Marshall County-cnn Not Be De-
luded by the, Democrats into Split
ting Their Tickets. ss9f.,ls

In the sections Of Marshall county
devoted to agriculture. politics are very
quiet. but the citizens are by no means
dead to the great Issues to be decided
next November. While they are notso
enthusiastic in their political beliefs as
in former years, they are Mt their work
carefully considering the conditions
that brought prosperity in such abund5-
ance.to every home in the republic since
&c. V y,
They still remember the fallaclous elo-
quencr of the orator from tho Platte
and the deep logic and plain facts that
flowed from the lips Of tho great states
man and soldier Of Ohio.
Some OF us farmers still remember
and feel the penury and want inflicted
upon US from '92 to '96. and VIC are well
aware who 1t was that brought about
the prosperity Of to-day and lifted US
from want to plenty. If We arc not en-
thusiastic. don't be alarmed, we are at
work, VIC ore prosperous and will cast
our votes at the next election for the
party thlt represents prosperity and
| protection, sound dollar at home and
abroad 8S ~ i :,
The Democrats think they have
changed our. minds by. requesting US to
kdefeat our county officers, and, to accept
Bryan as our leader. They stamp our
local officers as hdefaulters because
money has been appropriated for yari-
Gus improvements. Had they been in
power they would have made the same
necessary Improvements and our debt
would be as great IS at present. 1t is
only q game to Feat the Republican
ticket locally. We are too old to be
caught and have no desire to teach our
sons to mark and detacc their ticket.
The unadulterated Is good enough for.
US. We will vote as We have done In
the pasta straight tlcket-from top to
bottom.
Since politics In rural districts Is go
dormant the Democracy concludes that
they will carry q majority Of the local
Offices In tbs county and several dis
tricts. To the "uged and broken" DEM
ocracy. we would say do not be deluded,
DO not give yourself away. to fantastic
I dreaming. Do not become SO eager for
prey. Do not think we must bow to the
throne of Democracy because we are
not enthusiastic. During the campaign
Of '96, We had no work, could get no
price for what we had to put on the
markets, then we had time to "thuse;"
but now that we are prosperous and
work so urging. we have no time to de-
vote to "thusing," but we possess that
silent enthusiasm that Impressed upon
our minds the necessity of casting cur
ballot for the party that was and is in
strumcnta in bringing about the pres
ent prosperity.
During the late primaries and conven-
lions Democracy become elated because
some of US were inclined TO be some
what indignant over some of the nomI-
| nations. 1t was then the Democrats
began bowling and raging about mis-
management of county affaIrs-the cor
ruption of office holders. By doing this
they hope to win some of us over to
their party affiliations.
We see them assembled insmall groups
on the streets and highways, each in his
turn rejoicing over the fact that he can
Zine UP" certain Republicans because
they do not like the nominee.
Fellow Republicans, will we ever con-,
sent to allow some Democrat to reign
and lead US up to the sacred ballot box
with q defaced ticket. Then boast
about lining up Republican" The
very same men that ask us to deface
our ballot. would not vote for Repub-
lican. They, by their vote. try TO de:
feat the head OF our republic. Those
very same men desplse the Republican
platform and the principles therein and
by SO doing defame the principles
taught and executed by Abraham Lin
colu. Let us not desert our fellow Re-
publcans and cast our ballot to elect
one who does not vote with US, elect
one that hates our party and its princi-
Giles! Never. never! If we have dislike
for any nominee let US bury 1t and be
up and doing for the G. O.. P. From
observation 1t is not saying too much
thatall our county offices and a majority
OF districts Will be filled by Republican
nomlnees-hy, men devoted to the doc
trine of Lincoln, Garfield and Mckinley
by men loyal to their country and It's
flag whether planted on the peaks Of the
Rockies or the distant islands of the
sea. a FARMER.
