THE REAL ISSUE.
BUT. Notwithstanding the satisfactory
nd efficient records that have been made
y these officials during the last four
ears. the people of Missouri are asked in
his campaign to restore the conduct of
tate affairs to that faction OF the Demo-
ratio party which was driven from power

Our confidence and approval. there Is
reason and consideration Of good
citizenship why you should not restore to

rol or the Democratic party. From 1873
