The "Citizens Reform" Caucus.

Mr.. EDITOR The call for citizens caucus to
nominate candidate for Mayor, is fraud and
cheat. The movement is led and controlled by
the democrats. Their motive as declared by their
leaders, is to get control of the check lists, and by
that means control the election in this city next
September. In the language of the leaders, ''to
checkmate BLAINE" This is their language. Let
no republican be deceived. Remember the mutt
lation of the check lists in 1865, when the demo-
Gratis had control of them How the lists were
forged and mutilated-the names of many OF our
Oldest citizens erased and mutilated by forgery
letters being added to their names in many cases,
in others letters erased; the names OF minors
placed on the lists; the names of the same per-
sons put on the check lists in several wards, and
the men bearing these names carried from ward
to ward by the managers, to vote on those names
This is the reform to which are invited, and
such the men by whom we are invited. Let every
republican be warned against the plot in season
Let us be united. Let bygones be bygones-and
the schemes of these men will fail of fulflment
Let the good people of Augusta remember that
on Monday last eight cities elected their govern
ments for the year. in this State, and that all of
them refused to allow these would be reiormers to
have control Of their interests, moral, social and
political. .-.>
