ALAST PULL.

ALAsT PULL.
A strong pull, and a pull altogether,
is what is needed from the Democracy
OF Ohio to-day and tomorrow. The
surface indications promise them vic
tory if they do not fag at the end OF the
race. They have been running well for
the past two or three weeks, while their
competitors have been weakening
There is a confident feeling all along the
line that victory is within their grasp.
Much will depend upon the conduct
Of the leadership, as well as OF the rank
and file Of the party at the
polls, tomorrow. They must see
that there is a free and fair, as we'll as
full vote of their party strength. The
most effective work of the canvass will
be done between this and the closing OF
the polls tomorrow night. The party
that relaxes its efforts At this stage OF
the campaign will fail to reap the fruits
of its labors. The harvest time is come,
and the crop must be garnered now or
never.
Tonight there will be lively meetings
at our neighboring towns along the
river, as there will also be through
out the State. At Bridgeport
there will be Democratic rally OF the
old fashioned sort, with a number OF
speakers, among whom will be the Hon.
WV. W. SPRINGER, of Illinois. We
understand that there will also be an
opposition blow out, at the same time
and place. But there wont be much
show for the Republican speaker when
Mr.. SPRINGER gets under Roadway. lie
will be apt to monopolise that branch OF
the exercises.
At Bellaire there is a prospect of one
Of the most interesting meetings OF the
season, to be addressed by Speaker RAN
DALI. The Republicans will endeavor
todivide the crowd there also, but will
probably meet with even worse success
than at Bridgeport Everybody will
want to hear RANDALL. Wheeling will
send a good delegation to both points to
help close up the campaign.
MANNER OF CASTING THE GREEN
BACK VOTE IN OHIO.
The chairman of the National Green
back State Executive Committee OF Ohio
has issued circular providing a plainly
which the Grccnbackers of that State
may vote for whatever candidate they
please without losing their identity.
That is To say, a Greenbacker may vote
for the Democratic or Republican candi-
date, and have his vote counted rs cast,
while il may also be ascertained that a
Greenbacker east the vote, and the
strength Of the party thus estimated in
the general result.
The circular proceeds to say that it is
manifest that the great body OF the Ma
tional party will support EwING and
RICE, not as Democrats, but rs fit rep
r senta,iycs OF our doctrines. The only
question OF how this support can be
given 50 as to conform to the election
laws Of this State and preserve in tact
our organization for the future. 1t is
desirable that on the morning after the
elrciipa of EwING dHd RICE at roll call
every National in Ohio will respond to
his name, and recognized and reunited
will march on to the next and grandcst
triumph of the age, the election OF a
National for President and Nice-PrcSi-
dent in 1880. The Executive Commit
tee suggest, therefore, the following
hints Us to how you may prepare your
tickets and preserve your organized
identity, to-wit:
|. Ii Won desire To use the Democratic
State ticket for convenience, YOU will
draw your pencil through the caption
democratic State ticket ut the
head OF the ticket, and in
the same way as To the county
ticket, then scratch ont such OF the State
and county candidates as YOU desire,
and fill up with the names of such candi-
dates rs YOU desire To vote for. \ ticket
thus formed will represent a National
vote.
>. Ii you desire to use the Piatt State
and county ticket for convenience, then
-. .r..r.,t..l tho n
Piatt and Pryor and insert the names
OF Ewing and Rice. This will then be
known as a National vote.
3. Ii you desire to use 4 ticket in ac-
cordance with the authority Of the Ma
tional Party Convention, held ut Toe
do, June 9th, YOU will have your tick
cts printed with the caption, National
State Ticket" with names of candidates
for State offices blank, to be filled by
the voter, printing the names OF county
officers only i'm cases where nominations
have been made in pursuance OF the au-
thOrity OF that convention, otherwise 10
leave all the names blank, To- be filled up
bv the voter. Either of these modes
will enable us to know the strength OF
our party vote cast at this election. 80
important is this that the Committee
urges upon every voter to see that his
ticket is filled out i'm one ot the forms
suggested before it is placed in the bal
lOt-bOX.
