die the farmers of Ohio?

WILL YOU
Support and sanction the degreda-

No, no. NO NO!

The Republican State Committee
circulated q pamphlet last week, the
burden of which was, the skinning
of dead convicts at the Penitentiary.
For Americans to charge Americans
with such an act is only another ex-
ample of how little, mean and con-
temptible the Republican managers
can be-, The good sense of the
American people, and of the decent
members of the Republican party
who respect their party, themselves
and their families, will give the lie
to the charge at the polls, and by
their honest vote, stamp their disap
proyal of any such political meas
ures. Now is the time to root out
such nastiness from Ohio politics.
Nv
The Battle i'm Ohio.
We clip the following from th'
Enquirer of Tuesday, which demon
strates that if the Democrats dt
their duty at the election to-day thu
State ticket will be elected by nic'
majority. 1t is necessary that every
Democratic vote be at the polls to
day. In the Enquirer's estimat,
Monroe's majority is put at 1000
and she ought, if the Democrat
do their duty to-day, she will Civ
at least 1900. Let it be done.
The Enquirer recently sent on
letters to the following persons: Th'
Chairmen of the Republican Count.
Executive Committees, the Chair
men of the Democratic County Ex
ecutive Committees, and the repre-
sentatives of the Enquirer at th'
various county seats. This circula
asked for an opinion based on th'
best information of the person ad
dressed as to the probable result il
each county, and the Democratic O
Republican majority for Congress
and on the head of the ticket.
/ Over three hundred letters hav,
been received in reply, and upon tn
information contained therein, th'
following estimate has been prepar
led. The Republican figures elec
Robinson by about ten Thousand
majority and fifteen out. of twenty
one Congressman. The Democratic
Figures elect Mcbride by a small ma
Ijority and eleven out of the twenty
one Congressmen. In many of th
counties the poll had not been com
lpleted when the returns were made
The Enqailer's figures, based upol
the returns made, elect by five thou
sand. and show that the Democratic
candidates for Congress are tel
thousand stronger than the Stat
ticket.
! The tide has set strongly in favo
of the Democracy during the las
ten days. At the opening of tn
campaign the Republicans had Rob
inson elected by fifty thousand ma
ljority.
! The poll just completed at Repul
.llican headquarters only shows sey
enteen thousand plurality. The vot
is very light, and there is but littl
enthusiasm among the Republican
of the State. In fact, they are tor
and rent asunder by quarrels an
dissension, and the masses general
are disgusted with the blunders an
mistakes of Foraker and his Admin
istration, and are indignant at Ge1
Robinson and Bob Kennedy's cor
nection with Red Line wheat an
Bohemian oats rascalities.
The Democrats of Ohio, on th
other hand, were never so united, an
never pulled so harmoniously to
gether. By hard and persisten
work in the next few days, and gel
ting out their full vote they ca
overcome the small margin and cal
ry the State by a handsome major
Ity.
