TIME FOB ACTION,

Committee Of tho Citizens Union Ticket fail to
appreciate tho energetic labors Of thoir OPP
pononts, and nre depending too much upon tho
fact that they actually represent tho majority.
OF what avail Ia It, tint twenty men can outvoto
ton II flftoon Of tho twenty do not 60 to tho
polls7 This Committee and the public genor-
ally must understand what they havo to contond
with, aud NO now rocapit ulate somo Of tho op-
posing forces:
i. Tho 2,6D0 sa1oon-kcepors, each man battling
for his bread and toddy, and fighting against laws
which ho claims deprive him Of his rights.
2. Tho 800 other lfquor-doalors, who, to aid
their customers. tho saloon-kcopers, glvo largely
Of thbir own money md time.
8. The great bulk Of tho German population,
who have been induced to believe that this elec-
tion is o war Of racee. in which tley are to fight
tho "Puritanical American !" with tho sumo zoal
that their countrymen fought tho French.
4. Tho proprotors Of oil tho broweries, who
have joined in this fight On business principles.
5. Tho breworics Of Milwaukee and oincin-
natl, which havc contributed to holp dofeat the
Americans Of Chicago.
G. The gamblers aud their runners, and tho
dicted Aldermen, tho Hugh Reeds and AlcGraths,
who arc opposed to all law, and who demand
police TINT will not Interfere with thoir trades.
7. Wilbur T. Storey and his Eclectic ticket.
8. The naturalizaton-mill which turns out 800
Germans daily to put down the "Puritanical
Yankeos" at tho polls no1t Tuesday. Most Of
these candidates for citizenship swear that their
"tirat papers II wore burned up in the great fire.
Each man in these various forces is an aotivo
partisan each ia o committee on his own block
polls each is ut work day and night vigorously,
doing his work in detail, and with such atom
tiou that there is no doubt that on Tuesday
noxt every man in Chicago who can in any man-
nor be induced to vote tho Hesiug ticket will be
at the polls and deposit his voto. IN q large ma
jority Of tho precincts, the Election Inspectors
aro exclusively Hosingites. With these Germaps
in their prosont oxctod state, it would not bo at
all surprising If they should take possession Of
the polls In some plaoos and hold them exclusive
| ly throughout the day.

portaneo Of voting on Tuesday to saVo the

aud Nineteenth Wards can give majoritioa
against Hosng. But 1t cannot bo done un1oaE
