Frye and Israel Washburn, Jr. 1t is said
the people took much pleasure in hearing Mr..
Frye explain and unravel the mixed up NOM
ination OF Cincinnati -Greeley's alliance with
the most prominent of the most terrible of
Tammany robbers. lie also informed the
people who these great political reformers of
the present time are why they left the republi-
can party and have gone crying reform-the
party which has kept their heads above water
as long as they had the appearance of being
decent or respectable even. The people in
this portion Of Mr.. Frye's district place full
confidence in his words. They have known
him from his boyhood. They have watched
closely and with pride his political career,
and now have the satisfaction of knowing
that he has always been found straight for
ward republican and true to the party's cause.
Whenes.er political trsdings or plotting, or

friend of his constituents he always has in
every public Office he has been honored with

Ex-Gov Wsshburn spent some time in an
able defence of the administration. The peo-

truest and safest that can be followed, and
when ever they are so fortunate as to have
him address them, and give them his advice
depend upon it it will be followed.
On the Goth Mr.. Frye addressed a large
evening meeting at Bretton's Mills in Old
Livermore, aud If applause ia any evidence,
he made one of the great speeches of the
campaign, truly so for this part ofthe State.
He is so earnest and has such confidence in
class of his hearers.
The republicans and democrats are not
"shaking fippers over the bloody gulch."
But the republicans every day almost are
shaking hands with (and welcoming to our
love bearing laborer for our nations life)
honest democrats-life long democrats--yes
some who were fierce democrats in opposing
the war, and as fierce as they were in oppos-
ing the war, equally are they in earnest now
in opposing our country's being severed
through the fundamentally of Horace Gree

now sleep in their honored graves with our
nations history for their tombstones. Can
you ask these fathers of Livermore to dis

ballot? Then ask them to vote for the man
who by his pen taught tina, this the grandest
nation of Gods creation, which those brave
sons protected and preserved, could rightfully
