ness Office.
Indeed, you are also wrong when
you say there is nothing to encourage
the voting of the democratic ticket
There is the very declaration against
the church crimes which you were SO
anxious for some months ago, and
there is the record of three previous
democratic administrations under
which the state advanced far ahead of
any other six years of its history and
during which it wiped out S4OO, 900
of republican Indebtedness and fat
tened the state up in good fix for a
republican feast and $3.50, 900 SUI
gar bounty. Don't alarm about dem
ocratic disruption. Because a few
sordid souls sulk and attempt to
scuttle the ship whenever the politi-
cal friends within the party from
whom they expect aims are not
named for the offices, it does not
mean that the old wagon has broken
its coupling pole entirely.
Just wait and give the voters a
chance to express themselves. The
voters know what the democrats will
do If they succeed-they will do
just as they did from 1896 to 1902
under Steuneh berg and Hunt. AL
though the voters we're misled by the
campaign of mud of two years ago,
hey know that the democrats have
never been unfaithful to a trust in
his state.
