issues. Our opponents are working With extraor-
binary energy, fer this purposs-to secure the

the Local County tick ct throughout the State, than

State except by working true to the Republican or
ganisaton. If In any county IL has made mis- takes

We beg the editors who may receive this cir
cuiar to warn the Republicans against this pro-
posed trick Of trading votes against our nominees
for the Legislature.
The second point to which We direct your special
attention ID THE DISTRIBUTION, by safe hands, Of
curately printed ballots, to each voting precinct.
Those ballots should embrace all our State, Lsgs-
latve and County officers, on one ticket with space
below for filing in the names Of the several town
ship officers. The Chairman Of the County Com.
mittee In each county should personally attend to
procuring and disr buting correct tickets. Do not

The third urgent request of this committee H.
that special arrangement be made, with certainty
Of execution, in each precinct to get out every Re-
play again in 1885, the real Republican strength
Of Iowa. A comparison Of the vote OF 1855 and
1883 in the following counties, Alsmakes, Buchan-
an, Dallas, Delaware, Hardin, Henry, jackson,
Jasper, Jones, Keokuk, Linn, MAhaska, Monroe,
Pottawattamie, Wapello and w Washington, shows
that full strength was not outin these counties
at the last election. The County Committee and
candidates in each Of these counties ought at once
| to take measures to prevent such deficiency ~
this election. Systematic organizations, and that
only, win accomplish 1t. strenuous effort il be-
ing made by our opponents to bring out every Dem
ocrat-an effort surprising any other for several
years past. One vote at single precinct has once
| sent Democratic Senator from Ohio TO Congress
and another from Indiana. Iowa must not be
adlcd to that list. Will you see TO this in your
county,
| information has been given to the committee
that organized arrangements have been made in
Illinois and Missouri, and perhaps in Nebraska, ia
throw hundreds Of voters into the border counties
and doubtful districts Of this State at the next
election. In counties canvasscd rs suggested in
our Circular No. z, you will have very certain
| means Of defense against the fraud. Ii may not
be too late to this register Of voters il
tue majority in your county is small, be assured
that this "b uelodge" immigration will be directed
there. IL the voter WAS not resident Of YOU

Look we'll TO there outposts, and have them guard
ed. Be assured that the fraudulent schemes Of LIE
compton Democracy are afoat. few votes neg
iecttd by the Republicans or fraudulently import
cd by the Democrats each county, are sufficient
Of State 6overnms mt and Of future represen
in Congress.
Meet the activity Of your opponents with supe
rior activity and energy, ana the result will be
triumph OF which we In Iowa may be proud, anl
which will stimulate the hopes Of Republican,
throughout the Union.
