
our taxes are SO fearful, capitalists win not
seek St Mary for investment Wewill grad
nally drop behind until we are out Of the
race Of progress, and our county become
mere fossil. Then be up and doing; let
every man act and yoteas ifupon him alone
depended the couniys welfare. Don'ttrust
10 the Judgment OF another, but act on your
oaoa. Make your own ticket and vote It,
Don't be intimidated, but pick the best men
from top to bottom and vote for them and
in the near future you will receive your own
reward in eincreased prosperity ofthe pep
pie. Remember that upon each and every
one depends bis own future welfare. Next
Tuesday IL the critical period.
respectfully, SUTTON.

present. mostly colored people, and was
surprised to find that they were all for Ra-

abouttwo-thirds ofwhom were cclored, and
they were all for Raley, or the old Grey
Fox, as the colored people call him. The
meeting was cailed to order early in the
evening, chairman and secretary appoint.

sons, was introduced, he gave a very lucid
explanation Of the Democratic platform and
advised the colored people to vote for their
friends, the democrats VIM Stewart, col
ored, next took the stand He told the col
ored people that the time had come when
they should show their manhood and vote
thar sentiments and not allow the lead
ers Of the republican party to drive them
up 10 the polls, like sheep to be slaugh-
tar,d, and then force them TO vote the
republican ticket, as they had been do
ing since emancipation. The next speaker
was Chap. Gorden, colored, who also adj
vised them to vote for Riley and any other
democrat they wished. The fourth and last
speaker was John l.. Thomas, better known
as Short Leg John. When he mounted the
rostrom, The shout that went up was deaf

colored leaders. He said that he had here.

had seen Ills error, and that ON the third Of
November he intended to vote for his friends
He said that Mr.. Raley had always been
ready and willing to aid him, and every
other colored man who was in need, and
called on him for assistance. He said that
now was the time Mr.. Raley was now in
need end they could return bis kindness by
voting for him, He said that he had friends
on the republican ticket and be intended t.
