OcraiiC party has no cause to shrink
from comparison Of such issues,
for while Nj. Camden Is using his
means for the development Of the
State, and the benefit Of the public,

thing, or made one investment
whereby the public todld blythe re

public enterprise. General Golf is
monopolist of the worst sort, he il
so absolutely and entirely monopo.

draw the comparisonI Mr.. Camden
commenced life poor, and by hard
work, sagpcity, aud untiting energy
has become rich, and in so doing ho
has largely contributed to the ma
terial development of the State,
while General Goff, the petted child
Of fortune, has never doneanything
in that direction, The people will

and sagacity enough, to carve his
own fortune out of the rugged
mountain sides, and in so doing
furnished employment to thousands

The real issue in this campaign
is the endorsement Of Cleveland's
administration. He has, we insist
given to the country, an honest
aud economical administration,
aud should be endorsed by every
good citizen. The nominees of the
Democratic party are honest and
capable and they should receive
the cordial support Of every true
Democrat. The Democrats Of Mas.
on county can make their maturity
from 300 to 500 if they will; and
they are going to do it. There is
no quarrel among Democrats this
year, We are united and will win.
