supporters of the republican party see to
it that they at once complete their prepara-
ton for bringing out their full vote at
the polls. The few days remaining for
work should be actively employed for that
purpose. The check lists are to be cor
rected. The names of young men Just be-
coming voters should be placed upon them
whatever other changes are required In
the lists should be faithfully attended to.
The canvass of every town should be
made SO thoroughly that it may be known
if possible on the morning of election how
the vote will stand when the polls are
closed.
There will be this year, as always, some
apathetic, some Indifferent as to the re-
suit, with whom it will be necessary to
labor The greenbackers will try to Sc
duce republicans from their allegiance.
They have made show Of holding con-
yentions In all counties where they could
muster recruits enough to fill a county
ticket, for counterfeit appearance OF
strength to mislead and cheat the easily
deceived. They have equity tickets in
counties where they can scarcely count
score of voters. Their numbers are be-
coming less instead of more as the elec
tion approaches. even in those localities
where they have made their greatest ef-
forts and boast the most of what they are
going to do. One month ago they assert
ed positively that Somerset county, the
home of their candidate for Governor,
would be carried by the coalition of
greenbackers and democrats then project
ed and since carried out, but the rerubli-
cans OF Somerset will stand by the old
party flag next Monday with undimnish-
ing fidelity aud ardor, and the Rev. Mr.
Munson and his democratic -greenback
party will Ego up in balloon" and new
er be heard of again in political circles.
Let republicans remember that a vote for
Munson will count for Williams. Let them
not forget that this greenback side-show
is gotten up and paraded for the benefit
of the democratic party. It's device to
lead republicans over into the democrat
ic party, where no honest means or per-
suasion could lead them. There will real
ly be but two parties in the field at this
election, the republican party supporting
General Selden Connor, and the demo-
cratic party with its greenback side-show
supporting Joseph II. Williams.
Though the democratic party is divided
and demoralized over the nomination OF
Mr.. Williams and his antl-democratic con-
struction of the fraud resolution in the
Portland platform, the republicans should
not therefore abate one jot or tittle of their
vigilance and activity in preparing for
election and casting the full vote of their
party at the polls. Bring out every voter.
Let there be no stay-at-homes on the day
OF election. Watch the polls. Rally the
Indifferent. Pull together in harmony
Williams will be beaten to death, but
there will be contests over senatorial and
county tickets and town and city repre-.
sentatives that will demand all the strength
that republicans can WELD to give them
success.
We congratulate our republican friends
on the favorable circumstances under
which they are approaching the election.
Harmony reigns throughout the republi
can ranks. There is not sign of djscoro
in them. The bugle call on Monda,
