DAVE DEMOCRACY.


day 23rd inst, at Callahan, and will
close Saturday 3rd prox., at Smith
Grove. Every things lovely but the
weather, and as the sands of time till
the day of final settlement run short,
confidence of victory is just as strong
as when We first began by putting out
the best of all good tickets. The tug
of war is on us, and each and every
one of us is on duty working like
beavers. We shall not be surprised
to see political lightning Tightening
of votes) strike the camp of our friends
the enemy. We are going to give
them thunder at any rate. We see
the triumph from afar; by election
we'll bring it nigh.
Hon. L. B. Bailey, Rowan and Da-
vie's next State Senator, is before his
i people Tor the first time in political
capacity, and as campaigner is sur
| passing even the most sanguine ex-
pectations OF his friends. He is doing
some fine missionary work, and will,
in all probability, work up a first
| class revival among the Republican
brethren by the close of the canvass
As yet, the Republicans have failed to
bring out caucus candidate to OPP
pose him, though it is likely an elev-
enth hour man may be trotted out on
election day and try to slip in by
catching the Democrats mapping.
They tried to pull the wool over our
eyes once before ] y trick of that
sort, but they failed then as they will
now, should they attempt any such
shenanigan.
Never, in the history of our country
have the Radicals imported as many
speakers to manufacture campaign
thunder for them. They realize only
too bitterly the utter hopelessness of the
| outlook, and how hard it is to row
against the tide, but they die hard and
are straining every nerve and leaving
no stone unturned to carry votes. It's
the last sad wall of dying calf fat
tened ON trusts and monopolies. They
have raised the Macedonian cry,
"Come over and help u.s. many have
answered, but find variety of varieties.
Their local speakers don't draw as
they did in the halcyon days of "sweet
long ago." so they advertise Jas. B..
Mason and Aug. H. Moore, but John
Hendricks fills the appointment; they
meke an engagement for Mott, and 10 !!
DR.. Ramsy turns up and fills in the
| time to the best of his ability. Mott
and Linney are billed for County
Line 18th inst. Will the Judge"
crate in their stead
The people cry down with taxation,
and, in their might, are up with bal
lots in their hands against it. Since
Congress adjourned and the Senate
was wrong on the subject of getting
their great am substitute bill
through, the local adherents of the g.
o. p are dumb as clans about it. Cat
aract never SO deadened the vision,
nor stone deafened the ear.
When Garfield was elected, Re-
publicans in this county tainted
Democrats with the assertion it would
be 329 years before a Democrat filled
the Presidential chair. 'Twould be
too bad for spiritualism to lose such
shining mediums. Won't you oblige
us again, gentlemen, by DOMINIC your
prognosticsting caps and prophesy it
will be 800 thousand years before the
Republicans reduce tariff taxes and
abolish the internal revenue? We
are sure you will not damage your
regulations as seers, if you glance
through the mists and vapors of fu-
turity and predict this as the reason
able result of your augurial divina-
tions.
Hon John S. Henderson is billed
for four speeches in this county this
week, aud he will set fiat down on the
sanctimonious Judge" who has been
stumping it 10 these many days. He
is invited to be on hand and we sin
cerely trust the gentleman will show
up. When Henderson inserts the
corkscrew of Interrogation to inquire
into his record, for once, if it's in him
the pure wine oftruth will he extract
ed from the willy Jean.
| The other side of the house is very
much taken aback by the largely in
creased number of voters being regis
tered, and we'll they may be, for We
are training up our young men in the
nurture and admonition of Jefferson
ian simplicity AS the Democrat:
eye notes the trend of straws on the
stream of public favor, it closes with
a CLEAN of deep and intense satisfac
ton. TAM O'SHANTER.
