What is Said, Thought, and Doing In the
| Closing Days Of the Present
| Campaign.
On next Tuesday the great battle
will be fought, and we expect next
week to announce the reelection of
President Harrison. The registration in
New York is very encouraging to the
Republicans, and Chairman Carter sends
out the word that Harrison is as good
as elected. All that remains Is to get
out the vote, and the arrangements to
get out the vote are as perfect as they
can be made, for with the vote at the
polls the Republicans are sure of sue
cess. The people want four years more
of the Harrison administration, and they
are going have it. Come out early and
vote, and then get ready to shout when
the returns come in. Harrison will carry
every Northern State, with the possible
exception of Nevada, and In addition
West Virginia promises to swing into
the Republican column. The Repub-
lieans are going to have a walk over,
and the only thing remaining is to make
1t as big as possible.
THE country is being flooded with
circulars urging Democrats to stand by
their ticket, while other circular letters
are being sent to Republican voters
begging them to vote for certain Demo-
cratic candidates for county offices.
These whining, sniveling, personal ap-
peals by Democratic aspirants are for
the purpose of gaining votes for the free
trade Democracy. They tell you vote
for them is simply personal favor, but
when you elevate these fellows to offices
they use their positions to brain every
Republican interest and every Repub-
lican candidate from President to Cor
oner. Don't be trieked by their slick
in your principles and your party.
THE much vaunted political apathy
said to prevail over the country Is more
imaginary than than real. Republican
speakers say that they never addressed
more responsive or more enthusiastic au
diences than those to which they have
spoken during this campaign. Shouting
and exploding fireworks are only the
fringes of the combat, and they are as
suredly less than formerly. Democrats
have claimed that such condition is IA
vorable to them, but it must be remem-
bered that one of the most exciting cam
paigns ever fought-the Blaine contest
in 1884 resulted in Republican defeat.
MADISON ALDREDGE, our next Audi
tor, has made striking impression ev-
cry place he has gone, and he is assured
Of good safe majority. He is man
who has always been hard worker with
both brain and hands, and he is thor
oughly equipped for any position to
which he may be called. He is man of
judgment and courage, and just the kind
needed in the Auditors Office.
JOHN SHERMAN says to vote the
head of the ticket from principle and
the tail of the ticket for discipline.
Don't scratch. If there is any man on
the county ticket whom you do not like
vote for him anyway as he is better
than his opponent. Scratching never
helps matters. However there is no
need to scratch any county candidate
this year.
OLD Belmont Will roll up at least 600
republican majority next Tuesday and
every man on the county ticket will be
elected. Just paste this statement in
your hat and compare it with the re-
turns; the Democracy are on the run and
all we have to do Is to keep them going
until election day.
M. w. q SOOU CuOlAl,
and the same is true in no less degree of
Henry NJ. Davies, the Clerk, and with
each of them one good term will get
them another. Both are certain of elec-
ton. The only question is the size of
their majorities.
T. P. HARRIS, the candidate for Re-
corder, has long been identified with the
educational interests of this county. As
a teacher he has discharged his duties
faithfully and well. AS Recorder he will
do the same. He is worthy of your vote.
CAPT. A. W. LEE wears spectacles, but
he knows stone wall when he sees it.
Vote for him, and as Commissioner no.
body can make him believe that common
everyday dirt is stone or concrete, either.
DON'T allow a single Republican vote
to stay away from the polls next Tues
day. Vote early in the day, too, and
work afterward If you must, but at all
events vote, and vote the ticket straight.
THERE remain but four good working
days until the election, not counting Sun
day, but some of the very best work Of
the campaign can be put in on election
day itself, next Tuesday.
If you are in favor Of putting sober
businesslike and competent man in the
Auditors office and of putting the other
kind out Won will lYote for Madison
