For the Standard.

Mr. EnrPoR II see by the Standard of this date
that Gov. Vance is having his tickets printed on
yellow paper, n low contemplate trick, originated
no doubt by Spelman, McRse Co., and intended
only to Illustrate the intention OF the law, and
tramme in their votes those who are detailed or
exempt under the present State administration.
There are hundreds of honest, hard working poor
men, who are now working for the State, subject to
the control of Gov. Fanoe-thereby keeping out of
the army, and earning scant but honorable living
for their familieszYho NTH honest begrte md le5s
a your Course and pfnclpies, and
If left untramneled would vote for you r But Gov.
Vance is too keen to allow that He and "dirty
Spelman" know how to fix them; and now these
men will have to vote against their judgment and
wishes, or if Gov. Vance is reelected yield their
place to insufficient men, and go to the army, leav
ing their families to suffer at homo, or to use one
of Gov Yance's chaste expressions, "eat the grass
off their husbands graves But think, Mr. Hol
den, that your duty to those persons thus situa-
ted, and also to yourself demand that you should
give them a chance of voting as they please with
out the fear of punishment thereby doing justice
to worthy class of our citizens (the mechanics)
assisting the law in its purpose to allow every
man the privilege of voting close ticket and using
nothing but an honorable effort to counteract an
unfair use made by your opponents of his official
power, and promote your. own election.
Print quantity of tickets on the same colored
paper and ifyou are censured or condemned for il,
it will only be by the prejudiced, narrow-mlnded
friends of Gov. Vance, whose politics are all preju-
dice.
In conclusion allow me to say to those who be.
ing detailed by the State, are liable to be affected
by this spirit Of party prescription and oppression,
that is so plainly called into action by Gov. Vance
to control the present election that the best course
for them to pursue is to come to the polls boldly
and determinedly and vote for the true COnserva-
tive candidate, at all hazards.
1f-Vance is re elected, there will be introduced
reign Of oppression from which none but the De-
structve leaders and their sycophants will be Free
If Vance, after being elected by Conservatives
will prove the Destructive that he has shown him.
SELF what must we expect of him for the next two
years if elected by the Destructive party? These
are the sentiments Of one who will vote an
OPEN TICKET.
