IDENTIFY hope that the charm Of a sol

principles OF Jctfcrsonian Democracy
are adhered 10 by the party organi-
cation Why should any Southern
man, or STATE, abandon the ranks Of
the democratic party and join the
republican horde, when their best
interests are SUBSCRIBED by the MAIN
taiaance of the principles Of the dem
oclatic pa. t.? The South mas nothing
to gam by the keeping up Of high
protective tariff, or the d-mJnlt "a
Of the silver dollar. The fostering
Of the interest Of capital and monop-
olies, at the expense OF the produc-
er, can never result i'll any good to
| the masses of the South. The MAIN
tainance Of the well-krown, republi-
can policy oi approaching the value
of money and eorrespondingly de
preciating the value OF ali other com
modities, by increasing the purchas-
ing power OF money, Is ruinous to the
southern producer. That the rep
ublican party has striven to proA OF
the int.res Of mo opolies, the
lexpense Of the people is krown Of
all men. Millions of dollars of the
| peoples m ,ney.aud hundreds of mi
/ Ions Of acres OF the peoples lands,
have been given to private corpora
litions tor their own private benefit,
without money and without price.
The favored henchmen OF the re-
publican party have denounced the
people Of the South as bailot-box

they have been endorsed by The
masses Of the repu bhcan voters il
these vile utterances. And still the
| Republicans denounce Democrats be-
cause they 30 not join the party
which has THIS robbed and malign-
ed them. Not only their best inter
