n@ As the present is the last chance
we shall have to say anything to the vo-
ters Of iowa County before election day, we
shall avail ourselves of the opportunity,
and call their attention to just one matter,
and that is this: Let the Union voters Of
the county see that every union elector is
at the polls and deposits his ballot The
questions at issue are generally understood
at least by the reading public and it is
nc use writing for the benefit of those who
do not read; and the only thing now to
be done isto organize, and get out a full
vote. The opposition know full well that
every voter they can command is needed,
and he will be at the polls; but Union
men, generally think there is no danger
but we can carry the state, therefore one
cote is not Of much consequence. Here is
precisely our danger, and the only way to
avert it, is to get out every Union voter in
our own County, and in our own town
attend to matters at homeland the people
may rest satisfied that the result, both in
this county and the state, will be all right.
