Every democrat that Announces
his name, should announce it sub
iect to the action of the democratic
party.
The party lines have been drawn
in this county, and no democrat
need not make concession to any
republican thinking that he will
get any votes out of their ranks.
The best democrat in the coun-
ty, and the most popular man may
offer himselfas q candidate before
the people without drawing the
party lines himself, and when the
election is over, he may put all the
republican ballots that has been
cast for him, into his eye, and they
would not obstruct the sight.
Another thing, it is damaging to
our party when we do not organ
ize, for when there is no organiza-
ton in the party, some of our lead
, ing democrats get afraid to speak
out, and thereby, causing lethargy
in the party.
,, Where party organizations are
not kept up, candidates are contin-
ually making concessions with the
opposite party, with the hope Of
, gaining votes from the enemies
ranks.
We do not want to elect tina
, kind of men; we want it so arran-
ged that our men may know just
! where to look for their votes. If
they are democrats, let them pro-
claim it from every house-top, if
they be republicans, let them look
to that party for support. This
, line of action keeps men honest,
and tones up the politics of the
country.
We have as many friends in
business and social way, who are
republicans, as we have who are
democrats, and the way to keep
that friendship, is to be honest
with them, and tell them that we
differ with them politically, and
that we expect to strike, at all
times, for what we conceive to be
right, and that We are going to
meet them in politics, as we do in
busincss,-in an open and honest
contest; and that we do not ex-
pect them to surrender any of
their principles, by going for
thing that they do not think in
tn cir hearts is right; and that we
as American citizens, and as dem
ocrats, expect to fight upon the
same line.
When this is done, we have bet
ter men, we have honest politicians,
and we can still be social and bus.
mess friends. Let them know that
democracy is a principle, and net
passion.
The young democrats of the coun-
try have been taught by their
democratic fathers, that there are
no honest republican politicians,
and on the other hand, republican
fathers have instillcd into the
minds of their sons, that there are
no honest democratic politicians;
all of which, is wrong, and should
no longcrbe encouraged; forrepubli-
cans are fighting for a principle
that they think is right, and the
democrats are doing the same; so
politics rightly conducted, is a
principle, and upon that principle,
every democrat should stand, and
make his fight. There is no more
sectional strife among sensible
men; the north and the south are
blended together in way that Sec

ones that We want to serve the peo-
pie, or shall we surrender every
Office in the county over to the re-
publican party?
We are aware of the fact, that
some democrats have not favored
primary elections, but after all, the
result has invariably been satisfac,
tory to every democrat II the
county,
Take two years ago for an illus
tration; would we have elected a
single democrat, if it had not have
been that We held our primary
election, and decided upon the
democrats that we wanted to fill
our Offices?
There is not democrat in the
county, but was better pleased,
though he may not have gotten
his first choice, than he would have
been, to have had every Office in
the county filled by republicans.
The republicans say, Gas does
minority parties at all tines let ev-
cry man run Independently, and
have no politics in county elections,
but mark you,! while they insist
upon that line of action, they hold
their secret conventions, and select
their strongest men to make the
race; and they never run but one
candidate for the same office,
which, ofitself proves, that they
are under strict control of their par
ty.
How many republicans, or indie
pendcnts, Gas you are pleased to
call them) run for the same office
two years ago? There was but
one, and he was the strongest
man in the republican party in
the county, and had full assurance
that he would have no opposition
by any other republican running
for the same office; hence, we say,
they were carefully selected by
private caucus or convention, to
beat, if they could, the democratic
candidates.
There was not democratic can
dldate in the field, who received
any republican votes; every repub-
lican voter in the county support
ed the independent candidates. 1t
resolved itself into this;-evcry
democrat has his preference, his
first choice is the one he considers
as being the best democrat, and
the best man in the county for
the place; his second choice is the
second best dsmocrat, etc. At no
time, and under no consideration,
is he, if he be a good democrat,
willing to surrender the offices of
the county over to the republican
party. So we say that it is better
that majority of the democrats
get their first choice, and the MI
nority of them voting at q prima-
ry to get their second choice, than
for none of them to get any choice
at all. 1t is democratic, and it is
right, to submit to majorities, and
We take it that there is not good
democrat living, who had not
rather submit to the wishes Of a
majority of his brother democrats,
than to surrender all over to the
encmy-the republican party.
We know there has been some
objection among democrats in the
county, as to the way the prima-
ries have been conducted, and to
this We will say, that the regula-
ton of the primaries are entirely
in the hands of the democrats, and
they can certainly throw the re-
strictions around them, that will
