QUITS DEMOCRACY
In Its Organized Form of To day
A Party Of Fraudulent Elec.
tions and Dishonest DOL
lars,
JOINS THE PEOPLES PARTY,
The Young Giant which Stands for p,r.

Money Devil Fish be Allowed to Seize
not Only the Wealth Of the Country but


Aisoths Ksips Of Governments.
JACKSONVILLE, OSsLow COUNTY,
y. O., Sept. l6.-I have voted the
Democratic ticket all my life. BEGIN
ming with j. X. Polk and Geo. NJ. BAL
las, comprising a period of about 81
wears. | have been hOnored by the
voters Of my county to seat in the
legislature from 1858 to 1864, a period
of six years, and was elected again i'm
1880 but was counted out by canvas
sing board. The House, however,
seated me at the end Of the session of
1891.
For this, 1 return to the voters OF
my native cOunty-this land wherein
l can exclaim in the language Of the
Scottish bard, "this my own my native
land" the homage and the thanks of a
greatful heart.
And now with this acknowledge
ment, deem it just to myself and to
them and To the people of my State to
give my reasons for severing, at this
time, my connection with the present
organization of the Democratic party
and aligning myself with the Peo-
pies party.
Because the sO-called Democratic
party has left the landmarks of De-
mOcracy.
Because it ignores The purity of the
elective franchise and gives certifi-
Gates of election 20 men who they know
| are not elected.
Because it prefers party to country,
and is held together by the issue OF
"nigger" and the cohesive power OF
public plumber. / aver that white SUI
premacy as against negro supremacy
will always prevail in the Southern
| States, but this question should not be
made to obscure other issues of vital
Importance.
| Because the Young Giant, the Peo-
| pies party, is the only party now in
tthe United States that stands for the
pure Democracy of jefferson, Monroe
Jackson and Polk, demands a lawful
vOteand an honest count, and upholds
a free press, free speech and free peO-
pie.
Because it is in favor of the free and
unlimited coinage of honest gold and
silver dollars at the ratio of l6 to
with the mints opened to both gold
and silver under the law as 1T existed
prior to "1S73."
Because it opposes the present system
of national banks and demands that
their charters shall be repealed; thai
the money of the government shall be
issued to the people without the inter
ventiOn of a national banking system
Because it is opposed to State bank:
of issue and demands a currency thai
is good in all parts of the United States
in payment of all debts and Obliga
. tians, public and private.
Because w. II. Henry has made .
| ottoaED fha old hamn ra II
machine i'm the CAUCASIAN of Angus
20, 1895. 1t is unanswerableand ought t.
induce all men to WALK OUT and, IL
the language of the lamented Vance
"leave only the smell of birthstone ant
Wall Street." His views illustrat
mine and are better expressed than
can express them.
We have been like toad under tn
= harrow long enough. Sampson los
his strength when his hair was GU
He was captured, brass letters wer
y u nut on him, both his eyes were pu
. out and he was placed in the prise
= house and put to grinding. But ri
= hair grew again, he got hold OF tn
. pillars of the house and it fell. We al
in SIMPSONS fix, except only one
our eyes are put Out-the silver eye.
Let the Young Giant, the People
II party, do as Sampson did-bOw hin
self with all his might and shatter tf
% present financial laws into flinders.
Awake my country!
.Tha Philistines are upon yOu!!

II Finally, leave the present orgal

recent Democratic convention at Jac

u against the national banking syste
j. and one against the issuing OF go
bonds by the government; and DO
WERE VOTED DOWN.

In leaving the present Democrat

ma manly to differ but childish to gu.
