bend, is still far from being compre-
hended by the general public.
San Juan is now held in joint mill

lean troops, the American fort being

the northern extremity of the island
The decision ofthe German Arbitra-

the island to Our exclusive jurisdic-

lates that "the award of the Emper-
or of Germany shall be absolutely
final and conclusive, and that fill ef
feet shall be given to such award
without any objection, evasion, ol

full and permanent possession.

Look Out For Fraud.


The Cincinnati Gazette of Tues
day last in a double-leaded article,
calls the attention of Republicans to
the fact that it has full information
in its possession that systematic
attempt will be made by the Greeley
managers to carry the election next
Tuesday by fraud. This organiza-
ton is widespread, and frauds will
be attempted in all the Western
States, but especially in Ohio, Indi-
ana. and Illinois. The conspirators
in Cincinnati include some members
of the Republican Executive Com
mittee of Hamilton County, who are
now, and were prior to the October
election, in confidential communica-
ton with Democratic managers. In
other words, Republican committee
men have been bribed to betray the
secrets of the organization with
which they are connected, and to as
sist in perpetrating frauds upon a
scale not hitherto attempted in this
State. These frauds are to be com
mitted, first, by repeating, ssand sec
ond, by tampering with the ballot
boxes. The Gazette goes on to say:
'sThe election laws in this State
are ample to guard the ballot boxes
and punish persons committing
frauds, but these laws amount to
nothing unless enforced, and they
will not be enforced unless Republic
ans organize strongly in every ward
and precinct. This is the first thing
of importance to be done, and care
must be taken in affecting these or
ganizations, to secure the services of
the citizens who may be depended
upon in any and all emergencies.
ave also warn our friends through
out Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois that
the organization Of which we write
is extensive, and that the money has
been procured to carry it out. It is
the more dangerous because it is
secret, and because care has been
taken to make it appear that Demo
Gratis have given up the contest. The
Central Committees of each State
should take steps Immediately to put
county organizations upon their
guard"
The fact of the existence of this
scheme is given upon 5Rformatton,
not upon hearssy, and the Gazette
promises at the proper time to "give
details of this conspiracy, which for
satisfactory reasons, are now with
held"
To be forewarned is to be fore
armed. Let Republicans every
where now see to it that this desper-
ate attempt to defeat the honest
voice of the people be frustrated.
The Republican party in Ohio can
not be defeated except by the most
gigantic fraud, and to counteract the
Vaccinations of these desperate and
unscrupulous intriguers, the friends
of Grant must watch the polls and
guard the ballot boxes until the
counting is completed. Let "Un-
ceasing vigilance" be the watchword
in the battle ofTuesday next.-COm.

THE HORSE D1srEMpHE

The fearful disease which is making such
havoc among the horses of Boston, Rochester
Buffalo, New York city and other places, ha,
called forth many suggestions as to its causes
and many remedies. To this time the distem.
per SENS to have baffled the veterinary sur.
geons at all points. Brevet Brigadeer Gene.
raj B. S. Roberts in a noteto Robert Bonner
gives what he considers the cause and the rem.
edy to be applied. He says, writing from
Springfield, Massachusetts, under date of the
23d instant:
ain the Spring of 1868 disease broke out
among my cavalry horses at Fort Sumner,
New Mexico, that appears to me identical
with that now raging among horses In our cit
les, and in a very few days became an epidem
ic.
At first it defied all treatment, and the great
majority of horses attacked by it died. On ex-
amining the throats OF the dead horses, I found
the lining membrane of the larnyx highly in
famed and tbickened, and thick mucus pus
filling it, causing suffocation. ordered all
horses, on the first appearance of the disease,
to be thoroughly rubbed between the lower
jaws and along the larnyx down the neck with
spirits of turpentine, causing a very severe ex-
ternal irritation and blister.
udN6 SdN6u AOAoO illus bEodJ6ug duO
in very few days entirely broke the distem-
per and checked the epidemic.
1 do not donbt that thousands of horses,
where this epidemic prevails, can be saved by
this treatment.
1t acts more quickly as a counter-irritant than
any other remedy l know, and relieves the fe-
yer of the membrane of the larynx in a few
hours. Besides, spirits of turpentine is always
at hand, and can be more readily applied than
other counter-irritant 1t should be thorough
ly rubbed in through the hair to the skin, for
a distance of some twelve to fifteen inches,
under the jaws and down the neck of the
horse Immediately over the neck of the larynx.
The remedy is severe, and makes the skin sore
for several weeks, and for an hour causes great
suffering to the horse.
But it acts promptly and effectively, and in
my judgment it will be found the best and
perhaps the only cure for this fatal malady,
causing much suffering and loss among horses
throughout the country"
This is certainly simple treatment, and it
will be well for our readers to preserve this
note in case they should have occasion to treat
their horses for the disease now so prevalent.

A VOTE FOR Horace Greeley is q
vote for the party of which he de.
clared "the heart and soul was the
rebel element of the South, and its
Northern allies" 1t means a restor-
ration of the rebel element to pow
er; it means the justification of such
outrages and murders as were inau-
gurated in Georgia, a few weeks ago,
where negroes and whites were alike
driven from the polls because they
wished to vote the Republican tick
ct; it means wholesale autrages upon
the ballot-box, as in Georgia It
means rebellion, and the symbol of
rebellion-the rebel flag, is used to
marchal the Greeley hosts, as in
Maryland and Mississippi. 1t means
financial disorder, business prostra-
tion, and all the ills, that follow in
their train.
A vote for Grant and Wilson
means the permanence Of a restored
government, the happiness of s unit
ed people, the prosperity of the ma
ton, continued reduction of the pub
lie debt and reduction OF taxation; il
means good government, equal rights,
security of life and property; it
means peace, plenty and safety to all
and for all,-obedience to law and
protection for the oppressed. Vote,
then, for Grant and Wilson, and Sc
cure the object of all desires-good
government.

