applied to those in the great Central
States, it will be amply sufficient u
determine the result OF the Presiden
tial election In advance. There are
five cities III Ohio that come under
the operations OF the law, viz: Gin
clnnati, Cleveland Columbus, Toledo,
and Dayton. The law was invented
to override the majority of the Amer
lean people and maintain in power the
present Administration. 1t remains
to be seen how it will he operated. and
under what Iretenses Grants bLyonets
will throw out enough totes to re-elect
