1UE ELICTIONS.

A great fight is near It's end. Votes cast to-
morrow will shape the future OF tins Nation
for many years. Republican triumph means
LOYALTY. Justice to all, free vote ana tar

and the North at the helm. Democratic votes

! South fights for the same cause Tor Whch Lee
and jackson fought for four years, and lie IS
right. The North ought to think OF It's dead,
and fight for the cause TO winch they gave
their hives.
We have come 20 the stage at which loyalty
mean prosperity and rcacc, while the rule OF
thc Sonth means ruin and long strife. To all
men IN this land, with great reason. the fight
uovy seems one Of business. industry, pul lie
credit and material prosperity. That Is be-
cause honcs.y pays. Bad faith i'll the Nation
means hard times for the man woman. Jus
lice pays. When the South WRONGS any class,
all the land bears the loss. 1t pays to have a
fair vote and a fair count, and the frauds by
which Solid South takes only fOrty-scy en-
less votes than majority CT the electors place
all business and all industry in peril. The land
can thrive with just regard Tor all It's industries
blended tremendously as they are by laws now
in force; 1t will not thrive if plantation notions
Of free trade break down the diversified indus
tries which make the North nch and strong.
II has come to this: A ote for Garfield is a
vote for equal rights, public honor, far vote
in all parts of The land, just protection, and
lasting prosperity. A vote for Hancock means
the GRAY above the BluC-and that involves
everything. 1t involves fraud at the polls and
fraud in the count it involves laws for the few
instead Of laws for all; it involves bad money
and no credit; it involves closed mills and
mines and low wages, and terrible loss for all
who have saved from their earnings. In such a
case. the choice of the free and loyal North IS
Dot IN doubt. Ohio has spoken. and Indiana
and their votes, no man really doubts, will I've
Iepcatcd with emphasis Tomorrow. Not one
State at the North, save those which may be
ruled by the dense population within fifty miles
Of the New York City Hall, Is now IN doubt
Vet. in the distant states, it will not DO for
friends of free institutions to be apathetlc OF
over-conGdent. They have willy and des-
pcrate foe, and may meet fraud where they
least look for it. Their work will not be vel
done till the last vote that can be gained Tor the
Rcuublicap cause has been cast and counted.
The State, which sit under the shadow OF
the Ncw-Yolk City Hall will give good account
of themselves No late brlgs, or last cards, OF
tardy rumors, should shake the faith of the
loyal men of the country. Victory is with tn,
right. let them be sure, if only they do then
whole duty. Here there is not a cloud on Tn,
sly. Staunch and true Republicans will TAKE
care Of the work to the end, and they count on
victory in every Northern State. Let on
friends at q distance do their part as well. anC
the sun will set on the day of election on
grand and complete victory.
Is there true man who will not give the las
day of this contest to save his Nation from
wrong and stain, and his country from grave
d;sasterY Let hun think of the men VIII
