"If you want money, borrow Of our
friend, Judge Thurman"
"If you want advice, ask our friend,
Judge Thurman.
"1f you want anything, call on our
friend, Judge Thurman.
While Thurman, far from the smell of
powder, was rolling In luxury and rolling
his pets in luxury, where was General
Hayes? History answers" Calamity
facing the rebel rain Of grape and can
mister, with his life i'm his hand and his
soul in the work, struggling to reach
some eAndersonvllle, Salisbury, Belle Isle
or Libby, to lead our ghastly, famishing
loyal boys past the ever-varying "dead
line" to where
Beneath the starry flag they could breathe the
OF the free land in our own beloved home"
Boys in blue! which shall be your Gov
ernor?
Soldiers soldiers fathers, brothers sons
or friends will you vote for Thurman and
ever raise your heads in loyal company
Well says Governor Tod, "God forbid
that ever a loyal soldier should find in
high authority at the capital such enc
mics of their country and of them as

But, my friends, those who knew and
voted for Vallandigham will know and
vote for Thurman. Those who voted for
a traitor ignOrantly, are past being en-
! lightened on any subject. We can now

! We can now count their next vote even

alive and should be their next candidate.
! Their vote forState te officers has been sim
| gularly the same since 1861, when Tod
beat Jewett s., 600; since then ithas been
once a trifie above, and twice trifie be-
low Vallandigham's vote, 1S7, 7,000 with
no greater increase than by about half
the new voters, in their own families,
while our vote has gone4 900 Under them
and 101 ,009 over them. In lS62-3-4-5 j
their vote in thousands stood 1S4-187-lS3-
1S9; ours for the same officers were 17S-
2SS- -236- 22S; while their stereotype vote
varied but a tritie, Ours varied 10000 in
the four years.
| Beaten in 1852, we were aroused from
our sleep and alarmed. They were en-

but by what we had not done, and in
their excess of joy dared to bring out
their full blooded, simon-pure embodi.

it if we like. What shall we do? Shall
we increase our majority one vote so as
to make a number easily remembered
101, 100? Thurman deserves it, and we
can do il if we choose. Will not the
fight between Buckeye Sheridan and
"Old Funeral Swing Round" wake us uI
to give our whole vote? They are fixed
Our opponents are joined to their idols
let them alone. Our business is to wake
up our own slumbering hosts or we may
find ourselves slaughtered as in 1862; o.
