HEADQUARTERS iTi GONG DIST
REP. Con-, Hartford. Oct st, %
To the Republicans of the 9TH Con-
gressional DISTRICT
The only possible chance for defeat
to overtake our standard bearer in
the contest, which ends next Tuesday,
is failure to poll the full Republic.
can vote Of the district. The utter
disregard of the Democratic party
for most Its pledges, and the wide
spread ruin and woe inflicted upon
an innocent people by its bungling
attemps to inaugurate whatits states.
men are pleased to call tariff REFORM"
have brought to our ranks hundreds
of recruits, good menin every county
who love country more than party,
who as business men, farmers, labor.
ers and mechanics have felt the with.
ering effects OF Democratic supremacy
and who are no longer willing to aid,
by their votes, the gaunt spec,er Of
want to go abroad in land Of plenty
While the election Of a Republican
House OF Representatives. SO much
desired this year, may not at once
bring back the prosperous days of g,
it will at least stop Democratic tariff
tinkering and restore confidence While
it may not at once reinstate the good
prices which formerly ruled for to.
ba.co, wheat, wool, sheep. horses,
mules, and cattle, it will prevent a
futher reduction and rebuke the party
responsible for the uuheard oilow
prices OF all these a;ti ,lei.
We must no. for a moment suppose
that the present Representative from
this district can be defeated without
continuous and hard work. In his
ace heretofore, both before the PEG.
PIE and for Democratic nomination,
he has shown himself INSCRIPTIONS in
manipulating the machine at his back :.
His corrupt methods operate against
persons OF his own political faith as
we'll as others who stand in the path Of
his ambition. We have many re asons to
believe that his paid emissaries are
now distributing money through tn is
district from fortune whica the peo-
pie have given him, by four terms in
congress, to corrupt the ballot and
secure Ills reelection, Money flows
like water, at his call, from bank
and from the great whiskey trust, for
which he has labored as an attorney
would for clinet. A herd Of office
holders stand ready t. do his bidding
and nothing will be left unione to re-
tain his power. r
In all his career as a congressman
he has never supported nor originated
a measure of general benefit to his
district, and while posing as the per-
sonal friend of the soldier, he has
managed to vote against every gen.
eral pension law enacted during his
lour terms.
Mr.. Lewis is a man of the people.
He is controlled by no political ma
chine and retained by no trust. He
is clean handed and III ability will
rank with any man on the Il DOT OF the
next House. He stands for the ele.
walton of American laborers. A
vote for him is vote for the revival
Of stagnant business in every Ii me,
and an increase in the price of farm
commodities, a vote for the breaking
up OF the corrupt ring which has so long
dominated our district, aud rebuke
to the party OF incompetency.
Mr.. Lewis has made a brilliant
canvass and won his race, but the
full Republican vote must be polled
and we must be alert for election eve
tricks which will be sprung by des.
perate enemy. In word we must
stand by our guns.
