MED by the french horn quartette WAS
among the best and enthusiastic ally

pleased with his reception here, and
said that if the people wished they

to one hundred members and otherwise
improved. another season, an announce

there are any Republicans in this city eligi-
Bile to vote here, who have not yet regis
tered we cannot too strongly urge upon
them the importance of doing 50 at
once. The law requires voters to
appear personally before the board
and the highest success of the Repub-
lican party at the approaching election
renders it imperative that all of its MEM
bers should conform promptly to this
requirement. Let there be no delay in this
matter, but let every Republican who has a
right to have his name upon our voting lists,
and has not had it placed there, attend to
the matter at once and thereby further the
interests of his party.

The Democratic party has had great
deal to say about the war tariff, Now
every intelligent citizen in the land, who
has taken the trouble to inform himsclf on
the subject. knows that there IL, at the pres
enr time. no such thing as war tariff :
The period covered by that tariff closed in
1872 whom IN. average rate Of duty GA
imports, which had been q per cent. was
reduced to q per cent. The average rate
ON total imports under the Mckinley law is
twenty five per cent. or about one.half the
rate in force during the War tariff
period. Under such circumstances the
utter dishonesty of the Democratic attempt
to make the voters of this country believe
that the tariff of the war period is still in
vogue will he readily apparent. II is GER
tainly shaky cause that feels Obliged to
bolster Itself up by misstating facts of
history readily accessible To any enc who
desires to investigate them.
