We desire TO say Il few words to those gentle
men who are members Of the Standing Commit
tee in the different townships in the county.
The campaign now in progress is one Of great
importance, involving as it does the election Of
President and Vice President of the United
States. 1t will to n great extent depend upon
your earnest and energetic ,iiorls whether the
fall Democratic vote of the county is rolled
See TO il that 80 far as lies in your power no
vote shall be left Mt home on the 9Th of Novem.
Der next, Yonr position is not one Of mc,c
honor, but one which demands work, uncra.rg
work from this time until the election. Arouse
interest in the men of your own party, and If
possible in those Of the opposition, Arrange
your pl ns to have such voters as live at ,li-.
tance from the polls brought in and also provide
for the carriage OF those whose age or inirmil,s
require it. In II word, be vigilant Jealous and
active, aud Columbia county will this year give
larger majority than ever before.

The "hayes & wheeler" club are so h,rd run
for material to furnish "mrth, song and jokes
at their meetings that they resort to novel meth
ods of obtaining it. They invite gentlemen to
attend their gatherings, and after they get them
there, call loudly for speech. The unsuspect-
ing victims say few words in self defence, and
then sit down, whereupon the Republican makes
fun of them. That is where the "mrth and
jokes" come in. The "hayes & wheeler" choir
from down town furnishes the "song."
