He had also given many other things to Con-

do is to see that every Republi-

Of election. If this is done, victo-

worthy to bear the Republican
banner and they are laboring
hard to bear it through successful
ly. Let us stand by them. Mr..
Monger is making a thorough can
vass Of Hamilton county. Let
everybody turn out to hear him.
In political debate he is superior
to Mr., Key. While Mr.. Key has to
depend on wild defamation and
abuse of the Republican party,
Mr.. Monger brings forth solid
sledge hammer facts with which
he mashes up Democracy. Capt.
Pryor is travelling all over the

minutes speech at the grand
rally Saturday night. In fact, the
Col. was more liberal than we eX.
pected for a red-hot Democrat
He said the recent Republican
gains in Ohio and Indiana were
Indicative ofanother Republican
victory in November. He said
that all such men as Tweed, Por-
ter, Harris, Morrissey, Burch,
Hobbs, Cullom, JEFF. Davis, Til
len, Salary Grab Hendricks, and
Ill other such rascals would have
to take back seats in November.
The Col. is getting.all right again.
