4 Word to the Frccmcu Of Chicago.
Since this rebellion broke out, Illinois
| troops have bernc the brunt Of many i hard
| fought battle, and have crowned the State
| arms with victory, and clothed her name with
| imperishab1c 1ustrc. To-day, the feemen OF
| Chicago must fight the bloodlcss but no less
| important battle Of the ballot bog, and deter
| mine whether our gallant boys IN the field
shall be encouraged, whether the Administra-
ton shall be sustained in its efforts to crush
lle rebellion, and the Government maintain
ed integral and harmonious in all its parts.
There arc two tickets in the field. Mr, BRYAN
heads the one, advocating the support of the
Government. Hove in Sherman heads the
other, which refuses to support the Govern
ment. If the latter sha!l be successful It
helps on the dag when the money We have
spent will have been for nought; the lives
which hare been she'd will have been shed for
nought' the North will hare to pay all the
expenses OF the war; dishonorable CON-
promise will be made and q di5graceful peace
will follow, which will only Be based on the dis
solution Of the Uhion. Else why is It that
every secessionist, every disloyal man in this
city is working for tAe..Shermaa ticket TIE
dJy any person to point toa single man c,xr
sn:pecttd tf diszoyaHy even, who will rotc the
Republican Union ticket.
Voters Of Chicago! What Is yonr duty in
view Of these facts?
Devote the whole efthis day to your coun-
try. Let your business 60, let everything 70
and work earnestly, nightly and without ces-
s2tiCn, until sunset. Commence the davis
work by voting yourself, and then sec to it
that your nciglbors vote. Bring ont every
vote in your neighborAood, and do no: rest
satisfied until you hare accomplished it.
Above I'll things remember that your sons
and brothers are eagerly, anxiously, painfully
| waiting to-day for the result which shall gire
| them fresh courage and nerve their arms for
fresh deeds Of valor, By supporting the admin
istratlon; or shall palsy tleir arms By refusing
support to that Government for which they
arc fighting.
| Remember that the Administration Is look
ing TO You for support; that our bleeding
| country calls upon you in this hour Of pcrii
not to abandon her.
Remember that the fate Of the Republic may
| hinge upon your action to-day. Look tho
crisis in the face and act nlanfully.
Remember that jeff. Davis and his rebel
crew will hail with delight the SUCCESS Of the
Democratic ticket. The rebel papers 40 pro.
| claim it.
| Now, freemcn OF Chicago, be up and doing.
Go forth determined to win. Work, work,
work, with your sleeyesro up. Relax not
4 moaent until the polls close.

Frazer rs. O'11ara.
In its notice Of the Copperlead ticket, the
Journal says:
Dan. O'Hara is the only war Democrat on
| their ticket, and he ii in very bad company.
All the rest arc tiEged with CoppcrlfeaIism
| Vote them down.
THIS is a trcacherous stab at the Union can
didate, ". s. Frazer, whe is ORG OF the wor-
| thicst and best young men in tie city: There
Is no more active, hard Forkiug. 81. better in-
formed Onion man in Chicago than this same
! FEazer. He is entitled to the vote Of every
Union man, rs much SO as any candidate on
| our ticket.
Dan. O'Uara is, personally. very clever
Irishman, and an honorable man, but he is IN
exceedingly active partisan Of the Times
school Of politics. Hc las no more claims to
be ranked as "War Democrat than Frank
Sherman, Van Burcn, Adams, or any other
candidate on the Copperhead ticket. That is
the simple truth about the matter. We re-
| peat that Walter 8. Frazer is fully entitled to
receive the vote Of every Union -elector in
Chicago.
Neglect everything 10 vote today !;
