Heiore another issue oi the NkWa N
made up for the press, the voters of
breckenridge county will have had an
opportunity 10 cast their ballot at a free
election. An election by secret ballot,
however, 40 declared by the law making
power hut whether Il be secret or open
and free TO all the world, We doubt not
that Il will change the result Demo
Gratis olllreckenridee,a are Democrats from
principle, and We have no fear that any
Of them, W one VI them, because for.
sooth he has the benefit of secret hal
lot, will punyp u OF a single vote, because
he can 10 u secretly We hope aud he
lieve the reverse OF that is true, that all
vi them will take the ticket az it stands,
Vote Il as Il is, and vote for Il nom he
ginning to end. These are times Of
momentous importance to Democrats.
TheRepublicans are using all the strategy
within THEFT power L. defeat the Demo
cratic nominees. They do Il simply to
gain power Their work is not confined
work il made for the district candidates
When we come to consider the county
ticket as made mp by the Democrats
there can not I've the slightest objection
90 IT, All the men on il are good men.
They are men known the county over,
and when they are put in office they will
do their whole duty 20 the people. Why,
therefore, should any Democrat vote
against a single man on the ticket, II he
should do il what is to he gained from
the Republicans. They would not give
the credit to any Democrat for helping
them secure an office. They couldn't
do IT, II a Republican is elected the
glory belongs to the Republicans alone.
The NEws speaks in this manner simply
from conviction and from the fact that
il is Democratic We have stood Nv the
party 10 these sixteen years, and in this
its supreme hour vt trial, We ask those
who have fought with MS, who have
reasoned with us and who have labored
with us, to still I've true to their convic-
tions. Vote with your party Stand by
your nominees and thus score another
victory, II We shall lose an election
now it may I've many wears before the
territory is rcgained Counting noses
fairly and squarly, We think the Demo
Gratis have a clear majority in the county
II few men, however, see cause TO
scratch some OF the candidates, from per
sonal on other reasons, the result may I've
changed. But We don't think this
should he done. let every Democrat
put his cross under the rooster and give
the whole ticket a vote. Our Republi-
can friends never desert their party, and
We commend them for IT, The same
should I've said Of the Democrats. II
every man therefore will do his duty
next Tuesday the ticket will win. We
hope that this matter will I've considered
fairly and seriously, and that good ne.
suits will follow. II is 10 Democrats the
NENs addresses itself, and il they will
weigh the question properly, not a one
Of them will cross his ballot OF lose a imam.
Many things have been wrung into the
present canvass that do not properly be-
long in it, The only question to he con.
sidered is, are the men whom the party
has put up, such men as We can indorse.
Certainly this is true. And il they
represent the true principles of our
party, why cast one OF them aside. The
issues have all been discussed, and there
remains but one last and final move for
Democrats 10 make, and that is to fall in
line and vote.
