FALsEuOODs Of THE REPUB-
LiCANS.
The Last Infamous Forgery.

The Cadiz Republican, managed by
Bingham and his henchnrp, has resOrted
to the most bare-faced AVID meanest false
hoods in this campaign Last week we ex-
posed the trick oi Bingham on the eve of
the election about fraudulent tickets. The
RspuLicuR, last week, says that four rep
utable men say that they saw such tickets.
All We haze to SAY to that, is, that his four
men tell what is not true We would ven
ture our existence itself that no such ticket
was printed, ercept il was done at the Re
publican Office but we do not Lelieye it was
even done there.
This week, the Republican, devotes nearly
a column of Indignation at the speech of
that patriot soldier, Gen. Frank p. Blair,
at St Louis. In order to give foundation
to the editorial, the Republican commits
forgery, by mutilation and putting other
words in Gen Blair's mouth than those he
uttered. Here is the pretended extract
which the Republican quotes:
1.-The point TO which | desire to bring
you is this: That in this struggle We have
everything at stake; that it is the final and
last struggle FIR the preservation of free,
constitutional government in America; that
If we fall in it the Republic fails with us
1t becomes mere appendage of the mill
tary chieftain. who is lifted to power in the
name Of the President. bW ,cho ,nV nere,
ledre the Presidential mansion Glire. Sem
sation, followed by applause. "
Now here is what General Blair really
said 1t is taken from the rerLatia, report
of his speech. on the occasion alluded to-
in the St. Louis Republican, Read it
honest men and then tell us what 20,
think of the Republican. HIRE is wha
the General said;
1.-THE point to which I desire to brns
you is this that in this struggle we have
everything at stake; that it is the final anc
last struggle for the preservation OF fre'
constitutional government in America; tina
if we fail in it the Republic falls with us. =

against him personally; have no intention
Of deroeating from his great merits as
soldier, and have no desire to tarni>h an,
of the laurels which he won in the service
that he gave the country during the lat
war. But have just as little design o
surrendering absolute power into the hand
of any man. no matter how illustrious h
may have made fis name in this great war.
Gen. Blair declared that if the Radicals
succeeded, they would convert the Govern
ment into military despotism, to be rulr(
by Gen. Grant as long as he lives. fh
Republican changes its meaning-alters it
phraseology into threat OF assassination o
Gen. Grant. Such is the base man er IL
which Bingham's mouth piece and tn
Radicals carry on the present Presidential
struggle. They carry it on by forgery ant
fraud Hundreds of the readers ofthe Re
publican will see this slanderous forgery
not observe the exposure, and honestl
believe it to be true 1t is by such rascalit
and villany that prejudice and passion
kept up among the oadi Gals.
Araunt! We would rather fail in ever
contest than triumph by such means.
Such bare-faced frauds and .falsehood
will, we hope, open tht eyes of many hor
est Republicans, and lead them to vot
t with the party Of principle-the witt
