THE ELECTION.

that there is no human probability but
that Grant and Wilson will be elected
President and Vics President. But it is
not enoGs h that they should be elected.
They should be elected by such an over
whelming majority that there will never
be such another effort made as has been
and is now being made to defeat the re-
election of President Grant. A conven-
ton was called at Cincinnati in favor of
Free Trade which, under the forcible ar.
gument and with the watch word, ANY,
thing to beat Grant, resulted in the nom
ination of q High Protective man for
President. The Democratic convention
at Baltimore, ignoring for the time being
the Democratic principle of Free Trade,
adopted the Cincinnati platform and nom
mated the Cincinnati candidates. The
Great Democratic party became so liberal
that the convention and large majority
of the party adopted the Liberal Repub-
lean platform, candidates and watchword
Anything to beat Grant--without g
why or a wherefore. And as, "Anything
to beat Grant" meant with both parties
the surrender of principles if they had
any principles, the ignoring of truth, and
the invention and iteration and rCitera-
ton of lies, they have waged campaign
Of lies such as never before has been
waged. And SO emphatically has it been
campaign of lies on the part Of the
Liberal and Democratic parties that it
may now justly be called, and always
hereafter be known, as the Liberal Dem
ocratic Campaign Of Lies. And there
should and we trust will be such an over
whelm;rg majority in favor of Grant and
Wilson that no party will ever again at :
tempt to carry the election by surrender
ing principle, ignoring truth, and waging
Campaign of Lies.
Wisconsin is Just about as certain to 90
for Grant and Wilson as Grant ard Will
son are to be elected. But IT is not
enough that Wisconsin should go for
Grant and Wilson. This noble State
should and will do her part in the oyer
whelming defeat awaiting the cohorts of
all the Liberal Democracy so literally en-
gagged with the Liberal Democratic watch
word, Anything to beat Grant, in the
Liberal Democratic Campaign Of Lies.
Hon. Charles G. Wilson Republican can
didate for Representative, will surely be
elected. But it is not enough that he
should be elected The first Congressional
District should roll up a majority by SO
many thousand as to leave no doubt of
her doing her full part in the overwhelm-
CT in this state.
Kenosha County will elect the Republi-
can andida' notwithstanding thedesper
ate and INSCRIPTIONS efforts being made
by the Liberal Democracy. But t. make
certainty doubly sure, work becomes
necessary. The so called Liberal Repub-
lican movement was at first looked upon
with faver by some honest Republicans in
this county, and few went so far as TO
commit themselves to the support of
Greeley before knowing the game that
WIS being played to beat Grant. Some
Of these have become convinced Of their
error and will vote for Grant and Wilson.
And it is not yet too late for others to be-
come convinced of their=error and vote
sor Grant and Wilson. And there are
honest Democrats in this county who are
disguised with the surrender of the De-
mocracy to the Liberal Republicans and
their engagement with them in the sup
port of their candidates and in their Cam
paign of Lies against Grant and Wilson
And there are some of these who have not
yet determined for whom they will vote.
With little more knowledge Of Repub-
lican principles and of the Republican
candidates and some of them will vote
for the Republican candidates. Work is
necessary with honest Liberal Republi
cans and with honest Democrats. And
work is emphaticalIy necessary to bring
out the full Republican vote. With full
vote all is WELL but the Republican party
Of this county has no votes to spare.
None to spare to make the election OF all
the Republican candidates certainty
All the combined forces Of the opposition
