The Gane of Rrag.

Does anybody remember an cleo
ton, within the last ten years, in
which the Democracy didn't adopt
the game of brag? It is a part Of
their tactics, to raise a great hula
baloo, just previous to an election, for
the purpose of creating the impress
sion that they are stronger than they
really are. They hope to intimidate
and discourage the Republicans to
such an exte2t that they will not
make any great exeruon. The game
has been tried so often and failed
that we don't think it will have much
effect to-day. Republicans under
stand their strength, and they will not
yield any ground. The party is too
largely composed Of veteran Union
soldiers, accustomed to the rebel yell,
to be scared at the hubbub raised by
the Confederate Democracy. aa~
We say to the Union men that if
they will stand true to- day, and work
with zeal and determination, victory
will be theirs, as it has been in the
past. Let there be no shrinking or.
Sinking. IF every Republican does
his duty we will BE- made to rejoice
over one Of the most glorious tri-
umphs ever achieved by any party. :

An AusplciOus Anniversary.

Six years ago yesterday, on the fields
of Shiloh, was commenced one Of the
bloodiest and most stoutly contested
battles of the war. The frst onset of
the enemy upon the Union ranks was
fierce and apparently irresistible;
steadily was the loyal army driven
back step by step, and when the sun
went down, the traitor hosts were ex-
ulting in what they thought was a
complete victory. But six years ago,
this morning at break of day, the in
trepid soldiers of the Union, with
resolute will, went forth again to meet
the exulting foe. And right nobly
and heroically did they do their duty.
Before that day sun had set the rebel
horde was vanquished and driven
completely from the field. I
So will it be to-day. The Boosting
and braggart enemy who have been
making the past two or three
nights hideous with their drunken
orgies, will find the Union men of
Evansville, whose defeat they have SO
confidently prophssied, at their posts
this morning, in solid rank and pre-
pared for the days battle And when
the days work Is over aud the polls
are closed, the sun wiilago down upon
a sccond Shiloh of victory for the
friends Of the Union, Of freedom, and
of progress.

Connecflcnt ELECTION.

The City of Evansville is not the
only important point at which an elec-

of Connecticut holds its annual cleo
ton, at which Governor anu other
State officers will be chosen. The
canvass there has been spirited and
exciting. Both parties have been
represented by their abIest orators,
aud everything seems to have been
done to secure success. Last year
the vote stood by counties as follows:

The LAST Word.

The citizens oS townsville, to day
choose their chief Executive officer
for the ensuing three years. The can
vass preceding the election has been
comparatively short, but sufficiently
energetic to make the people entirely
familiar with the merits of the can
didates on both Of the tickets. They
have been made acquainted with the
manner in which Mr.. WALKER, the
Democratic candidate for Mayor, dis
charged his duties while acting as
Auditor of the County, and from the
manner in which he discharged the
duties Of that Office, may estimate his
fitness for the position to which be
now aspires. On the other hand
Mayor BAKER has had to submit
to steady fire of inuendoes,
insinuations aud scandalous fabri-
cations, without a single tangi-
bic fact being produced, in
the slightest duplicating either his
ability or integrity. The people are
familiar with his administration. It
is fresh in their minds. On every
hand they see monuments of his
energy, financial skill and sound iudg-
ment. The people may refuse to re-
elect him. Aristides the just, was
banished by the Athenians simply be-
cause they disliked to hear him spoken
of in terms of praise. But the poo.
pie Of Athens lived to regret the day
when they banished their best citizen
So we predict that the people of
Evansville viii lament the day in
which they dismissed so faithful a
. servant as Mayor BAKER, should they
DO so foolish a thing
Il cannot have escaped the obser-
walton Of thinking men, that the most
enthusiastic supporters of WILLIAM
II. WALKER are men not identified
with tie interests of our city in any
respect They compose floating
population that has no abiding place.

enough residents IF the cry to get
/ their names either on the Registry Isis
or the tax duplicate. Scores Of them
were beseiging the Collector office
on Saturday, not for the purpose Of
7 pay ing taxes, but to get certificates
that no taxes were charged against
them on the Duplicate. They viii
swear, when called upon, as most of
them will be- that they have been
residents of the city for six
months, and yet have always
managed to dodge the Assessor.
Mr.. WALKER was overheard
Boosting, on Saturday, that he
would get over two hundred votes of
this character. We do not- believe
the story. We are confident, if his
boast be good, that perjury will BE
committed to such an extent as-tO

hitting it to- the penitentiary. The
Union men are active-and vigilant.
They have prepared themselves with
books and papers by which they will
be able to secure the punishment-of
those who forswear themselves.
We think the business men of the
city-those who look to the extension
of our railroad interests to secure
them additional trade and wealth
are satisfied that Mayor sBAKBRs re-
election-is a necessity at this critical
period of our city's history. The
point is are they sufficiently interested
in the matter to make any exertion to
secure his election VIII they spare

voters togo to the polls and vote for
