Slaughter.
LET US AT THEM,
The Ticket a Weak One, and the Plat

headed by such men as Powell Clay
ton, Keerens, ct al of the same cal

a Republican ticket on the gold
platform. The ticket is a weak
sister" and can be easily beaten if
we buckle on silver as our armor,
and march against the hosts afcor

pension grabbing, and all other
species of fraud that can be heaped
upon a tax ridden people.
