Che Democrats Of Lyons County
in the PoupuliSt Line.
A LOGICAL ADDRESS,

| l..
democrats of this county held meet
iLg here last night to take action on
the political situation. The following
address was issued ard Will be sent
out to the democratic voters of Lyons
county and elsewhere:
1--WE, the undersigned democrats of
Lyons county, Kansas, being fully con-
vinced that it is impossible for the
democratic party at the coming No
vember election to elect any of its
nominees, and knowing that large
number of tried and true democrats
will not vote with the party in Kansas
this fall, and believing that our state
and the interests of society and good
government will be best subserved by
the defeat OF the republican party all
along the line, ard knowing as we do
from long experience the utter inabil-
Ity of democracy to alone and single
handed cope with republicanism in
this state, and knowing further that
either the pOpulist OF republican ticket
will be elected this fall, we desire to
call the attention of our democratic
brethren TO few facts and ask you to
join with lis i'll supporting the popu
list ticket, to the end that our ancient
enemy may not be again placed i'll
power.
The republican party is the same
in principle and belief as when last in
power, aud that alone should be sufii-
Gent reason for voting to defeat it..
IL is us full of 'McKiDleyism and ted
eral elections law as much the fr.euds
of combines, trusts and corporations
as it ever was. What evidence have
you of it's reformation?
"a cote for q democ,utsc candidate has
fall rs holt q cote for a republican. A
divided opposition means success for
the republicans.
I'VE cannot hope nor reasonably
ask the populis:s to come to us, be-
cause they are much the larger body.
Therefore, to defeat the republicans,
we must go to them.
'sYou may ask: What do we gain
by the success of the pOpullsts? We
answer: We defeat the republican
party, which we have been laboring to
do for many years, and put in power
Il party that certainly is of the labor
ing people, and one that is much lie r r
to us and our principles than is the
party which for thirty five years has
made incessant war upon us.
''I.et us not forget so soon how We
have been traduced, villified and SLAM
dered by the republican party, and
note now how we are honied over by
that same party, and all because they
need and want our votes. We owe
them nothing. They ask us to per-
sistently stand firm by our ancient
principles: which same principles they
heretofore denominated rs reasonable,
and called us, who held them, traitors
bent on the destruction Of our own
beloved country.
Mark the words of John J. Ingalls,,
that alleged stasesman out of job,
who but recently in public speech
said: The democratic party is the
common dumping ground for all the
filth of this country, and it is the
scarlet woman OF the nineteenth CELL
tury.' lie who has never let pass an
opportunity to pour, out his vitriolic
acid OH the heads of democrats now
pats David Overmeyer and his stall
: wart party associates on the back,
calls them honorable men,' men with
) principles etc. And in this dupiicity
| he is not alone. The same policy is
, pursued by all leading republicans.
do you, fellow democrats, think
| for moment that they love us now?
, .sDo you think our principles are
! any the less hateful TO them now than
, they were six months ago? No!
