We can compare things when we see
them side by side. We want every le-
gal voter who reads our paper to calmly
compare the two documents which we set
in type tide by side above. Those doc
uments are not Of our making They
are the deliberate utterances of two men
who OCCUPY representative positions
They set forth two lines of policy, the
one or the other of which the American
people must choose to follow in Novem-
Der next. And the vital question with
each voter will be to which policy he will
give the weight of hisvote and influence
There never was time when men had a
better opportunity to decide without ref
erence to party bias what policy,th ey.wish
inaugurated in this government than
now. With sll thinking men mere par
ty lines are demolished. General Grant
the author Of one of the above manifestos,
is an old Democrat though running on
the Republican ticket. General Blair is
an old radical Republican though run
ming on the Republican ticket So the
question is not whether a man will have
a Democrat or Republican elected to
Office but which Of the two policies above
set forth he will prefer. Look at it
the choice is peace or war. Harmony
between all branches Of the Government
or discord and perpetual strife.
We are to elect an executive officers
Has any candidate since the foundation

and statesmanlike utterance than Genera

ance that every good citizen wants, tina

this is the position of the executive off
GERS of the government. Who else cal
execute them? Who is in position t
do it Is tie not truce to all strifi
between President and Congress or any
body else except the, breakers of law whel
the executive officer declares that he re-
CARDS his Office as simply administrative
and executive? On the contrary what an
archy and ruin is not hid under the CLAIM
OF General Blair, that the President shall
not only set himself up against Congress
but shall usurp to himself the preroga
tives of the Supreme Court by declaring
that the acts Of Congress are null ant
void But We haNe not the space II
make further comparison. We want any
one who is in doubt how he shall vote al
the coming election to cut out the above
programme, and without any party pre-
JUDGE, study them to see which hethinks
makes most for peace and prosperity.
