OF such empioyes as should refuse to obey his
partisan mandates: and Of these employees no
has made a black list. In word, ne mas d.
vel-ted the iabors OF some OF the cisys employees
from the city to himself, and other OF suca eo1-
ploycs he has discharged because ct their re-
fusal to violate their political convictions. He
has at the expense Of the city. with the money

where the disrepusable and criminal classes re-
side, with instructions to organize those pests OF

We charge that Carter 81. Harrison. III his dual
capacity as Mayor of the City of Chicago md
Chairman Of tho Democratic Campaign Com
tuittee has advised the seizure and buld1ng Of
the polls on Tuesday next by Democrats, with
the design OF preventing large numbers OF Ne-
pubiicans from exercising the right Of suffrage,
and soof defeating full, free vote and fair
count. We submit that this Is an Infamous con-
spiracy, to be resisted by tho useof every lawful
appliance.
We charge that the Democratic party have
deliberately corrupted the registry in many
wards Of the cty,-cOrrupted it by fraudulent
vouching, by placing on the lists the names OF
persons not residents, the names Of persons ac~
credited to vacant lots and unoccupietl houses,
and the names of persons falsely representing
the residences Of legal voters
We charge that it is the design OF MIR. Harrison
as Mayor to use the entire police force OF the
city On eicc1iou-day for the protection OF DEM
ocrats, whether honestly or frauduieuty regis
tered, and that it is his design Us Chairman Of
the Democratic Campaign Committee TO pollute
the suffrage with fruudleut votes. Against this
dual criminal purp<'se. We earnestly protest.
We protest against the employment .of the
police next Tuesdny for any other purpose than
the keeping OF the peace.
We charge that the attitude of Mr. Harrison is
q menace to the peAce OF the city, that it tends
TO provoke disturbance and bioudshed, that it Is
unparalleled In the history OF politics in this
country. and that it merits the unp' ':nlited con-
dc,nuatton of ,lil liberty-lov.ng, Feace-loviug
citizens
The efforts OF the Republican Executive Com

ployed to scan the disrcputabte quarters of
the 1:lty, ana SO to prevent Us far as
may be wholesale Illegal registering and
repeating. III this effort The Democratic party
has In no case co0peEated with US On the con-
tsary, the managcrs seem to have bent all
their energies to the work of stul1ng the registry
with fraudulent names, and to the oryauizing
these corrupt forces for 4 raid upon the ballot
boxes on Tuesday next We urc aware, how
ever, that III the ranks OF the Democratic purity
there are large numbers OF persons who despst:
