To the Democrats of Chatham County,
Your executive committee would earnestly in

member of the party at the polls on
| Wednesday next. The Importance OF a
full vote in this county cannot be exaggerated,
for if the state ticket is to receive majority
that will put at rest forever the influences
which are now disturbing and threatening the
state it must rely for such upon the vote OF the
several cities. Not only will the majority

feet In a great measure the congressional cleo
tions in November, but as well the elections all
over the country. Democrats everywhere now
| have their eyes turned toward Georgia as anx-
| iously as they are accustomed to look at the
| fall elections in Indiana and New York. It is
| openly asserted in the north and west that
| Georgia is no longer democratic state. Let
us meet this assertion on Wednesday next with
| a majority of 10000 votes.
