It was pretty hard case. Ernest Rensch
kept store and lived alone in Alpine county,
California He shut up shop and went all
the way to San Francisco afoot to get a
wife. He found a woman that suited him,
married her and took her out into the AL
pine region. In just eleven days Mrs
Rensch left his bed and board, and went to
live with Erick Erickson, Renscll's friend.
Erickson jol<ed with Rensch in a friendly
manner about the family incident. and was
very much obliged to Rensch for going to
San Francisco and bringing him out such a
nice, good-looking companion. Rensch
could not bear it any longer, SO one day he
took q gun and shot Erickson to death in
his own saloon, firing through the window.
Rensch then gave himself up to the author

Jail where he was, to some plaeeto be tried,
one day lately, and a party of masked men
rode up and demanded the prisoner. They
took him and hing him to bridge beam
until he was dead, and now the woman has
nobody to lean upon. Rensch was Dane
and Erickson and Mrs. Rensch were both
Swedes, and had national affinity which
caused all the trouble.

Few farmers can appreciate the real value

Of it without the possibility OF their making

and estimate their cost at your leisure,
instead Of spending half a day Of valuable
time in surveying the land itself. Any
person with little ingenuity and patience
can draw map OF his farm. 1t should

An hours quiet talk with a luke
warm neighbor will do more to arouse
him to an earnest support Of the Re-
publican party than a dozen stump
speeches. Mass impart en-
.tbusiasm to organized bodies and keep
them active in the good work, but a
personal canvass by the right kind
of men makes converts and thus adds
to party strength. Every town should
have its Republican organizations.
Men of character, those who possess
the entire confidence of the communi.
ty, should be the leaders and workers
in these organizations. Meetings
should be held at least once a week
from now until the election. A thor.
ough canvass should be had of the
voters in the district. The politics OF
every man should be known. This
can be done by subdivisions email
enough to enable those appointed to
make complete personal canvass.
The strength of the party should be
known. Every vote should be brought
out at the polls. Our leaders should
work from now until the close of the
ballot-box as if the success of the par
ty depended on just one vote. This is
the way to win great victories. To
remain inactive, presuming on the
popularity of the ticket or the former
strength of the party is to invite de.
feat. We can not have too large a
majority, we may through inactivity
lack one vote of a triumph. Organi-
zation, hard work, devotioc to the
good cause for which we labor will
crown our efforts with success. The
House of Representatives must be
kept in loyal hands. To lose control
of it is TO again expose the life of the
deadly assaults of its enemies. II is
the key TO the political position aud
must be held by the friends of freedom
and humanity.

RUSSELL ERRErT, EsQ.


DEAR SIR:-
In the
iron manufacture, which is the mos;
important business of our State, there
is great depression, and we can moi
look fer good times till it revives, fol
all other business interests depend up
on it. 1t employs the miners by con.
suming ores and creating a demand
for fuel, it freights our railroads, and
makes a market for farm products
The workmen in our mines and mills
and furnaces are the chief consumers
of domestic goods, and it is because
they are unemployed and unable to
buy that our woclen and cotton iacto-
ries have reduced time of work, cut
down wages, and stopped production.
This again reacts disastrously upon
the coal trades, upon the railroads, the
manufacturers Of chemicals and dye
stufis, and upon all other industries.


When wages in the iron trade are
high and work plentiful, every other
business is prosperous, and this is true
mot only of our own State but also of
the whole country. The financial
panic of September, 1873, crippled or
stopped the railraid and other enter
prises which consume iron, and the re-
suit was general paralysis of busi-
ness. We should have recovered from
it before this if there was no foreign
interference with our industries, if the
home market was reserved, as it should
be, for the labor of our own people.


Our chief trouble is that in England
there has been such a great reduction
in the wages Of miners and of work
men in iron and other industries,
and such an immense decline in the
prices of English goods, that, during
the past year we have had constant
ly falling market, which has forced
successive reductions of prices and
wages here, and has made buyers hold
off and wait until the bottom would
be reached. / think that this point
has been reached and that demand
will spring up, and our labor will be
employed again with gradual in
crease of wages if we can retain the
duties upon foreign goods enacted by
a Republican Congress for the protec.
tion of home industry. 1t is enough
to take merely one or two items from
our tariff laws, to show how important
they are to us at this time, and what a
calamity their repeal would be to the
country.

