Let it not be thought by any of us
Republicans, that because everything
promises fair for success next Tues
day, there may be the slightest re-
Taxation of our vigilance or our eff.
forts, to prevent fraud and poll a
heavy vote. Let every one who
reads this impress upon his own mind
and the minds of others the imports
ance of doing all that can be done,
especially of going to the polls IN the
forenoon, be it far or near, stormy or
fair. Let no one say to himself,
Grant is bound to be elected any

Where they can affect anything by
getting up split tickets, putting on
a false heading or other counterfeit
device, by exciting local preiudices
on personal matters, town rivalries,
railroad schemes, or other irrelevant
matters, you may depend on it there
will be some sharp game played.
There is however one remedy al
ways safe and honest; it is for every
Republican to do his part, to 90 to
the polls early, watch the progress
of affairs, do what he can to expose
and defeat such corrupt dealings. and
look out for the correctness of the
ballots deposited by his less acute
neighbors. 1t would be very imbe-
