COUNTY TICKET.
is ITS WORK FINISHED?

Republicans, wake up! Are you go
ing to permit the Democrats and NAL
contents TO capture Lyon county, There
never was a campaign when there was so
much bosh used to influence votes as at
present. The country is full of false
statements about the history of the Re
publican party. All the great reform
ers" who have been kicked out of Office,
or who could no longer run the party to
suit them, and many of whom got their
living off the party for years, are en-
gagged in a TRADE of abuse against the
party The political malcontents and
the cottonwood money advocates are be
laboring every man who will listen to
them with clap-trap stuff about the finan-
ces, most of which is false. Their object
is to shake the Republicans confidence
in his party. This accomplished, they
expect his vote in opposition to the Re
publican ticket. Too many men are dis
posed to listen 20 and believe All the dem
agogue stuff they hear about finances
and reform. Meet them on all Occa-
sions by asking the proof of their asser-
lions. We have heard of several in
stances where these loud-mouthed teach
ers have been utterly routed by plain
question or two from stiffbacked Re
publicans. A favorite song with these
lamentatiOn singers about the condi-
tion of the country, is that they helped
organize the Republican party, but that
ii has served its day. Has the party ac-
complished its work so long as such re-
formers as O'Driscoll, of Doniphan coun-
~, can stand up in Greenback state
convention and declare that John Sher-
man has done more damage to the coun-
try than all the rebels of the south ever
did? Is the mission of the Republican
party finished when Ben Hill, at this
time United States senator, and ma
tional leader of the Democratic party,
who made speech recently in his own
state, declares that secession is no
crime, and that it violated no oath? Do
Republicans think they had better drop
their party and turn the country over to
the Democrats when this same Ben Hill,
- opCSSD1 lIldJ IL,
(meaning Republicanism,) is deliberate,
Intentional, wicked, ever-increasing
crime, and that Republicans are the on
ly real, intentional rebels in American
history. He declared, there is no peace for
the country until Republication is crush
cd, desptsed, and made infamous Says
he, "if we must have war-cannot pre-
serve the constitution by ballot-Ameri-
ca must save her constitution in blood
Let it come! l am ready!" This fellow
was general in the late rebel army, and
IS nice man to howl about saving Amer
lea He is now in the United States SEN
ate, and after the 4th of March next, at
which time the Democrats will take
possession of the senate, will be Dem
ocratic leader in that body. Is there
nothing to fight for, Republicans Is it
time to abandon the party when in near
ly half the states of this Union Repub-
lican cannot vote-where Republicans
are dragooned into voting the Democrat
&c ticket by the use of murderous secret
organizations and shotgunsg Are you
10 be turned aside by the clap-trap about
rag money, and false charges against
your party, to accommodate lot of
peregrinating offlce-hunters We de-
clare it to be our deliberate conviction
that it is about time for Republicans to
wake up and be doing. Close up the old
ranks for another victory, and see that
YOU win in November.
