With all the special effort made for Mr.

but 40 votes ahead of Mr. Ranney How

it will ever be, and those who are wise, will

never in the future enter upon such an impo

Mr.. Garfield, and MIR. Siedm d, we're, also

We have perhaps said enough. and wha
we have said, We have felt compelled to sa,
from sense of duty, and We have said it more
in sorrow than in anger. But we wish to be
INDUCED in few further reflections
From the facts before us. let all be admon
ished ard warned never again to be self deceiv
ed. nor ever again Try to deceive others hui
let each be true to himself, true TO his cause
true TO his principles, and true 10 the friends
of his principles.
Silently scratch a name if you must, but

political philosophy, and patriotic sell denial
to overcome personal dislikes, and vote the
entire. nnscratched ticket.
Set not up your will against the viii of ar
entire party. Never attempt TO use party te
wreak your personal revenge upon a candi
date. If you do, you will signaIly fail. The
party ia interested in its candidates, and vii
sustain them, even if it crushes you in so
doing.
Those Republicans who have this year en-
tered into combinations against Republican
candidates. have Injured themselves more than
they have eur candidates, and have brought
upon themselves the displeasure of the party
They are not looked upon, they cannot be
with the same cordality AMI confidence, as
they are who have done straight and fair work
An open. undisguised opponent can be re
spected Disguised, underplotting, spurious
ticket peddler-never.
In the future, we advise all who wish to
attack our ticket, or any portion of it, to go
openly over to the enemy. 1t will be far more
respectable. Make no pretense to principles
to which, for slight. or mere personal consid
erations. you are willing TO turn traitor
We ask true and earnest Republicans to
make no childs play of this matter in the fu
ture. Regard the secret ticket splitter who
in Disguise, is working with our opponents
against any of our candidates, as political
enemy all through, and 10 all intents and pur
poses.
Let the integrity Of our organization be
maintained against all opposition.
By the disorganizing tendencies Of three
successive years, let true Republicans be fore
warned and resolutely close up the column.
Trust no more to sore heads, and disorgan
izing croakers make no compromises to con
ciIiate them. Be not deceived.
We speak decidedly in rehuke, and earnestly
in advice and warning. We believe the in
tegrity and health of the Republican party
demand ont.spoken utterances, hence we take
the responsibility of this utterance, and we
appeal to every sincere true and consistent
Republican for his sanction to the justness o.
these remarks. sa
Our final utterance is-FoRGIvE THE PAST
BUT SHOW NO QUARTER IN THE FUTURE
