THE OUTLOOK IN oRMsBY COUNTY
A WORD TO THE VOTERS AT EN-.

Democrat ventured to make the be
that his party would poll two hundred
and sixty votes in Carson precinct. H.
had just come out, warm, from eau
Gus of the wire rullers of his party, ant
felt that confidence which is enjoyed
by those who have an implicit faith il
that old sxiom, " Figures never lie. ;
Now we shall never forget the aavic,
that we once heard an cid poker playe,
give to a young and inexperie
" short carGer" Said he the hes
way 20 beat blower is to take him a
his word" Now John Craycroft-i
was he who volunteered the advice
said something which contained a good
deal more truth than fancy in uttering
that bit Of easy going instruction and
although one should not forget his
judgem ent so far as to be stampeded by
purely sensational stories, yet it is we'll
enough before pronouncing what your
opponent says to be absurd, to weigh
it and analyze its meaning. 1t is easier
to say " l don't believe it ~ than to go
at work, patiently. to investigate the
doubtful matter.
Now while we DO not believe that
the Democrats will poll two hundred
ard sixty votes in this precint, yet We
do believe that they are working early
and late, night and morning, to get
out, and add tc, the strength Of their
party. We can n:upon onr fingers
a dozen, shrewd, active, Industrious
workers who are doing nothing else
bat attending to the business of getting
foreigners naturalized and voters regis
tered. They are working like beavers
and, procured from some source, are
using money with free hand. If they
don't get two hundred and sixty meu
mustered into their service it won't be
any fault CT their own.
We are not fighting against superior
numbers. If we do ourselves and our
party justice in the coming fight we
shall be able 10 meet the enemy in q
better state of equipment, with a
larger active, available force and with
the strengtbing purpose of the better
cause at our backs. But all these ad-
may be lost through supine-
ness and want of tact. Equally sagac-
ious generalship upon either side will
give US the victory.
The Democrats are making their
main fight for the Legislative ticket
We must, while not neglec,ing any of
the other parts of our lines, fortify
strengthen and defend this part of our
position. Ormsby County never has
sent a Corperhead to the Legislature-
let her be careful on this year, of all
others, that she does not soil her rec
ord by SO doing.
In connection with this matter of the
ticket We cannot avoid
making an allusioa which we wish
:ould be left unsaid. But when a man
Tho has held Office under the Union
'arty who has been trusted in its
ouncils ; who even now processes
Jnionism, is openly and by his own
declaration, working to compass the
efeat of one Of our Legislative nom
nees, il is high time to denounce him
nd warn all Union men against him
'akinE him at his own word, such Il man
