then interjscts the following suggestion OF con-
fdsnce in the secret ARRANGEMENTS that have
been made with the hope OF bringing about the
result to which he refers:
1t gives as the greatest satisfaction to be able to
assure you that We now fully believe, in view or the
information that we have received, that the people
have determined in their own minds and by an over
whelming majority 20 keep Indiana in the Democratic
column. Nothing now remains but to see that q tuu
vote is polled in every precinct in the State
We earnestly appeal 70 you to redou5le your efforts
toward securing that result. From this time on indi.
vidual workers must, in the main, take the place OF
the committees. The votes are ready-get every one
Of them into the ballot-boK. Do all that you fairly
can, in your own way. to bring this about Go to the
polls at daylight and work hard until they close.
Look sharply after the sick and the disabled. WIN
over the uncertain vote. arouse the Indifferent, and
keep an untiring watch on the doubtfuls.
The circular then closes with an expression OF
urgency. "As all Is now depending on Indiana"
1ncloeed In this appeal, the person to whom IL
IL addressed finds a note, in typewriter type,
enclosed in an envelope. bearing the following:
Don't forget to have this package in your
pocket on election day." The note infolds DEM
ocratic electoral tickets. and how they are to be
used the following explains:
You win find inclosed o genuine Cleveland and
Thurman electoral ticket. / hope you will try 20 get
at least one of them voted At your precinct. If you
know of any Republican, Greenbacker. Prohibitionist,
Union Labor man, Independent or tariff reformer;
continued In Office. 90 and see him in a private way
and furnish him with one of these tickets. They can
be ready. pasted over any of the other regular TICK
c. L. JEwETr, Chairman.
These tickets are printed in light blue ink. on
white paper, and have the mucilage on them SO
they can be used as pastors. They represent
only one Of the many schemes which 81 Sheerin
said. some time ago. gave him confidence in the
ability of the Democrats to carry the State.
While watching repeaters, Republicans should
never lose sight of these tickets, packages OF
which every Democratic worker and heller will
have about him..
But there is another set of pastors. which have
at their head the names Of the Republican can
didates for President and Vice president, Harri-
son and Morton, but they are followed by the
names of the Democratic electors. A ticket or
this kind is void. and when objected to In the
count, will perhaps be thrown out In that case
the voter who, under the impression that he has
cast his ballot for Harrison and Morton, will
lose his vote, as the voting must be for
electors. But in many Democratic precincts
where Democratic election boards will attempt
TO override the Republicans these fraudulent
tickets will be counted. Bat, whether counted
CO not, each ticket of this kind that goes into
the ballot box is q Democratic gain.
The Generals Receptions and Speeches.
A glance over the files Of the Journal for the
past four months furnishes some interesting
figures connected with the part Gen. Harrison
has borne In the Republican presidential cam
vass Of this year, since his nomination at Chica-
60, in June last. These files contain no
record of the immense correspondence
which he has supervised and kept up
q correspondence n which no letter
has been left unanswered and in which many
,ette rs of compliment and conpratulation have
received prompt attention. 1t 10 only the pub
die speeches and the services incident to the
| public receptions held by General Harrison
that are recorded in the Journal files since the
Republican nomination at Chicago, but these
considered in connection with thu character OF
| the addresses delivered and the circumstance
under which many Of such receptions were held
not only show the intellectual and moral force
1 OF the Republican presidential candidate, but
also illustrate his remarkable physical vieor
and staying powers, that have left him at the
close of an arduous campaign as fresh and Wig
orous a. whom he entered upon it's duties.
Since the day Of his nomination the General
has received 104 visiting DELEGATIONS. This num-
Der represents really the receptions, but on
many occasions he addressed In q body several
distinct delegations. The persons COMPRISING
not formally addressed. His speeches number
sixty-eight, covering 10000 words. In addition
to this are the receptions Including his attend
auce on the reunion of his old regiment at Clay
ton, Sept Is, and his journey to Middle Bass
island and return, which will advance the num-
Der OF persons greeting him $4,000. In this
group of figures he is to he credited
with eleven speeches, containing 5000 words.
Altogether he has shaken hands with one-half
the number OF persons given. But to these
figures must be further added resident and nom
resident spectators who were not included in the
delegations received at University Park and
Tomlinson Hall. The individual callers will i'm
Grease the aggregate by thousands, but their
number can not be Appropriated as the Journal
has no accord of it.
