APPEAL TO VOTERS.
The following appeal 10 the voters OF
Manchester was issued last night by
Chairman R.Yes. Of the City Democratic
Committee:
Or, next Tuesday, November 9Th, yoa
will be called upon TO exercise ihe right
of franchise, a right purchased at Lex
inEton ana Yorktown by the blood OF
American pair otsna, and TRANSMITTED 20
.,oste-ity by the trainers of the Constftu-
lion as a heritage 10 be used for the
hest interest of all the people, and MOI
for the benefit of few, and to use II
as was intended is as much the compo-
Irent part of American manhood as VIZ
tue IS essential 10 the makeup OF TIE
highest type of woman.
/; IS the duty Of every man TO vote ana
influence Others TO vote, as their con-
science Dictates or best judgment decides
Will be to the best interests Of the whole
people and moi cast their vote SO that q
few may gain advantage.
The only plea put forth by the Repub-
licsa party to justify themselves for thSir
,ast record is that we nave better times
when that party IS in power. Such con-
.ention is as false as it Is malicious
The Manchester people, if they will but
reflect, Will remember that in 1892 the
Southern Railway Company was COM
PEELED to suspend one-third of their force
and reduce the time Of the rema. nder-
L. CIV
Old Dominion Iron and Nail Works were
contending with their men who We're on
d strike caused by a reduction 4 wages
Ttlis is not intended as any reflection on
the above enterprises, for they were COM
PEELED to such measures by the depressed
condition of business. This was during
President Harrison's administration. who
was certainly elected by the Republicans.
Many such instances Of depress on can be
cted: for did not President Cleveland. IN
his first act. call an extra session OF
Congress to repeal Republican law which
all agreed caused much dull times.
God has made light and shadows, night
and day. sunshine and ram, as well as
man, whom he did not endow with the
power to control finance, SO that they
could prevent depression or cause pros
perity at all tines
The representation OF the city in the
Democratic Conventions for the next
OF votes, cast in this election. And 1t Is
well known fact that the convention
choose the men who will occupy the OIL
cal position.
If you believe in an American republic.
and not an empire: if You believe in the
right of cornpetit on and the opportunities
TO compete: if you believe in free citi-
2ens and not subjects: If you believe in
an honest and economical government; if
You believe in the Declaration Of indie
pendence and the Constitution Of the
United States-then vote for the Demo-
cratic Presidential electors and Captain
john Lamb for Congress.
