The Democratic Executive Committee
in this county are now coIcocting plans
for trading votes. Lynchburg is one of
the points where they expect to do this
most effectually. They propose to offer
votes for Republican candidates in ex.
change for votes for Democratic candi-
dates. 1t is an open secret among them
selves that their own votes will never
be delivered. But, by deluding Re.
publicans into such traps, for the bene-
fit in different localities of different local
candidates on their ticket, and fulfilling
none of their own promises, they ex.
pect to elect their entire ticket. Re.
publicans, beware of this nefarious
scheme. 1t is to be attempted, and we
know whereof we speak. Don't be de.
ceived. Stand firm to your principles
and your standard bearers. There is no
need of swapping. If every Republican
stands true to his party, we have a sure
thing on the election of our entire ticket.
