AS our local Republican friends
are claiming the earth, they will sure
ly not object to paying for the ga
lorious news which they feel sure
they will get next Tuesday night.
They can get the dispatches through
The Herald for $500; through any
other source, the dispatches will cost
$4,000 or more. Now, gentlemen,
call at the printing Office and depos-
it the "spondulix." If Cox wins, we

AS the ballot is about a yard long
and contains hundred names, it
will take time to mark and vote it
correctly; and, as nearly, if not fully
five hundred men and women will
wish to vote at the local polls it is
important that every one should go
to the polls early and vote as quickly
as possible. The law allows only FIVE
for marking the ballot; and
as the days are short, all voters will
have to be prompt and Industrious to
get through in time.
