Guthrie o. r., Nov. 3.-The DAY before
election liar is in the field with his tradi-
tonal false affidavit Nen managers
have seen the voters in their ranks flock
to the standard Of Dennis Flynn and in
their desperation have res0rted to the
old-time obsolete custom of sending out
lying circulars on the eve Of election and
thereby hope to line mp voters by false
hoods and MISREPRESENTATION. The fol-
lowing circular has been printed and sent
out by the Fusion committee:

and upon the most convincing testimony
there is no longer any doubt that the
Republican campaign managers have in-
STUFFED, advised and contenaced the libel
lous attacks made upon the personal
character Of Robt. A. Mem in the con-
gressionaI campaign.
