Registration of Voters.

1t is well known that a large num-
Der of voters ia Grant County failed
70 attend the election last fall There
was consequently large filling off
in the Republican vote of the County.
In order, therefore, that a full vote
may be polled at the coming election,
it is important that the boards of the
several towns see to it that every
legal voters name is duly registered
before election day. The several
boards are required under the law to
register the names of all persons
known to them to be voters, either
at their first or second meeting,
whether they appear on the poll
lists of last election or not; and as
many names DO not appear on the
poll lists of last election, it is hoped
that due diligence will be used by
the several town boards to obtain
full and complete lists of all the vot-
ers in their respective towns, and
that proper exertions be used to get
out q full vote, for it is we'll under.
stood that q tull vote in Grant Coun-
ty always insures Republican vic
tory. ADDISON BURR,

The True Issue.

The political issue before the peo-
pie is so simple that no one need err
IN understanding it. 1t is just this,
snd nothing more Shall the control
Of the general government. the State
All County affairs pass into the hands
of the Democracy? Any side issue,
any division of Republican strength
on local questions, any votes drawn
from the regular ticket by the Re-
form element, serves to weaken the
party, and in proportion to their
strength tends to strengthen the
Democracy. Let nothing stand in
the way OF q complete Republican
success. 1t is vital to the peace and
welfare OF the nation that the party
that stands pledged to the unity of
the Republic, to an honest and eco-
nomicsl administration of its affairs,
to the protection of its citizens at
home aud abroad, should De contin-
ned in power. A vote cast tor al
independent or reform ticket is 3
vote thrown in favor of Democracy.