A short time is left for active work.
Is it being improved by our friends
throughout the countryP Success or
failure depends on the answer. Organ.
ization and work will secare brilliant
victory. To neglect either is to in.
vite defeat. We have an INSCRIPTIONS
enemy to deal with. A long series of
defeats have made our opponents des-
perate, and taught them the necessity
of thorough union of all opposing
elements. Anything to defeat the
Republican party" is their motto. To
meet these combinations require vigil
lance, activity, and organization ON
our part. Let every loyal man be at
his post of duty on the day of elec-
ton. A full vote for the Republican
ticket secures its triumph, and this
means, in plain English, the triumph
of law and order over the common enc
my Of both.

The Republican party saved the ma.
ton from destruction. The Demo

The Republican party raised the
means and men to defend the nation.
The Democratic party did all it could
to discourage both.


The Republican party gave the

The Democratic party is opposed to il.


The Republican party abolished
slavery. The Democratic party fought
hard to save it.


The Republican party has protected
the interests of labor. The Democratic
party has exposed it to injury.


The Republican party believes in
the protection of American citizens in
the full enjoyment of every Constitu.
tional right. The Democratic party
believes that Government has no right
to exercise its authority for the pro.
lection of citizenship within the limits
of State.


The Republican party believes in
freedom of speech, freedom of opinion,
a free press, and q free ballot. The
Democratic party believes in accord.
ing this freedom if used in its behalf,
but denies it when opposed to its in.
huence.


The Republican party has been
tried for the past thirteen years by
the severest test ever applied to a par
ty and stands to-day as true to the
causes of liberty and humanity as
when it came into power in 1861. The
Democratic party has been tried in O
few States and has been found want.
ing in the essential elements Of pros
perity, loyalty, honesty. ability.


In word, the Republican party be.
lieves in progression, and is pledged
to the elevation of the nation by the
elevation its citizens. 1t is opposed to
prescription, persecution, bigotry. It's
creed is the greatest individual free.
dom compatible with the safety of the
Republic. Liberal in its principles,
humane in its measures thoroughly
loyal in all its purposes, and firm in
its resolves to maintain the Union at be-
fore all hazards and any cost, it stands
the world the enemy of wrong, the
friend of justice, the protector of the
weak, the patron Of labor, the great
defender of nations honor, aud the
trusted guardian of the liberties of the
people. Contrast the two records;
weigh the acts of both parties; test
them by the true standard of honesty
and patriotism, and then ask the ques-
tion, Which of the two parties should
receive the support of loyal peoplet
Who can doubt the answer2 The par.
ty that is worthy of support is the one
that has never betrayed its friends or
violated its pledges.

al canvass. Now is the time to com
plete this canvass. Entrust the work
to reliable men, men who have the
confidence of their neighbors, so that
what they say or do may be relied I'D.
on. Special efforts should be put forth
to see every doubtful voter and i'm.
press upon him the Importance of the
coming election. There are thousands
OF good men throughout the country
who think that their absence from the
polls will not be felt. Each one saws
to himself "my vote will not missed, :"
and thus in the aggregate enough votes
are lost to turn the tide of victory in
many closely contested districts. These
men should be seen, urged to be at the
polls, so that when ihe ballot is cast
not one vote of this character shall be
lost. There is another class of voters
equally patriotic, composed of men
who would hesitate at no reasonable
sacrifice if they deemed it necessary
to secure the election of good men, or
to save some threatened national in.
terest. Every four years they vote for
President. The eff years in politics
have no special interest to them, and
so they trust to the popularity of the
candidates, or the known strength of
the party, to secure the election.
These men should be waited upon, and
impressed with the fact that the ap.
preaching election is of no less i'm
portance than Presidential one.
Grave issues hang on the result. 1t
will decide the question whether the
House of Representatives is to pGss
into the hands of those who have
proven enemies to the Republic, or he
retained in the hands of those who
have proven its strongest friends. To
allow the House to pass into Demo.
cratic hands would be little short of
a national calamity. 1t is true that
with the Senate Republican and the
Executive in sympathy with the loyal
element, the House would be powerless
to legalize any dangerous legislation.
But is would possess the power to block
the wheels of government, to stop all
needed legislation, defeat necessary
appropriations, and effectually veto
any effort to execute the laws of the
land against those who should organ
ize to defy them. There is no limit to
the evils which might flow from the
House of Representatives under the
control of Democracy. This possible
yet not probable danger should be
presented to all good citizens, and ev.
cry man who has the welfare of the
nation at heart should~be called upon
to lend his aid in keeping from the
Republic even the shadow of SO great
danger. The nations credit, its sys-
tenn of currency, its securities, its good
faith as pledged in its public measures,
its honor and good name both at home
and abroad, demand the retention in
power Of the party that has been loyal
to its interests, that saved il from de.
struction, and that still holds the pow.
er to guide it safely trough the un.
known future. .-.f
