We trust that we shall be able to record
Tomorrow . more than party vote for Col.
Curtis. We trust that local pride may do
something to swell his vote in this city,
There would be an accruing advantage that
member OF Congress should hail from ke-
okuk. Ii would be another item of import
ance added to the notoriety and reputation
OF thetown. Our local interests, uiso, would
be more sedulously looked after by resi-.
dent Of the city than by one who lives in an
other quarter. And keokuk has matters Of
importance to be looked after.
Col. Curtis has deep stake in the interest
Of keokuk. The success OF keokuk is his
success. lie has the capacity, the inteli-
gencc, and the experience necessary to serve
the interests Of the town advantageously.-

judgment is impartial, doubts but that his
success would be IN advantage to the town,

Al least We may expect and We do so with

sentiments accord with his. will be active and
dsligent. and employ all their personal nilu.

friends, and a special and earnest effort. will
be made to cas-, as large vote for him as
lies within their power.
Let every Republican see that the last vote
that it is possible to rally, be cas-. for Col
Curtis.
Let every keokuk man. without respec. OF
party, ask the question, whether himself and
this city Of ours has not great interest in
his success, and some claim Oh his vote and
