RspublIc An Propositions 10 Trade

Several of the Republican pro positions to
trade votes, in order that they may be en-
abled to control the Legislature, have been
exposed in the REGISTER, but the scheme
is still b,ipg worked in various portions OF
this county, and in other prts of tie
State as well. 1t is general pre- arranged
scheme on the part Of the Republican Com
mittee, and is being energetically carried
out wherever p;s,ible. The latest vali,-
ton upon this little idea cans from Fnl-
ton, where, Monday evening, aproro ,tion
was made to Democrat 20 trade on this
basis: The Republican to csst a vote for
Fleming and ply the Democrat five dollars
if the Democrat would vots for the four
Republic IN candidates for the Legisla-
tlre.
The oT-r ua1 rejected by the Democrat,
as all such offers should be.

The Republican Hand Being Shown.
The Republicans are rapidly getting
reserve ammunition in the shape Of Doodle,
rootrback', lies, trad ne propositions, etc,
into line, and from this time unit election
day The air will b, thick with these pecu-
ar evidences Of the ftuess a?d worth of
the party of moral ideas.
1t is noticeable that all these varied
schemes are folio wing right upon ths heels
OF Sly Steve Elkins' wait 10 tie city. Be
fore he came things were drifting along in
comparatively quiet manner, bat no
s,oDes had he dropped into town, and
been called upon at his hotel by a few
dozen Republican lesderp, than there wa. q
decided change. The scent Of boodIe is now
upon The air, there il hurrying to and
fro at the haun!s of Republican leaders,
scheme after scheme, previously concoc.ed,
and hung up to await the arrival of cash
[ ,essary TO put it into working shape, is
trotted out, end all sorts OF tricks and de-
vicss are parceled out among the heelers
aud small local leaders. Ole Of these 1T
tie schsmeI will serve M an illustration Of
tie rest. Yesterday ll-posters were 60
ing about town putting up placsrds bar
ing the stai ting announcements: WORK.

ptaa wagas?" and followed by a long l!st
Of wages paid in various occupations in
this country and abroad. OF coarse, this
sort Of rot has no fleet upon sensible peo-
pie, but it is fine eX ample Of tie tricks
being reSOrted to.
Keep yopr eye on the effects Of Stave
Elkin,' fnsLc!al encouragement.
