A Coon SUGGESTION friend in Cleveland
writes to US that at previous Presidential Elec-
ton, when fraud and violence were anticipated
at the polls, the merchants, business men and
men OF property and of standing gave up busi-
ness for the day, suspended all active operations.
and attended al the polls in mass, The. result
was that those who contemplated fraud and vio-
lence were overawed. The presence of the
substantial men OF the community at the polls
operated asa complete check upon them and the
day passed off peaccably. He suggests that a
similar plan should be adopted next Tuesday,
and we second his suggestion. If the men up
on whom the welfare OF the city and its neigh
borhood depends will suspend business on Tues
day next, and give the friends Of Freedom and
order the ben fit of their countenance at the
polls, much illegal voting may be prevented and
all danger of violence be removed. We com
mend the matter TO their consideration. 49,.
