BlA Among the tricks resorted to by the
"Hayseeds' to get names to the ''mongrel
CALI was this: The man with the
circular would go into the shops and among
the Swedes, and when they (the Swedes)
objected to signing, saying they wanted a
change" the oily tongued solicitors would
tell them, so do we, that's what we want,
we are not for Grant, we are for Hayes, a
: retoTnaeT" and under this delusion many
, signed. Others did not even stop to read
the call, but signed thinking it was for
some other purpose. Besides this, the
call contains the names of minors, dead
men. and non residents, unnaturalized clti,
Zens and in fact is fraud clear through
1t won't hurt anyone here.

! authority for stating that among the
signers to the "Haynaker's'' call, as pub
lished in the Union, are a number
who will vote for Tilden and Hendricks
and besides there are number Of strniGh
n Democrats, who probably never signed i

Over 80 petitions or circulars, were ou
all over the city, the leaders and depute
went everywhere. The shops were visite,

! change were told that this aoas for
: change' And now after all the BLOWN
l. that has been done; after all that has bee
said, they publish list which contains tn
names Of many who cannot vote, other
who do not even reside here own
u Burgen' for instance.) For the sati.
u faction Of Democrats we will state tha

?" the Democratic county convention, Vh
Union will please remember this and nc
try to bamboozle its readers into believin
:. otherwise. On tie whole the showing is
IL decidedly weak one
