There are at least forty Counties in our State which
will give Republican Union m9jorties ranging from
handful Of votes each up to many thousands.
There are some twelve 10 fifteen Counties which will
give adverse majCrtics; with some half-doren that
may 90 either way by nconsiderabe maiorities.
The strength Of the Jobpsorized Democracy is
mainly concentrated in the cities and larger villages;
in the rural districts, the Republican peponderance
is general and overwhelming In other words, OF the
entire area Of the state, from threefourths to scyen
eghths are Republican.
Our voters have TINS much further to travel in the
average, than our opponents they live isola-
ted on farms. on new clearng- and in thny peoplcd
school districts, where the electric influence Of hourly
contact is wanting. Far more effort is required
our side than on the other to make each man realize
that bis individual vote is needed and must be polled.
Hcpce the urgent call for public meetings in every
township for organization and systematic, universal
effort . rsh
Last year, the current set strongly for rs, and we
carried the State by Thirty Thousand majority; yet
we did not poll so many votes by over Sixty Thousand
as we did the year before. To carry the State at all
this year VIC must poll at least Fifty thousand more
votes than we did last year.
We apprcbend that our friends in several Counties
are calculating that if they keep STILL the general vote
will be light, and our share Of it a. large though
it were fall. This will never do. We cannot, must
not trust to our opponents Indifference. The results
Of the September and October elections has rendered
them desperate They must carry New York. or admit
that they have no power in the loyal States We must
not countOn their polling less than Three Hundred and
Fifty Thousand votes.

to the very last vote, We have enough-we do not
need though we welcome, converts; we do need that
our Opn vote be poed; and as thoroughly in Queens
or Schohare as in Oneida or Erie.
For this then, We mainly hold meetings: to arouse
thoroughly our own people, stimulate the local com
mittees to do their whole duyto that all the le
gal voters with none others, registered and that
all who think with duly present at the polls
We ought to be sure, days before that of Election
that no inclemenoy of the weather, no badness Of
roads, will prevent the polling of our full vote.
The first business on hand in each election district
is scrutiny Of the new or newly revised official list
of legal voters. Is there any name thereon Of one
who never was or longer is legal voter in said
district (Bear in mind that it is now Crime to
cause the name Of one who is not legal voter OF the
district to be inscribed on its regsty.) Let every
name now standing Oh thes of one who is not there
legal voter be challenged and stricken off, let the
name Of each legal voter Of the district who is not
inscribed on the registry be aScortahed and let
the proper steps be taken TO insure his attendance,
with conclusive legal proof Of his right, before the
board on the final, only day Of Friday Nov.
Ist Remember that no can vote, whether in
city or country, whose name does not stand on the
register at the close Of that days sitting of the Board
Friends in each County and Election District! con-
