Democratic Schemes.

The recent schemes and frauds
by officers Of the Democratic party
to deprive citizens their right OF
franchise and thereby benefit a
few Democrats who are seeking
minor offices, have brought such
disgrace upon the party that the
better element are ashamed OF the
faith they once held in the good old
party.
1t seems of late the Democratic
party has fallen into hands which
have no respect for their party. but
only wish to grab, as it were, at
every opportunity offered for SELF
gain.
BY such conduct the Republicans
are increasing in strength and
controlling the various offices
throughout the State. There are
many honest Democrats who would
not be guilty Of such conduct as
has been offered at the recent cleo
ton and registration and who have
turned their backs in disgust up
on the party they once upheld but
which they are now ashamed OF.
Many are voting the Republican
ticket and some have ceased to cast
any vote sooner than be disgraced
bv the so.called Democratic party.
1t is true many Republicans have
been deprived of their right to vote
at the coming election but the Re-
publican party will lose nothing
by the alleged frauds, for there will
be enough Democrats to vote the
Republican ticket on that account,
as will recompense the party man
fold, for why should any respecta-
bic citizen be included among the
ranks Of any such disgrace.
