BE True to Your Party.

The Democratic ticket to be voted for in
November next is now complete and in the
field. 1t deserves and should receive the cor
dial support Of every voter who believes
Democratic doctrines as laid down by JeiIrr-
son, jackson, Tilden and Cleveland. Differ
eDces of opinion may exist with regard to
choice of candidates, and nominations under
any circumstances, are apt to leave feeling
OF bitterness in the minds of unsuccessful as
pirants. 1t may be distasteful to vote for
those for whom we have no personal liking,
but every true Democrat ought to be willing,
for the general good, to lay aside personal
feeling and support the ticket nominated by
his party
Parties must exist 10 a free government,
and believing that the interests of the peo-
pie are in better hands under Democratic
administration, it is safer, in the long run, to
stick to your party and vote for its caudi-
dates. The aims and tendencies of the two
great political parties are sharply contrasted
In the wise, conservative and prudent admin
istration Of eX-President Cleveland and the
shifting, evasive and zigzag policy Of Pres.
dent Harrison. During President Cleveland's
term every department OF the government
was organized on a business basis The civil
service law was obeyed in letter. and in
spirit rigid economy was enforced in all the
dealings Of the government. Frauds upon
the treasury were prevented and strong eff
fort was made to relieve the people, and es-
pecially the farmers who suffer most, from
the heavy burden Of an unjust tariff and 50 to
regulate it that it would bear equally and
lightly upon all classes. Mark the contrast
now. The civil service law is cyadcd or
openly defed millions of dollars wrung from
the people by tax upon the nccessaries of
life, have been squandcred The Pension
Office is Il disgrace and scandal. Instead Of
providing pensions for volunteers and those
who served honorably in the war, the law is
perverted to include bounty jumpers, desert
ers and men from whom every honest sol
der shrank in contempt
In order to issten negro domination on our
sister State Of Virginia the federal patronage
in that great State has been turned over to
Malone, one OF the most uusCrupuouf and
disgraceiul men Virginia or any other State
ever produced. 1t is not claimed that the
colored mrn is deprived of his vote in Vir-
glnia or that he has not cqnal rights under
the law with the whites but the object is to
enable Malone to control the election ma
chinery Of the State in order to turn it over
IN Ian Rnpnbl;on,, H.,
pie so will it or not.
A like effort is being made in Maryland
Our State is prize which the Republicans
long to possess, AS step towards making the
wholeSouth Republican. A majority ofthe vo-
tiers in Maryland are imbued with Democratic
doctrines They are opposed to the tenden-
cy OF the Republican party to ccntralze pow.
er in the hands Ola few. Being mostly far
mers they are unable TO see how war taxes
upon articles indiSf ensahlc in their
households, originated in the beginning to aid
manufacturers can help them They see the
manufacturers growing rich and richer,
while the farmer is growing poorer every
day.
Democratic principles and policy are the
best that have ever been devised for the gov
eminent Of free people. Unfortunately all
Democrats are not as good as their principles,
but We hold that it is safer in every way to
vote for men who represent Democratic prin-
ciples than for those who profess doctrines
which if carried out in their freest scope
would subyert our liberties and bind the
Gains of monopoly and oppression still more
firmly on the farmer Therefore, we say,
stick to your party and vote for its cand-
datps
