work of the campaign.

for bringing every influence possible to
convert the doubtful man. Get one or
two men to take charge of him, and quiet

the necessity for a change. Convert him
and vote him on our side if you can, and
If you cannot do so, then prevail on him
to stay at home. Where you find man

mention it to any one but continue your
work upon him. If you talk of it you will
probably lose him. Make copies of the
lists of Democrats, and then arrange to
bring out to the polls in October every
man upon it. The October election is
very important in its bearings on Noyem-
Der, and no pains must be spared to get

Seriously, has not party gotten pretty
low when Its executive officer comes down
to police tactics, and advises the shadow
ing" of all doubtful voters The spy
system has never been successful one in
our country. Fouche is a detested name
in America. The attempt to introduce
his ideas into a department of our Gov
ernment tumbled Rosecrans out of the
army, and any approach to it will ruin
any man in free country. Mr. Wal
laces detective exploits being harmless,
simply excite the contempt Of Pennsylva-
mia. Were they supposed to be at all dan
gerous, they would call forth hatred and
vengeance.