REPUBLICANS be on your
guard against the wiles of the
enemy. They are secretly
at work; they are spreading
their circulars all over the
land in a quiet manner, and
they mean to make a desper-
ate effort to carry the State
if they have to use fraud to
do it. -Four years ago they
tried a desperate game, by
fraudulent naturalization pa
pers, to carry Congress, this
time they mean to use some
secret appliance in the hope
of carrying the State. In
various localities they are
holding secret, dark-lantern
meetings, and they are or
ganizing with desperation.
Be on the alert then, Repub-
licans; wake up, and every
man to his post of duty.

The Rriheru charra

If there was any foundation in
fact for the charges made against
the parties arraigned for attempted
bribery,-there would be some ef-
fort made to bring them 10 trial
speedily, but notwithstanding they
have demanded trial, and stand
ready to respond to their accusers,
the case has been placed at the tale
end of the docket, and will in all
probability not be reached this term.
If there was any disposition on the
part of the accused to avoid trial OF
postpone it, there might then be
some excuse for this course, but the
fact that they desire to have the tri-
al come of, in order that they may
be, able to establish their integrity,
is evidence of the trivial character of
the accusation, and that it is trump
ed up charge, designed for political
effect, and never intended % reach
trial. The citizens should treat this
attempt to assail the character of in
diUduals as it deserves to be-as 8
political gag-and let its effect re-
act upon those who would seek to
destroy the character of individuals,
because they are political opponents.

do You Realize 1tq

@~0~-@@-N
The State of New Kork is, per
haps, surer for Grant and Wilson
than is Ohio. You may think this
strange, in as much as we have but
recently carried Ohio by over a.
600, but therein is our danger, and
New York's security. New York
has not yet voted, and every voter
is alive to the importance of voting
and securing every vote possible,
and will do it. Here, having won a
great victory, there is danger of al
lowing a feeling of security to take
the place of active exertion. This
should not be so. Your opponents
are on the alert, and will take advan-
tage your fancied security. There
is nothing more dangerous than fan
cied security or over-confdence. It
leads to the neglect Of important
items, and leaves weak points ex-
posed. 1t should be carefully guar
ded against. There is no danger of
making our majority too large, but
rather that than risk being beaten
for want of the necessary exertion
to get out the vote. Next Tuesday
will determine the question and un-
til that time no Republican who de-
sires to see his party triumph and
thereby secure a continuance Of good
government, should cease his ever
tions. Get out the vote.

greeley on the "Home Stretch >

"We are on the home stretch, ''said
the New York Tribune of October
9th. Just so, says Tn. Mast in
Harper's Weekley, and I will show
you how it is. So, here goes Gree
lev, slung on his back on a stretcher
borne by Whitelaw Reid ahead and
the dignifed Fenton behind; Chap
paqua Station in the rear; the mourn
full procession just entering the late
Philosophers farm house gate, over
which leans the ambrosial Tilton
with hat off and white handkerchief
hopping his fearful face; the dignf
fed Schurz at Tilton's elbow, with
respectful sorrow, and the Chappa-
qua jack, and COW, and horse, and
pig, and goose, lining the passage
up to the desolate cottage! This is
Nast's picture of Greeley on the
Home Strech." But the sharpest
cut of all is the end Of Gratz Brown
in the affair. The card "Gratz
Brown" which has been pinned to
the tail of Greeley's coat all through
the campaign, has fallen of, and
a small boy has picked it up and
comes running up behind thestretch-
er cortege, believing with all his
might, "Hello, misters, you've drop
ped somethingy" These words are
not inscribed, but one can see them
plain enough issuing from the ur-
chin's wide-open mouth. The whole
design is one of Mr.. Nast's best, and
depicts, to the life, this most rare tu-
neral farce of Greeley on the "home
stretch I er) )."-LeGder.

THERE remain bat a few more
days for work before the 9TH of No
vember will be at hand. It is i'm
portant that there be no tagging, no
over-confdence, no feeling in our
ranks that Gen. Grant viii be elec-
ted anyhow, and that the October
verdicts have settled the question.
They have settled the matter if the
Republicans of the country come
up.in their might as they did in the
recent State elections. There should
be no falling off in our majorities
They can and will be increased enor-
mously if every friend of Gen. Grant
and good safe government will but
do his duty.

SUMNER does not intend to return

GOOD government and peace.

One of the tricks of the
Confederates is sending out
tickets headed "Republican"
and containing the names of
Democratic electors. This
is a foul plot and a crime, but
they do it, having determin-

untried that promises the
gain of single vote. Vote
no ticket until you have ex-

If the plain talk to the Kiows and Comanche
delegations by the Washington officials means
anything, the day of paltering and daIying
with the Indians is about over. They were dis
tinctly given to understand that the govern
ment expects them to signify their peaceable
intentions by remaining within the territory al
lotted to them; that wandering into distant
tracts of country will be considered a hostile
declaration in fact, and that stragglers and
small predatory bands will be treated with
summary justice. This, though tardy con-
fessinn to the rights OF white men, is exactly
what the people of the Territories most afiict-
cd by the red men have always contended for.
