Neat Tuesday as election day.
Go early to the polls, Democrats,
and relax no effort untiI the last
ballot as IN the boz.
Baltimore Purists.


The Fusion movement in Baltimore is an
unholy alliance. 1t is a compact between
persons who formerly acted with the
Democratic party, but leftit for the party
good, on the one hand, and the Black and
Tan party on the other 1t pretends that
it Is organized for lower taxation, purer
political methods, better government, &c,
&c. Among the purist leaders are those
who organized rufianism and taught the
use of the awl at elections; who encouraged
the use of Federal bayonets to awe and
drive away Democrats from the polls; who
protested against repeal of the registra-
ton law which DISTINGUISHED Democrats;
and who were guilty of all known crimes
against the rights of citizens not oftheir own
political utilization. Among other purists
are those who are moved by jealousy, and
by Senatorial aspirations; those who would
free railroad corporations from paying a
Just proportion of taxes those who would
consolidate our railroads, to cut off compe-
tiliou. aud turn them over to the tender
mercies of Jay Gould.
