GOOD ENOUGH.
Mine Reasons Why Young Men Should Vote the Democratic Ticket. 1. Because the leaders of the Republican party in the campaign, of 1880 were composed of Star Route thieves, and received the money, knowing it to be stolen to buy poor men’s votes with. 2. Because every man who has stolen from the United States in the jjast twenty-five years is a Republican. 3. Because every man who cries down with a solid South is a stay-at-home Republican, and dare not face cannon in the hour of our country’s needs, but now cries out “Solid South.” 4. Because every man who fights the giving of a disabled soldier a pension is a Republican. 5. Because every mail who bought Government bonds when gold was worth $2.90, and voted ever since not to pay the soldier in the front the full value of his contract, but to pay him in a depreciated currency, is a Republican. 6. Because the man who assassinated President Garfield was a Republican—a “Stalwart of the Stalwarts.” 7. Because the man who would destroy the religion of our forefathers by denying there is a God is a leader of g. m. p. and a Republican. 8. Because the men who are supposed to be honorable and whose position is such as to inspire the people that a claim before them would be decided according to law and evidence, and who voted in every contested electoral vote in 1876, no difference what the evidence was, to seat his fraudulency, Hayes, as President, were Republicans. 9. Because every one who votes for protection is a Republican.—lndianapolis Sentinel.
