work for the coming campaign. a board
Of canvassers. under the supervision OF the

been stirred up with an appreciation OF
the fact that they have got 10 work hard

on the Ides Of November. In Manchester
tho Populists are very weak. They have
never gained much Of foot-hoid in this
city which always rolls up a good Demo
cratic majority. This city will give the
Jeffersonians something like coo majority

here where Democracy has been aroused,
and win show what they can do in behalf
of good government, and the interests Of
the people on election day.
