Ii you do you are mistaken. L know he
has preserved these infamous laws to
encompass his own ends. But to effect
this he needs power at his back. He has
not control of the Republican party as
he had in 1870. He has against him in
opposition to his plans for cheating the
people the entire Grant party, while he
has behind him but little personal pow
er. and still less power to use to cheat
the people of their suffrages. cannot
conceive why people should now have
such an idea of his great power. He is
supporting Greeley and Brown, and the
only hope he has in the future lies in
their election. He cannot retrace the
step he has taken. If he is honest in
his support of Greeley and Brown

When he requires a fair registration to

must be registered and polled. So if YOU

see how far this is true. There are two
tickets before the people, one headed by
kellogg and Antoine, the other by true
and tired citizens of our State. Kellogg
embodies carpet-bagism more than any
one in the State. He came here as Col
lcctor and left here as Senator. While
he was Senator he paid a few visits here
but had a home elsewhere. He is here now
