has been set on foot by the Democr,s man.
ayers TO beat the Republicans. The SCENE is
to hire as many colored men as pssible,
known to be Republicans, to go swarwith
promise of plenty OF work and goodvages
from now until Christmas. OF couu aner
the election, all, who have been foolish aough
to go, will be discharged and compiled 10
make their way back home as best tlsv can.
At La Plata and other points on tn road,
colored men have been solicited to leavnnder
such promises by Democratic hrelins who
are paid so much per head for all they ! n i'm
duce to go. Republicans, white and c,orsd.
should see TO it that voters are not foo eiouto of
their votes by any such tricks. Republicans
who think the Democrats are doing nahinp
to win will be very much mistaken If tAsv do
not work to- counteract the various s6emss
that may be set on foot. Watch eyerynovs
have every voter in place and see that b, hal
lot is cast on the day of election.

enocb ia the life of the individual. Such a
remarkable event is treasured in the memory
and the agency whereby the good health has
been attained is gratefully blessed. Hence it
is that so much is heard in praise of Electric

Enthusiastic Republican candi-
dates have met large and enthusiastic crowds
wherever they have been in the county dur
ing the campaign and everything points to a
Republican victory in November
Yet we should not fail to remember
that we have a shrewd and willy political
enemy to contend WITH who gets in fine work
whenever he can, and that we must never for
a moment be idle until the election is over
aud the votes are counted. If every Republi-
can does his duty we will win, golden ingots
