The radicals are resorting TO every ina
ginable device to distract our party on the
day of the election, hoping If they can ere
ate dissentions in our ranks, TO secure some
portion Of their ticket A most villainous
trick, we understand, is going TO be resor-
ted TO by them on the day of the election
to secure votes for M Farlane. They have
prepared petitions TO the Legislature asking
he repeal Of the LalC library which they
are going to have kept at the voting place
next Tuesday and which democrats and
radicals are both to be asked to sign, hop
ing by the excitemenE and discussion
which viii there be evoked to secure some
odd votes for their candidate. Let demo-
Gratis beware of this trick, and have moth
ing TO do with il.

base their requests to the Democrats are
various to one they appeal on the ground
that the candidate for whom they ask his

radical candidate is good fellow, and
does not expect to be elected, but would
