REMEMBER THESE THINGS,

REMEMBER THESE THINGS,
The Spring Election will be
held next Monday. On that day
The Democracy will be called 10
meet an enemy that is not only
cruel, but relentless. Since lis
organization the Republican par
ty has stopped at no measure
that would.sncompass our defeat.
Its life has been a strife against
the principles of The Democratic
party; principles, without which
our claims of freedom would be
a hollow tte'ensa principles
! cotemporaneous with the exist
ance of the Republic. II has
hunted us as the tiger hunts his
prey. without rest and without
mercy. 1t has has rejoiced al
our defeat; it has tremb:ed al
the uplifting of our standard al
ter each fall. Our presence is
constant menance 10 its safety,
because we are witnesses of its
crimes. II is the skeleton in the
closet that has brought disaster
10 The country it is The milldew
that lends ruin TO whatever il
touches the cloud that darkens
the fair name of our leaders that
have passed away and 1t is its
hand that is holding the poisoned
chalice to the lips of everything,
that does not come at its beck
and call.
1t would not only be folly, but
it woald be a sin for us 10 foster
a feeling of charity for Republi-
canism Its spawn swarms like
bees around this or that ism, but
it is only 10 distract our forces
That is the purpose. The leaders
that 60 off with side issues. soon
er or later find their way back
to the foot of the Republican
throne from whence they were
sent to do their dirty work. Re-
member, then, that it is Repub-
licanism that the Democrats
must fight next Monday. That
day will be no time for sen'i-
mentalIsm. We should deaden
our ears to bypocritical cant, We
should fight with as little mercy
as we have been fought. 1t is
the duty of every Democrat to
vote his ticket. Burn your lead
pencils and vote the ticket
straight in township and town.
Remember The past. Remember
what indighsties, what personal
abuse has been heaped upon our
candidates. Come down to The
present day and note with what
malignity Democratic officials
have been assailed.
Democrats, you owe il 10 your
selves. 5ou owe It 10 your party |

in our lines and that there shall
not be one Democratic vote out

day. Force the fight from the
beginning and carry 1t INTO the
strongholds of the enemy. Ac |

place 10 which he aspires. lie

you on many a field, and he is
with you nGsw. flie Republicans

you Can every hour of the day.
There is not an office in township |

not capable of filling. There is

We have talked plain about
this mat er because we have felt
it our duty 10 Go so. The abuse
that We are subject 10 Is withou,

we strike back and strike hard.
We don't want to harass. but
crush the opposition. We be-

right and in believing that, feel
that the spring election is no
time TO declare truce. Tie war

must not forget that. Bring out
the vote next Monday. Not
part Of it, but all of 1t. We want
everything this spring. 1t is ours
