shown themselves 10 be working in the
interest of a few and after the accumula-

people, and hence monopoliste; at least
to that extent. Then, good Democrats,
who have Joined this new party, since
you have thus observed the practical
workings of an idea long entertained by
the Republicans-wit whom you are

principle of your being. Come back
where you can feel at home, where you
and the rest OF your Democratic breth-

hearthstone, and drink from that perpet-

from whence have flowed the grand old
principles of your party. You are bound
by this new party, in nominating a ticket
for every county Office in this county,

and crippllng the efforts OF the Demo
cratic party, of which you are by right
and by faith member, and is more un-
Just and oppressive to the people than
any ever sanctioned by the Democratic
party, for by this movement the new
party say that the minority shall Judge
for and dictate to the majority. The
originator of this movement may have

on that account to see its evil tendency
Again, the new party say that they are
in favor Of fair, just and equitable adj
ministration of the Offices of the county,
alike to all. In this, they are not
different from the Democratic
party. In fact, the new party borrowed
this very idea from the Democratic party,
and which was furnished them through
their Democratic members, and cannot
claim, as party, to have originated It.
1t Is sentiment that has been voiced forth
in every utterance ever made by the
Democratic party So lay not the hatter-
ing JUNCTION TO your souls, that you have
discovered the philosophers stone Not
only have the Democratic party preached
this doctrine, but they have practiced is;
and this new party cannot point 10 a
single time when the Democratic party
have favored contrary doctrine; or have
helped to administer the affairs OF this
country in any other way. Name the
time when, the case in which, and the
person, who thus refused to administer
them, and the Democratic party promises
to help you put in office men who VIII
properly administer the laws. 1t certain

were honest In asserting your belief, and
in your intention to remedy the evil,
then you would not have rendered
him the nomination and Endorsement of

you not willing to allow him to remain in
