goaded on and enticed by the threats and

islatiye delegation from this county, 1t will
be done by the votes of the jumping goats;
and what is worse than jumping goat?
A sheep may be stopped from jumping.
and become good and useful sheep, but
there is no redemption for a jumping
goat, suspicioned and despised by all. He
is only fit to be slaughtered. Remember,
too. that there are great and living prlncl-
pies underlying this grand work in which
YOU have enlisted, principles looking to
the upbuilding in all that is good and no.
BILE of yourselves and fellow men. The
man who can see no farther than to sup
pcse that this uprising of the people, this
determination on their part to better their
condition, is nothing more than the CRY OF
the demagogue and office seeker, IS neither
patriot nor prophet, and should be
sent to school. Listen not to the winning
cries OF such, but use your own brains,
and nerve your strong arm to strike Tor
home and country, for wife and children.
Remember. too, that if there is to be peace
and harmony within the Democratic
ranks, according to the views OF the oppo-
sition rs interpreted by their actions, 1t
must come by the sacrifice OF your own
cause and the giving up OF your own dear
rights. AS you constitute large maJorl-
tT of the great Democratic hosts, and as it
is from a small minority that this cry for
peace comes, say to them Che minority
! that the only way to secure peace and
harmony is for them to come over to us
and help us fight this great battle for the
people. Why is it that they don't come,
anyway? Why should those who should
be our friends in this cause still continue
to antagonize their very best friends and
place every obstruction in the way OF our
success? Are We not good citizens, and
have we not helped them build up their
fortunes. their towns and business? Have
| we not manfully stood to our Democratic
| puns? In 1876, in every emergency, IN
every time of danger that has arisen. have
we not been true to the people. to our
country and homes? What would have
been accomplished in the past without us!
! What promise of hope in the future has
this county and State without us? How
manly, how noble, and how profitable to
our opposers and to our county would 1t
be for them to come to us and help us
| gain victory that would loosen the
shackles that now bind and hold down
the strong arms of the wealth-producers
Of this country! There are thousand
reasons why We cannot go to them. Such
a course means death. But they can, they
should, and they will, sooner or later,
come to us.
In order that we may secure that which
we claira as our right, and give assist
ance TO our fellow-workers throughout
the State, we earnestly call upon every
friend of the movement Of this county who
has not already cast his ballot for noml-
nees of the General Assembly to either
meet with his club when called together
to elect delegates to the County Conven-
tion ordered to meet on the first Monday
in july next, and so do, or to send his bal
lot to the Secretary of his club on or Pc
fore the day OF the convention, SO that the
same may be counted. AS is we'll under

and is intended to get at, the choice OF the
people, and to keep down strife and dlVls-

1t is fair and honest effort, and If 1t were

power, in accomplishing the ends for
which it is designed. We also ask that
under the action of the County Executive
| Committee, at the meeting of our clubs to
elect delegates to the July convention,
each club elect double the number of del

ty Convention, and that the same be IL

first Monday in July next, to nominate
eight delegates to attend the September
State Convention who favor the nomlna-
ton of Hon B. R. Tillman for Governor,
and that the same delegation bring to the
said meeting the returns from their re-

and that without this even larger MAORI

Stand up and contend manfully for your
rights, and, after having done all, stand!
