ARE YOU RRADYt

the contest deyoyes on you. The rout of the Flu
siouists in Pennsylvania and the Free West is go
utter that they have not loop left to hang doubt
upon except NEW YORK and New JERSEY. If
they triumph here, they defeat any election
of President, and throw the election into
Congress, which makes either Breckenridge
or Lane our next President, after four months
more of excitement, panic, confusion, and turmoil.
If they are beaten here Lincoln is President, and
the day of the panic-makers is over. They are
struggl ng desperately to beat Lincoln if possible,
or to cripple him in Congress if Presidential tri-
umph prove beyond their strength. And they are
spending more money and making more desperate
exertons than ever party made before. They have
Allied cur City Registries with Thousands of names
which have no legal voters behind them; they are
now bent on rushing the polls so as to repeat their
Kckapoo frauds in Kansas They have the Com
mon Council, and that Council is required by law
to divide every Election District in which there are
more than Five Hundred voters; yet in one Dis
trict they have registered Nineteen Hundred names
And row they have called on their Sheriff to employ
and Fay an unlimited humber of deputies to back
I'D their game Of double voting and general fraud
DAYS ago, leading Democratic operator of Wash
ington City informed q friend that "There was
L" game afoot in New-Yotk City that would beat
"Lincoln yet" That game is fraudulent voting,
and they mean to back it BY an imposing display
Of physical force. Shall the voice ofAhe People be
defeated by such means1
Thel Republicans desire that every legal voter
shall vote once, bOuo more than once, and none
but legal voters at ell. That is our whole pro-
pramme; and if carried out, the Fusionists cannot
90 out of the City 10000 ahead. All they get
beyond that number will be clean robbery, and
they know it as well as we do. Fraud is their
last card, and they will play it with reckless
desperation.
Be READY, then, Republicans! Scrutnize the
poll-lists of your several DstrstS rigidly, take
copies of them, and watch for and challenge the
name of every one who is not legal voter there.
Do this, TO-DAY at all events have it thoroughly
done before the morning of Election.
Be ready with fearless Challengers The Regis
tries are simply formal notice. that so many aud
in the respective Districts. Every one is subject
to challenge; and if any one votes illegally, the
Registry does not proteot-it only aids to detect
him. Take a copy of the list to your headquarters,
and call over the names man by man. If any one
knows why any one should be challenged, have
him marked on the List so plainly that the chal,
lengers will know at a glance when he presents
himself to vote. If be swears falsely arrest and
imprison him at once. Follow this course un-
Anchngly, and the "repeaters" will soon cool Of.
You will be troubled with few Of them after nine
O'Clock. They will still attempt to vote, but only
where our vigilance is relaxed. If we are all
faithful in the morning we shall keep out thousands
of illegal votes, yet have peaceful and pleasant
day.
Back up your Challengers No Republican
dare challenge the scores of State Prison conyicts,
who have registered at the Five Points, and
other haunts of vice, unless there are hundreds of
true men there to support him. His life would
not be safe if be did. There are not Six Hundred
legal voters in the Five Points District; yet, they
will give at least Six Hundred majority against us
there if our chalengers are not well backed. So
at the Hook, Thomas street, &c. Every den of
debauchery ard vice, is Fusion stronghold and
must be scrutinized accordingly.
Wide-Awakes young Republicans men who
mean 70 win this Election BEGIN THE WORK
TO-DAY Ifsll is left till next Tuesday, It will
then be too late. Scrutinize the Rtr,SIstnes, you
who know who live in every house, so as - mark
any bogus names, regstres against houseless los,
registres of thirty or forty persons where there is
not sleeping room for ten. Let not this night pass
until you KNOW that the chances for fraud in
your district are reduced to the lowest point.
Pass the word to other districts, and be sure that
all is as it should be. We stand in the Their
mopyla of this mOmentOus conflict, and must hold
the pass at whatever sacrifice. All the legal
majority against con easily be OyerbOrne in the
Rural Districts, but it must not be largely sweled
by fraud. Republicans Of the City and State
