people and TO whom the great heart of the
Democratic and common people of the
country looks for it's redemption from the
spokesman, its regeneration from the inn
perialist and it's enthrallment from trusts

Democratic ticket and pledge the united
support of the delegation from the State

REPUBLICANS SEIZE
DEMOCRATIC CIRCULARS

Colored Republicans are being in
timidated by Democrats. Many com
plants of attempts to inumidate have
been reported to Republican headquar-
ters.
On Saturday last the Democrats sent
out big packages of circulars to be
distributed among the colored people
in the two lower counties. A package
of these fell into hands of Republi-
cans in Bridgeville. In Blackbird hum
dred another package was seized by
Republicans.
These intimidating circulars are in
tended to cause the c0lored Republi-
cans to remain away from the polls on
election day. The Republican Commit
tee has assured the voters that there
is no reason to become frightened be-
cause the announcements are frauds.
