The New York journal is getting
a big circulation in this county because
of lis advocacy OF the election of Bryan
and Sewall and because il gives fair
report Of the progress. OF the campaign.
The gold-standard papers have lost all
regard for honesty and their columns
team with talsehood regarding the do.
ings of the Democracy. The Journal
is appreciated by Democrats, who also
wish Maryland had Democratic daily.
Every Democrat in the county is
in the success of the National
Democratic ticket this year, and they
cannot do more to advance its interest
than to aid in placing the MESSENGER
in the hands of their neighbors Every
Voter in the county should read it, as
il presents unvarnished facts, and
advocates theories and principles only
that are of paramount Importance, to
the farmer, the mechanic and the day
laborer
