says:
"Our people may be assured that the time
for the redress of their grievances Is near at
hand, when they may BIS remedied, and a
recurrence for the future prevented without
doing injury to our friends beyond the linn

This doesn't look at ell we'll for the loyal
followers of General Malone in case of Mr..
Harrison's election, for as the General when
in power had no mercy upon the kickers, it
would be unnatural for them, if the scales
be turned, to treat him and his friends with

UNDER THE law no federal supervisor OF
election can be appointed except upon the
written and signed petition OF ten reputable
citizens. 1t is doubtful If any OF those In
Virginia have been so appointed and that
fact should be determined by the democrat
ic managers before the opening of the polls
tomorrow. But, no matter how appointed,
the Judges of election should bear in mind
that the election to be held tomorrow is for
President, with which supervisors have no
more to do than the man in the moon, and
that with the Congressional election all that
supervisors have to do is to be present as
witnesses. If they shall attempt to inter
fere with the election of Presidential cleo
tors in any manner. they should be arrested
and removed at once, and the same should
be done If they pretend to do anything else
with the Congressional election, except to
witness it passively. This is no time for
democratic fooishness. nor for republican
bulldozing, and the supervisor who shall at
tempt to cut up any didos should be squeloh-
ed Immediately In cities of &C, 900 inhabi
tsnts they can interfere, but nowhere else.
