Barlow Informant What was the
cause of the short vote in Polk county?
Nearly every precinct fell short Of the
registered vote, and some of tham nearly
one-half. This is a great w:oag, and if
the State or district is lost by these un-
polled votes, the parties who failed to
vote, without good cause. onght to be
disfranchised. = The diabolieas schemes
of the Republicans to thwart the public
will, and prevent fair election. are Blu,
fair samples of what may be expected
by the people if this thieving party are
not ousted from power at cnce. The
stoppage of mails, and the leaving of
trains by mail agents, is so outrageous
that the public must revolt against it, or
they deserve to be slaves.
The Palatka Daily News, in referring
to the late fire says: But at time when
all are signing contracts to evolve city
from the dreary ashes of town, when no
dependency is visitle anywhere, and
every arm is raised to do its utmost for.
the common good, we are elsndered
throughout the country by reports pub
lished in the New York journals affecting
our character as a community and injur-
ing US before all men. These reports are,
utterly false in many particulars given in
the New York HerdId of the 9th inst. I"
." Our people are peaceable and
law abiding; the two races work fratern-
ally together, and no election Of any
President can stir up strife between u.s.
There is absolutely no proof of infendia
rism. No "scrimmage was the oatfome !"
