In the week pasi the Democrats OF Rich

shsir organization. The appointment OF
IN unknown number OF unknown deputy
mar.bsls 10 parade themselves and badges
NJ The yotirr.p!aces has aroused the spirit
At cur people aud made them bestir them
selves. II makes little difference 20 us
whether they are 10 I've whites or blacks;
their appointment was wholly unnecessary
10 secure fair ballot or TO preserve the
peaec. As 10 the former, the Republicans
have two thirds Of the judges OF election;
they have the count here. as TO tear Of
riot, there Will never be one here unless
The Republicans make IT. We expect
majority in the city 81 from two To three
thousand; We want 10 poll our vote.

Wise asks Tor their names, and bead Dep
niy Ballard replies, ~ VII not comply
with Your request" So We are unin-
formed whether they are To bc men OF
reace or bulhos. All appointed. however,
are Republicans.
The Democrats expect 10 poll their full
vote Tuesday. Rumors of the working
men that are going TO vote for Blaine, traced
10 their source. prove in nearly every IN
stance baseless fabrications OF Republican
strikers. II there were any such week

deputy marshals has driven them of. With
eBly here and there an exception. those
who will on Tuesday vote for Blaine and
HUBBARD are the old.,ime Republicans and
INDEPENDENTS. The workingmcn are our
uutsi voter. The negro party i not the
party for them. They II have none OF II.

true. why are their names kept secret:
The Mayor has sworn in a number Of
good special policemen TO aid the regular
force. The uniformed men. as TAR as pos
sible, will be sent 10 the polls. They are
cool. trained, well-known. and responsible
officers. They 20 in the interest Of peace.
