Even the Chicago Times in re-

Governor Taylor and his pretend

BE sustained, and that Taylor's de

whom they shall vote they must
vote for Ludington.

TO REPUBLICANS.

Tuesday of next week, Novem-
Der ed, the election for state officers
members of the Legislature, and in
some countries, county officers, takes
place. The canvass has been the
most stirring and exciting for years.
The bogus Reform party has made
a desperate attempt to keep control
of the power they wrested from the
Republicans through deception
and false promises two years ago.
.F1un every portion of the state
comes the cheering news that the
party of many promises but no full
ailments will be hurled from control
at the coming election and the Re
,publicans restored 10 that power
which the hest interests of the state
demanded they should never have
lost. But to achieve this glorious
result the polling of the full Repub-
iican vote is essentially necessary.
The questions at issue in the pres
ent contest are SO momentous that
uo true Republican can afford to
keep himself aloof from the polls.
A large majority of the reformers
care nothing for Taylor but will en-
deavor to save the state fo- the pres
idential candidate in opposition to
the Republicans next year. Let
the Republicans of Wisconsin next
Tuesday send greeting to their Re
publican brethren Of Ohio, Iowa
land Nebraska who have spoken SO
recently in laundering tones in ia
wor of Republican principles.

The SOLDIERS WILL RALLY
1t is an insult to ask the patriotic
soldiers of Wisconsin to vote for
this bogus reform ticket headed by
bounty broker and without one
soldier on it from beginning to end.
The veterans who perilled their
lives to put downlthe rebellion will
rally at the poles to vote downs the
sham reformers and elect the Re-
publican ticket which has three sol
diers on it; two of whom were
wounded in defence of the Union.
