THE DUTY THAT REMAINS.

The questions at issue in the campaign have
been exhaustiyely discussed. Consequently every
intelligent voter must have made up his mind by
this time what he ought to do in the present con-
tingency of the public affairs of our Staoe. Since
the day he was nominated Mr.. Fassett has been
preaching what has well been called " the gospel
of good government" lie has made peculiarly
resolute and effective fight for the supremacy OF
principles which make for the well-being OF this
great Commonwealth. He has shown that I'M
less it is desirable to extend the power and inhu-
ence of Tammany Hail. it would be positive
calamity to place Roswell p. Flower in the Ex-
ecutiye Chair. And that is the cardinal issue
which is to be passed upon tomorrow. Tam
many, which is oonfessedly the most prohlgate,
corrupt and inefficient political organization with
which our country ever was cursed, not satished
with bOssing the metropolis is anxious to get the
entire State in its selfish and remorseess clutch
Shall Tammany have its WayP Snail the legtl-
mate successor of the infamous Tweed ring be
given an opportunity of extending It's system OF
extravagant maladministration to what it would
style the hayseed" counties Other considera-
tons are involved in the election, but this is the
overshadowing one, in comparison with which the
rest are of small account.
The result of the great campaign OF education
ends in victory for the Republicans and those
associated with them in their fight against Tam
many. 1t only remains that they should reap
it by placing a full vote in the ballot-box to-
morrow. That is the one great duty which is
still to be discharged. 1t must be discharged
thoroughly. TO the end that it may be, we ven
ture TO call upon every pubic-spirited Republican
who reads these lines to devote all OF to-day and
TO- morrow or as much OF them as he can possibly
spare from business, to the work of getting voters
to the polls who in case they are not looked after,
may stay at home. Let no ballot be lost for the
Republican ticket which might have been saved
If the proper effort had been made. Mr. Fassett
has done his part, the Republican press and inde-
pendent newspapers have done theirs, the State
and county committees have left. no stone un-
turned, the campaign speakers have met the best
expectations only one thing more is needed-the
most important thing of ALA full Republican
vote We can get it out if we take pains to do so.
Fellow Republicans, set apart to-day and to-
morrow for patriotic service in behalf OF New
York State and New-Yo rk City. Then what a
love-feast we shall have on Wednesday, from
Long Island to Buffalo! A Republican Gov
ernor, Republican State officials, Republican
Senate, a Republican Assembly-all these can be
secured tomorrow. And in securing them we
shall be rendering the great body of the people OF
our State an nestimable service. 1t is matter
of public record that Republican rule in New
York has been characterized by honesty economy
and etiiciency-qualities which have never char
acterized Tammany. The stake is great one,
SO great that every member of the party may
well feel inspired to do whatever his hands find
to do with all his might during the brief time that
remains.
