| publican headquarters yesterday morning, ad-

the Republican party and to express themselves
on the conduct Of Hesing in attacking the Far-
we'll Hail meeting of the business public with
his mob. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed,
and . firm determination to protect the ballot
boxes Tuesday seemed to have settled upon all.
Gen. Logan said the fight Was common one
in defense Of homes. government against the
combination Of thieves. led on by Heaing-
Neither nationality nor politics entered into the
canvass now. but the fight had narrowed down
to honesty Al against dishonesty, and pure
ballot-box against an impure one,-honesty
against corruption. Since Hesins had shown his
cloven foot At Farwell Hall, there WAS no longer
doubt about the 1esult Of the election.
He believed that the friends OF FL
honest Government would achieve euch
victory Tuesday as would thrill the
entire State with joy, The attempt to
carry the election by fraud first developed Itself
lowed by the pnrtiality displayed in the recent
appointment Of judges Of election. Under the
circumstances those who would not rally to tho
polls in defense of the ballot-box we're un-
to 1nobs- and their leaders, but since the police
had refused to project ths business pub
lie in THAR rights to meet aad
discuss tho issuea Of the Gay. the
people would have to protect themselves,
and be was ready to fall in tha ranks, to put on
his arms and defend the public interest at the
point Of the bayonet il necessary. [AppiauHc-l

who he'd spoken at Fnrxell Hall tho evening

all hands convinced him that those within his
voice were not only provoked but deeply in car
nest in protecting tho purity Of the ballot-box.

ought to give way to work, and that every man
who could do anything ought 10 be in
