hard wound up for 60 days or more, and
the last turn will be taken on the screw to-
day a moment before the closing Of the
polls. 1t is a fight all along the
line, up and up, for blood. 1t is not q
struggle. however, vi ct armis, as the
shyster lawyer never fails to say,
If he can wiring his dog-Latin
In; it is an open, free-handed
competition Of ballots to determine which
one-half of the people shall be Immediately
represented at the head of affairs in Wash
ington. The battle will rage for Office
from Presid emf down to Constable. This
suggests a remarkable fact. Extremes
actually meet in this instance and the
Presidential candidate is esteemed Of no
more Importance than the candidate for
Constable, that is, in some rare instances.
AT the last election the one was
traded off for the other. This is human
or inhuman, whichever you please.
Let Democrats to-day look upon Cleve-
lands election as of the last importance.
Whatever else you may do to-day remem-
Der that the head Of -FOUR ticket must be
voted right if you want Democracy to pre-
vail. We say this to Democrats, Of course,
but the appeal is to Republicans, also. If
Cleveland wins to-day his victory will be
gained through the wisdom and patri-
otism Of a large and respectable part Of the
Republican, who, seeing the needs of the
country and recognizing Cleveland as the
most fitting man for Chief Magistrate are
going to vote for him. Let every citizen,
therefore, know first what he is about be-
fore he goes to the polls. Let him be ON
his guard against all election frauds and
lodges. You know whom you want sto
vote for, but, unless you are careful, you
may lose your franchise through careless
ness or over sight. See that the candi-
dates of your choice are on your ballot.
There will be all kinds Of tickets in the
field. The Democratic ticket will
be counterfeited in every possible way.
You will find 1--WE speak from experience
and not from present knowledge), if you
do not look sharply at your ballot, that
some one or more candidates whom you
want to vote for are left off, and instead of
their names appear the names of their OPP
ponents-men whom you, perhaps, are de-
sirous to ''cinch." See that you do
not fall into any of the numerous pits
that are more than likely to be set for
you; but. above all, see that you do not
blk yourself by leaving your friends out
in the cold by giving your vote to their
adversaries. We cannot repeat the warn
ing too often or with too much emphasis:
LOOK CLOSELY AT YoUR TICKETS AND SEE
THAT THEY CONTAIN THE NAMES OF THE MEN
THAT YOU WANT TO voTE FoR
We have called this election q fight, a
battle, a struggle, etc. 1t is not and ought
not to be, a fight in the ordinary sense OF
the word. 1t should be a calm, thought
full expression Of opinion by the people
which is to name their servants
for two and for four years. Let it then be
so considered. 1t will be exciting. Ger
tainly, it can't be otherwise. But excite
ment should not pass beyond the bounds
OF quiet. Men should act In this emer-
gency, a time when the welfare of the
Commonwealth depends upon their judy
ment, as though they were jurors and the
candidates were before them on trial.
Not that we mean by this that we would
compare candidates with the horde OF de-
pendents who have passed under the judicial
test, some OF them getting of though guilty,
and others getting jailed though innocent.
Be it understood clearly that we regard
candidates as prima facie honorable, but
c~onvicts as not so. Don't pack pistols or
any other concealed weapons to-day. II

the two irreconcilable things may collide
and one of them. or bOsh may go off and
the weapons, being quicker, may go of ia.
tally; otherwise, the whisky Is quick
enough in talk. There is no occasion for
controversy or quarrels. Discuss politics
ia cold blood; II you can't do 80, don't talk
at all, but go simply and vote. 1t will be
better for you and your friends. In a
row. you or the other man may get hurt,
or some person innocent Of any heat or
quarrel may get the contents Of q bulldog
into his bowels. Remember that each
citizen Is an important factor. and upon
single votes put together everything de-
ponds for the country; yet do no be so
blind as to think that the election depends
absolutely upon yourself, for this may
make you fatally intolerant OF opposition,
and is likely to breed in you a de-
sire to "paint the town red"

portance for all to vote right to-day,
IL must be recognized that whichever way

exist.
