The Democracy

| The Democracy.
The democrats Of this county cannot atior'
to allow single man on the democratic tick
ct 10 be defeated. Let the tickets be voice
as they are printed and La Sale county vii
show democratic majority that will AZ
tonish Col. Fullerton and his republican
committee.
The republican central committee is boast
ing that La Sale county is going back to re-
publicsnism. The question that every dem
ocrat has to answer on Tuesday next is
twill | assist such scheme!' We have M
doubt AZ to the answer that will be given.
The republicans are relying on liberal
use of money in the cities Of Streator, LIS
Sale. Mendoza, Ottawa and Peru to carry
the county. What they fail to accomplish
With money they hope to gain through In
.imidstiOn ofths employees, By pit bosses and
others. The whole scheme will fail II dem
ocrats do their duty, and In an emergency
democrat, do do vh Il is sII sotsd Of them.
II every democrat in the county oonstitu'
tes himself committee Of one 10 work at tn
polls on Tuesday there will be little danger
Of disaster.
Straight voting on Tuesday means vio'
tory thst will sstonish the people Of La Sale
Sale county. Democratic victory 10 in the
air.
When republicans talk about Murdoch
having any chance Of an election a. against
George Blake, they talk the shserest non'
sense. George will beat Murdoch in his own
town. Strestor republicans as we'll ss DEM
ocrats are working for him.
1.-THE Republican thinks Blake ought not TO
be elected because he has at times defended
persons charged with crime. That complaint
if needed, would bar nearly every lawyer In
La Sale county except Murdoch. He has
never either prosecuted or defended man.
The only reason 1t wouldn't bar him is be-
cause he has little or no practice-criminsl
or otherwise.
II is just Is we'll for the people Of this
county to elect. on Tuesday, . lawyer for
states attorney. Anyone who knows the legal
Of Blake and Murdoch will not
hesitate about voting for Blake.
The republican central committee 10 ready
10 let everything 80 to heat Barrett and to
slect johnson circuit clerk. This is, We
presume. because Barrett vas soldier and
Johnson wasn't; but the scheme won't work.
Barrett is entitled to every democratic vote
in La Sale county and he will get il. He is
! clean. upright gentleman and will make an
efficient officer.
johnson, the republican candidate for the
,irouit clerk Is doing very lively business
N tho way Of promising deputyships. lie is
right and left. As his prospects
II election are nothing no harm Is done but
Ia hardly fair treatment to some who are
ioing active work for him with the eIpecta'
Ion of getting something. When he gets
through with this canvass he will probably
know more about running campaign.

Brewer. Barrett, Blake and Burksrt. pretty
good array of "B's". Three Of them we're
boys in blue and Blake would have been but
ne wasn't old enough. Why shouldn't Joe
Burkhsrt be elected recorder Of this county
Why he should be- He is just as competent
n Arnold and he has not held the office ten
years already. Arnold has gotten rich out
of public place and its about time someone

in the army receiving rebel bullets. Arnold

Is nothing more than fair now, that Burk>
hart be given chance to draw something
from the public pure. He is citizen who
s deserving and democrat who should get
democratic votes. Arnold has been in office
10 long that he boasts that he owns half the
democratic party in La Sale county, body,
soul and breeches-what do democrats think

afford to take any chances.
Browne and French made oreditable reps
in the Illinois legislature 9 year
since. Both now have terms experience
and are thus better fitted for legislative
duties than the very inexperienced and very
laxative Mr.. Ross.
