MUl> SLINGING.
. '__ ’ *
.It is certainly gratifying to
our order-1 oving people to
! believe that there will be no
mud slinging in this cam
1 paign. We cannot afford to
allow it, and he. who begins
* it, will be the greatest suf
ferer thereby. Lot OAery
candidate be considered a
gentleman and treated as
such, and let him treat his
opponent in the same man
ner. Another favorable in
dication in the campaign is
that there will no bull-doz
ing or intimidation at the
polls. Every man will vote
as he desires to do without
any fear of losing his job.
If there ever was a time when
employers had a right to ex
.pect employes to vote as they
did, and even to require
them to do so, that time has
gone by, and now, we are all,
free indeed, and will not
submit to being dominated,
" or even dictated to by any
body. A man may sell his
labor *nd his time, but he
does not sell his religion or
’his politics. The employee
may not see fit to vote with
his employer, and yet lie
may be just as good a man,
and both oe:pg in <be sain >
party, and voting for dif
ferent men of the same party,
where is the harm of each
one voting to suit himself.
It has been charged that
when tho negro should be
eliminated from politics the
poor white man would be
brought into political slav
ery. This cannot be. and
the great democratic party
must not bo charged with so
heinous a crime. The very
poorest white man is -as much
a sovereign, as the wealthiest
man. We are all free, and
no person can or shall influ
ence our vote by purchase,
or intimidation. Public sen
timent demands a fair and
free election, and an honest
count, and any deviation
■ * t
| from this order of thiugs,
'will bring disgrace to tho
party in power; and untold
trouble to any who engage in'
a contrary policy.
