be democratic, equally as much so as that
any one of her southern sister states should
be. Our people cannot afford to run the
risk of such a calamity. Remember the
complexion of our voting population. Re
member that republican victory in the
State would mean a change in every Off
Ger of the State from Justice of the Peace
up. Are the people prepared for such "A con-
tingencv or the risk of such contingency,
because for SOOth. certain persons for their
own good reasons are the enemies of
Mr.. German. Now here is the milk in the
cocoanut, 1--WE are opposed to the German
rule land rather than see him succeed,
we i'll wreck the party" This is the full
text of the malcOntents philosophy and
creed. But what is the success Mr.. Cor
man is to achieve: He is not a candi
date, he will not in the nature of things be
Il candidate for two years and he may
never be one again. Then upon a contin
gency so remote these people wish to de
feat their party, and are doing all in their
power to accomplish that end. As we I'M
derstand the situation Senator German de-
sires the success of the Democratic party
and his friends are doing all in their pow
er to aid him in this laudable undertaking.
His enemies are fighting the success of the
party, and herein lies the difference be-
tween them. But they call themselves
democrats, and denounce him as a repub-
lican and a prOtectionist. But which ele
ment comes the nearer to filling the charge
the malcontents or Mr.. German and his
friends. 1t is time to shut off such non
sense and call halt If we are democrats
let us say so and act accordingly, if we be
lieve i'll the principles Of our party, and
are not partisans for revenue and personal
advancement, let us urge as far as we can
the success of our party. Be men, and do
not dodge behind an excuse so t1imsy
But it is easy to frame an excuse, for an
act that pleases us to perform. But there
should be no excuse for a democrat to stay
from the polls or vote against his ticket
We believe that this sentiment, at one
time so antagonistic to the party, is fast
losing its form and influence. 1t is dying
out, because the people so plainly see
| through its object. 1t is the desire to pull
down first the party, and of course all the
| ruling spirits in its ruins, like Sampson of
old, with the pillars of the temple. But
! in this mad attempt they cannot and will
| not succeed. Indeed they must not for
every consideration opposes such Il result.
| Every social, every political, every indus
! trial consideration opposes the success of
| the Republican party in the State, and
what applies to the State at large applies
with equal force to this county. We can
not afford to lose the coming election, and
our people must see to it that we return
one of our old fashion majorities. This
| can be done, and when our people make
| up their minds it will be done. Then from
| now until election day let our people be on
| the alert, because we have hard fight
ahead of us, and we will win. Come togeth
| er in council and take one another's adj
vice and confidence, in IA word organize
| for the fight and victory will be assured.
