bringing about a thorough oraaut
of the Democratic party. Nc. e0..

people to lay aside their prr.ll.c,. .
county is oycrwhcImiug.y Democratic
Nearly all the voter, ln obi, county I

we hear some Of them saying "l SOD,
the way shot as Though 'h' 81.

the principles that now divide Ore 90
great political parties. and they a'
Democratic in belief. bUi when iA.l
to the polls will ally themselves
those who are contrary to them Oo'-
spirit and fact; simply because .-
prejudice rules them. And tar' .A'
instructed their children .n ilnf i''

person who will now say t-t because
man was in the Union army Ae '''-.

either liar or ignorant Of tl' a'

What we want now is to gei if 4

The Democrats should take h0 -
seat in this matter; they should Dr. p.
and aggressive: the time ha, come '-
it is absolutely required.
The Republicans are greatly .a F
minority so far as the popular 'o'
concerned, and a great deal more ''
far as the Intelligent popular SOD.
concerned. Cleveland received A'-
100, 200 more votes than Harrison
1888, and no doubt but Harrison .
nearly all the colored vote NUMBER F.
we will say, at least, l.jll'o" No" D.
conceded by all intelligent persons i'.
the cOlOred voters as a elias, are si'' .
inferior to the whites. so far a' ln"'
gence and education Is concerned ''
have Of the intelligent voter col 4
