We ought to add to the
3,472 the TAG and poll APIS demo-
cratic votes. We believe that it
is possible but not probable unless
extraordinary work is done. 1t is
fact not generally recognized that
five districts in this county went re-
publican in 1884, 6, Z, II and
Is. We ought to make amends for
letting things go to the dogs thus.
CHAIRMAN RIVERS ADDRESS.
FeloaO citizens of Gates:-The time
is at hand. On Tuesday next,
Nov. End, you will exercise at the
ballot boxes of your county that
highest prerogative right of an
American citizen-that right which
makes of each of you an uncrown-
ed king-the right not only of rul-
ing yourselves, but of aiding to
rule your fellows. The issues have
been Joined in this state between
the two great parties who are con
tending Tor the mastery of this
government. Already have our
SIoLSI SGaJSS W lHO oOuIu VI 10
sent US greeting in the shape of I'M
precedented democratic gains. In
Alabama Thos. E, Seay is the gov
ernor backed by a democratic ma
iority of $4,000 votes, while in
Georgia the gallant Gordon will sit
in the gubernatorial chair with ono
republican in state senate and four
10 the house of representatives.
Therefore, in this jubilee year Of
democracy-we ask you, in the in
teIest of social order and good gov
ernment-in the interest and for
t he welfare of the Institutions that
are nearest and dearest to you, to
give Bob Taylor and the democrat
ic ticket such a majority in Giles
as you will be proud of-such a
majority as will make every Giles
county voter wish he were q demo-
crat. 1t can be done and we ask
you to do it. Careful, painstaking,
laborious work on election day will
do it, and such work we ask of
you. The result will tell the tale.
By order of the Giles comfy
democratic executive committee.
