have always proved equal To the emei-

ONE THING NEEDED.
There Is but one thing needed. That
one Thing must be well and faithfully
done, viz: TO see that every vote Is cast
before the polls close. There are enough
Democratic votes IN our district 10 IN
sure our gallant leader triumphant &c
torya But these votes must be cast, they
must reach the ballot-box and be count

spared neither time nor labor, but have
TO man put aside personal interests and
have labOred with noble iidelty 10 duty
for their party. They have sought 30
strengthen the weak places In the Demo

have waged a constant warfare with that
most insiduous enemy OF Democracy
General apathy. But their efforts must
prove futile. unless they receive the earn
est and enthusiastic cooperation and
support Of every Democrat in the city.
The question has been asked, what work
Is now most needed? There will be an
urgent need on the day of election, a
every precinct in the city, for active and
energetic young men To bring out the
tardy votes. Young Democrats sacrifice
one day To your party. There will also
be an especial need for volunteer work
ers in jackson Ward From ten 10
twenty of the best young men In the city
should be at every precinct In THIS
Ward from the opening TO the closing Of
the polls.
NO EXCUSES,
There are many laboring men who say
they are poor; that their wages are small,
and that they cannot afford TO lose the
time TO vote There should not be any
