Republican sulldozing in M ohne.

Information reaches US from good sour
ces that the republicans are already at
their old tricks of whipping them in.
Everybody remembers the campaign of
1876 when the republican bosses stood at
the polls all day, when the republican tick
cts were printed on green paper, and each
man was tailed" as he voted. We are
informed that the same dirty, mean. con-
temptibe cowardly trick is to be again re-
sorted TO this fall, and that republican in
terests are to be carefully guarded in that
way. Democrats must remember that
this Is free country and that the right
to vote as one pleases is one Of of the dear
est privileges of an American citizen.
These republican bosses may as we'll re-
member. too. that there is law which
severely Furnishes any attempt to influence
either directly or indirectly the vote of any
citizen by undue influence, and right here
it may as well be stated, and It is no idle
boast either, that any attempt to repeat the
tactics of 1876, will be prosecuted to the
extent Of the law. Dictatorism is not yet
supreme 10 Illinois and will not be pRrmit-
ted. There may be some in this vicinity
who would not hesitate to initiate the in
famous Madison Wells returning board
schemes, but they Lad better not attempt
the introduction of any such measures.

lican bulldozers and smoke it.

occasions is worth seven dollars and half
per minute, while that Of his audience is
not worth anything. He will inform you
of all the wonderful things he and the re-
publican party has done. lie will tell
republican party. we never would have
had any Improvements on the island aud
possibly DO island at all. He will also
show that without bis efforts and those of
the party we never would have had free
bridge or any bridge at all, and possibly
any Mississippi river to be bridged, for you
must remember his time is worth $3.50
national notes) per SO seconds. Should
he touch upon finance be will show you
that without his services and those of the
republican party no one 10 this country
would have cent, aud possibly foreign
countries would all be bankrupted. He
will probably fight the war over again and
wax eloquent over southern outrages and
the payment of southern claims, These
used to be Hiram's pet subjects in 1866
and l868-subjecss that he revised and
became terribly excited over in the cam
paign of 1876. 1t is to be hoped he will
touch upon these subjects for
then you see Hiram at his best,
ard 10 his most terrible frenzies of
eloquence. His best hold is the
bloody shirt" No msstiff ever shook a
rag more savageIy than Hiram can this
pet republican election auxiliary, He will
show you how through his efforts valued
at $3.50 per minutel and those of his

vote the republican ticket. span of
mules and 40 acres of land, and how
every laboring man in the land possesses q
house and lot and handsome bank ac-
count. He will tell you how he and Tom
Henderson worked for the Island appro-
priation of which the Island would not
have received five cent piece if it had
it not been for Charlie Durham, and it is
barely possible Hiram may have some new
idea to advance other than these we have
enumerated, although those who are most
intimate with Linn do not accuse him of
presenting anything new. 1t is barely
possible that he may take twist at the
fiat mule. If he does it will only be TO
