Do you want ali Irish police force in Chica-
yo-such an ono as would come into power If
the Democratic ticke: wero elected?
Do you want such Il condition Of things US
once was witnessed in Chicago, when no Re-
publican meeting was safe from interruption
when no Republican German could vote tic
ticket Of his choice-when tho Irish, If not
aided, at least permitted, by the police, were
accustomed to take possession Of the polls
regularly ct O'Clock in the afternoon, drive or
der|y citizens away from the vicinity, and con-
Time voting until they had secured tho mnjor-
ity marked down on tho slate at the Demo-
cratic headquarters in any row Or con-
test in tue Street or elsewhere, in which a
Hihernian was a party, the police all became
his hackers, no matter what tho merits Of the
case-when no man who is not accustomed to
say Latin prayers, 50 once year to con-
fession and vote the Democratic ticket early
and often at each election, had the ghost OF
chance rs i laborer in tho street, for place
on the police force, for contract on the pub
lie works, for fair play in plug muss, or for n
peaceable vote at tho polls7
Do you want to see these times brought
back? Do you wnnt to SEQ the blood run
again at the Seventh Ward poll OF any other
poll?
Do you want the re-inauguration Of that
condition Of ahairs that made Know Moth
ingism excusable, and that gave it such a foot
hold III our city?
When the Presidential election comes on in
zSovcsnprs, DO you want the cards stocked as
far as Chicago Is concerned, before the game
begins-an extra Irish police force Of 500 to
500 men sworn i'll TO not only keep Republi-
can soters away from the polls, but to give all
illegal voters a chance?
mol MOI! No!!l If then you have only
Jour personal comfort and personal safety, the
security Of your PROPERTY, and the peace and
quiet Of the city in view,-so. leave your pre-
judices at home, and vote the Republican
ticket! There is one way in which the conse-
quences Of Democratic victory can be avoid
