The Democratic party wants Demo
Gratis. The time has come for the
Democratic party TO assert ahd up
hold it's dignity and its sovereignty.
Too long have we allowed mnZwumps
and soTJ-shell cOpters tO ran that
grand and glorious OLD De'u"cratIc
party with its glorious traditions ana
memories. All the talk audtW eddle
about a third party is gotten up t.
hurt the Democratic party. Pat none
but Democrats on guard" should
be the motto OF the Democratic
party in the present canvass. we
want nothing but red hot Demo-
Gratis. Luke-warm Democrats, ike
luke warm Christians, are and ought
TO be spswed out of the muu Ii, - spo-
KEN hy God himself, aud there IS
nothing SO disgusting AS "speWed
out"
Let US have the Democratic party
pure! We want no Prohibition or
Farmers Alliance Third party. Ibe
Farmers Alliance il good thing.
The farmers are the backbone ana
siuew OF the country. The prlnclple
OF the Farmers Alliance, Ill Itself,
was noble; but the cause to which 1t
was devoted hecame detiied in its
dark channel through secret societies.
With the purest motives OF Its most
generous members are mixed the
most sordid interests aud tiercest pas
sious OF mean cOnfederates. When
these political combinations act open
ly aud in daylight, under the eye o.
public opinion, the healthier elements
prevail Not 81 where they are
shrowded in MYSTERY, when they are
subjected to no censor in the discus
sion OF the Impartial and dIspasSIon
ate, and where such litter as John III
Mcdowell and Gov. Buchanan anC
other political tricksters, working II
the dark, exact blind obedience, ant
every man who is not Democrat l.
at once admitted, be he Republican
or Mugwump.
The Democrtic party wants Demo
Gratis.
Where all Is in public, public vir
tue, by the natural sympathi"s OF th'
comimou mind aud by the wholesome
control of shame, is likely to obtalT
supremacy. But where all IL private
shame is but for him who refuses tn
abnegation OF his conscience, eacl
man seeks the indulgence of his PR
Vate vice. And hence in secret socie
ties we find but foul and hatetu
dema gogery, atfnrding pretexts I
the ambition OF such men as Mellow
ell, Buchanan, ct id OH'ne genus:
In "A word, these secret societie
were organized by Mugwumps St.
soft-shelled bauditti to overthrow tn
true Democracy; atfOrding pretext
to the ambition of the politicians, I
the glicence of the penntless, to tn
passions of the revengeful and to tn
anarchy OF the ignorant. But nov
their schemes are detected, aud thel
conspiracy is fOiled, aud sllly, homes
men are 40 longer entrapPed int
their leagues to suffer.
Everybody is in favor OF the Farm
ers' Alliance, and wish them well
but they are misled by mercinary an
ambitious Leaders. What we want
the solid South. we want no longs
the Democratic party run by Mus
wumps, Radicals aud Yankees.
Give us Democrats; known Demo
cratsl
The Democracy OF .Maury Count
will cheerfully support the nominee
OF Democratic primary in the Augu'
election. They are the choice of I'll
Democratic party. The people haV
spoken at the polls. Their voice wi
be heard in August and NOvemb'
next. We want to roll UP gran
victory aud q grand triumph for tn
grand old Democratic party of MauI
County. w.
