approach of the election affords US
the highest privilege of an Ameri-
can citizen-that of casting our bal
lot for the men who represent the
party whose principles form the
basis of our political faith. We
have good ticket in the field with
men who will pei petuate the prin-
ciples SO dear to every citizen of
this Republic. The Republican
party is the synonym Of all that is
good in this truly happy and pros
porous country. Its dawn was
ushered upon this country when
human slavery and abject poverty
were its only heritage. Slave Ia
Dor and free trade had brought the
laboring man to the verge of the
poor house. School houses and
free schools were to a great extent,
an undiscovered, or lost art. The
Supreme Court had decided through
one of its judges, that, 1.-THE black
man had no rights that a white
man was bound to respect" The
democrats north, united with the
democrats south, with the fugitive
slave law to remand the fleeing
slave back to bondage and TO death.
White men were imprisoned for
daring to teach the black man how
TO read and write. Miss Prudence
Crandal, an estimable white lady.
was mobbed and her house burned
down by the cruel democracy, be-
cause she opened school for color
ed girls. Our mothers. brothers and
sisters were sold in the market
like cattle at the stock yards, until
Abraham Lincoln, the great Eman-
cipator, proclaimed liberty in these
United States. Abraham Lincoln,
OF sacred memory to us, was the
first Republican President of these
United States. 1t was then that
the tree of liberty was painted
whose leaves have been for the
healing of this Nation from the
course OF human slavery, the fangs
Of which had poisoned every de-
partment of the polite. It's ven-
ON had entered the judiciary and
the church. Hypocritical ministers
were so imbued with the poison
that they believed a lie and preach
ed it-"that slavery was Divine
institution" Every step of pro-
gress that this country and the col
ored man has made, has been con-
tested by the democrats. Wha
combated the 18th, l4th and 18Th
Amendments? Democrats. Who
fought against the passage of the
Civil Rights bill? Democrats.
Who opposed the Silver bill? DEM
acrats. Who is in deadly array
against the Election bill? Democrats
like the devil are always found
opposing every thing that is good
for the people. There is only one
way to conquer the devil, and that
is by keeping to the right. There
is only one way to conquer democ-
racy, and that is the proper use of
the ballot, which if a weapon of de-
tense as we'll as offense. If the Re-
publicans will do their duty (and
we think they will, they will use
the ballots IL such numbers as will
bury the democray SO deep that
they will not bloom next Spring,
"when the robins nest again" We
have state and co nty ticket of
good and true men who will carry
the banner of Lincoln, Logan and
Cullom, fathers of the Republican
party. Don't be deceived by the
cry, "Oh! there is no politics in the
county Offices" That is one OF tn !,
Old Boys tricks to deceive the un-
wary You may as well say there
is no whiskey in corn, OF meat in
an egg, as to say there is no politics
in county offices. We can make
whiskey out of corn, and hatch
chickens out of eggs; so democrats
will hatch political chick ems, and
distil democratic (whiskey) politics
out of county Offices if they get
then. See that Chas Selby and J.
G. Neuman, our county nominees
get your vote Nov. Sth 1892.
