" With q sharp instrument make

Should the swelling not diminish,

Il LAST Word.

We have now but a few words to offer
to our Democratic friends; and it is to
urge every one to go to the polls to vote
and then to look after any infrm or diia-
tory neighbor or friend; and endeavor
to urge him to vote. Remember that
the polls close at 5 o'clock; full hour
before supper time. If you wait for such
an one to come to his supper, as at the
city election, which closes OF Z, p. M, he
may lose his vote. Do not suffer a vote
to be lost in this way. Call and ask your
friends if they have voted, and urge
them to this duty. Remember that it
will require every Democratic vote to
defeat the efforts of the Radicals to fas-
ten upon us the odious Civil Rights Bill
with all their extravaganza and the prob
ability of negro deputy sheriffs, negro
magistrates, negro constables, negro tax
collectors, &c. To prevent these and re-
duce your taxes, vote the Democratic
ticket, and be sure you deposit your vote
in the ballot box before the polls close at
) p. m. to-day.

From the New York World.
n Matter of Dollars and Ctnss.

Compare the relative number of its
blacks and whites with the political
condition of each of the several States
of the South. The whites perponder-
ate largely in Texas, and peace and
prosperity reigh supreme. Georgia,
Virginia, Maryland, Missouri, Ken
lucky, where peace and plenty abound,
are States which are absolutely under
Democratic CONTROL. North Carolina
and Arkansas, where things are just
tolerable, are in transition stage
-Radicalism waning, Democracy
growing. Alabama, Louisiana, Mis-
sissippi and South Carolina, where
the reign of terror" il unabated
are all exclusively under Radical
control.
Now, this brings us right face to
face with a question of dollars and
cents which the people of the country
would do well to consider, for all are
interested in it, equally the manufac.
turer of New England, and the impor.
ter of New York with the farmer Of
the West, and the great transportation
interests elsewhere. Morton, Conk-
ling and Logan, and all those who arc
Tapping the bloody shirt in our faces,
pretend to be the especial friends OF
these interests. Morton and Logan,
indeed. are so tender of their constitu
ents' comfort that they will not let
them have any but Rag Money, thus
shutting the Western farmers out
from the great markets of Europe.
In the same way by continually pro
noting the disorder and disorganiZa-
tion of the Southern States for theil
own prive, selfish political ends, they
are shutting the Western farmer out
from the still greater markets of the
South. Oliver p. Morton and James
o. Logan have given the South many
stab, but they have still more fatally
wounded the grain-growing and
stock-producing regions of the West
and Southwest. 1t is easy enough to
see how.
Before the war the South used to he
the great market of the country. 1t
produced cotton, sugar, rice, tobacco
it sold these abroad, and, with the
gold thus obtained, it bought manu-.
featured goods and lumber from New
England imported goods from New
York, and stock, wheat, corn, hay,
diary products, bacon, flour, lumber
from the West. 1t was one of the
most liberal buyers in the world, and
it paid the handsomest profits to those
with whom it dwelt. 1t produced
nothing itself but the raw materials
named, it had everything to buy, and
it had an annual income of $500, ,000,.
600 to buy with. This money, drawn
most of it from abroad, enriched the
whole country, especially the Western
grain-grower and the New England
| manufacturer.

POLITICIANS RUNNING A NAVY. YARD
The Boston Post of Saturday has plain
unvarnished statement of facts in regard
to the management of the Charlie stown
(Mass.) navy-yard 1t says
Bribery and intimidation have been
practiced in the navy-yards at Ports
mouth, Philadelphia, and elsewhere, but
never before has there been seen such
open and shameless purchase as is now
scandalizing tho partisans who are
striving to elect Mr.. Gooch to Congress.
OF about two thousand men employed at
the navy yard not over five hundred are
earning ten cents per day each; they are
paid from 81 to SIS per day out of the pub.
lie treasury, simply to secure their votes
for Mr.. Gooch. About seven hundred
men have been taken on the yard within
two weeks, and there is no pretense that
they were required to work. They LOAF
in gangs about the decks of vessels, play
checkers and cards in out -of-way places,
sleep away the days in rigging-h fits and
sheds. or sit about on piles of lumber, en-.
joying the fine October weather, and
laughing at the few credulous ones who
when they first appear in the yard, think
they have come there to labor. Over q
hundred shoemakers from Lynn are idl-
ing in the lumber sheds, earning not O
penny day each, waiting to vote next
Tuesday. 1t is certain that not less than
5000 per day is now being stolen from
the public treasury in this manner TO buy
votes for Mr.. Gooch.

Atthe Election on Tuesday meet,

Polls open between 8 and 0 o'clock, n.
m, and close at 8 o'clock, p. m.

SENATOR THURMAN's speech last night
was the great feature of the evening. II
drew crowds of intelligent Republicans
to the Democratic meeting, many Of
whom were highly pleased with the no
bic truths enunciated by the eloquent
stranger. But the crowd was so great
and the air SO frosty that few could
stand to listen any great length of time
The consequence was that constant
stream was going to and from the meet
ing; and thus was the good seed sowr
distributed among thousands, and its
fruits will be seen in the results of tht
votes to-day.

Pay no Heed to Radical Lies

Pay no heed to the lying stories put in
circulation by the Radicals on the eve of
the election. They have carried too many
elections already by deception; had it
not been so the country would have been
in a prosperous condition to-day, and
every man would have had rs much
work as he could do. We shall never
have a permanent change in the times
for the better until there is total change
an the administration of the country.
Confidence in the Radical policy has
been destroyed; the peculations and ras-
calities have been so numerous that no
reliance can be placed on the men in
power. Let us have a change in Congress
and thus take the first step toward the
return of better times. Every vote fol
Cochran and Williams is vote for fu.
