The twilight concern says the Rcpub-
leans are running their own canvass. The
information is supcrtlu1us. The canvass
has all the earmarks of Republican manip-
ulation. They can not accomplish any
thing by fair discussion of the
issues of the times, and they hope to succeed
by flooding the district with grccnbacks,
putting them where they will do the most
good--bracing up the weak knccd of their
faith who threaten to jump into the inviting
pastures Of plenty of money and nothing to
do to get it, But money will not win in
tins canvass. The people Of the Eighteenth
district desire to be represented in the next
congress by brains--and this leaves the boy
hero out Of the count.
