al politics When the time comes to dis
cuss such issues we will be ready for them.
In word our people are interested IN
democratic success, and care far more for
the present, who shall be County Commits
siOners or what manner of men shall con-
troll the government of the county, than
all else besides. Let us attend to one thing
at a time. 1t is Il dangerous experiment
to forecast the future, because there are
SO many contingencies to be considered,
that the one who does so, is apt to be left
at sea. Our people are really concerned
with but a single question, the nomination
first of good ticket, and then its election.
We have learned to know that our affairs
are safe in the hands of the democratic
party, and we are determined to keep them
there. Then there should be no side is
sues to distract their attention and lead
them away from their allegiancieS to their
party. This talk so freely ventilated about
the necessity for the defeat of Mr. Cor
man, is all boSh. Mr.. German is not a
candidate, and he is by no means an issue
at this time That he is the recognized
leader of the party both state and national
is distastcful to some people, and that is
all that is in it. 1t is then the duty of the
democracy of the county to be true to their
colors and keep up an earnest and active
hard foe to deal WITH and we know that
some times in the past, this county has
gone republican. For this reason there
will be a strong fight made, and every
voter should know if he wishes the sue
cess of his party, that he must do energetic
active work. There is much to be done,
and the first move in this direction, is
thorough organization in each district.
,, Then look after the registration of voters,
and this done, the party will be in good
order and ready for battle. Now one word
about the convention for the nomination
of county candidates. There are many
| asprants. All cannot win. There are
| only certain number of positions to be
| filled, and in the most of them, Only one
man can be selected. There will of course
be disappointments. This is the common
lot of all men. Now just here comes the
the true test of party fidelity and devotion
| to principle. No public man has ever yet
gained anything by sulking over Il defeat
| fer nomination. al cannot succeed, and
it is a true saving that everything will
come to him that waits Re true to your
party then in the end all will be well.
Neglect to do your duty then all may be
lost, not only to the individual who fails
| to do his duty. but his whole party will
share the same fate. 1t is then incumbent
| upon each and every individual member OF
the democratic party to be up and doing.
| There is much at stake, and we must win.
1t will be an everlasting shame if we lose
| the county. Let any one thl TX OF what
| such a disaster may bring about. This
will be sufficient to ~ecall the wavering
member, and bring back to the fold the one
who was inclined to be careless. 1t is a
| great fight that confronts us, and every
inch of the way will be contested. We
can win This is Il democratic county, and
all that is needed to keep it so, is to organ
ize our party and get the voters to the
polls H..
