known in this country.


A SPECIMEN CANVASS TO CONDUCTED
That the most unmstskable language IS to be used
during tho balance OF the campaign oreshadowed by
an addross which the Hoar has just issued and
which is now being extensively circulated throughout
tho district. It begins by justiiying tho bolt from
Buffers nomination on tho ground that he is not
loyal and earnest on ali tho issues, and
that his character is not an absolute guarantee
Of fidelity to every public trust His financial Views
are then discussed and denounced, after which con-
siderable space used to show that, rcformer he
is nothing less than perfect sham. Tho matter OF
how he controls and corrups public officials where no
can IL alluded TO in language more emphatic the
choice and further claimed that he has constantly
been at war with the principles and policy Of the
publican party, and that he has often been repudatcd
by the moral Of tho country As the address
approaches tho end it becomes decidedly personal,
declaring that


HIS CAREER HAS BEEN TRACKED BY WRECKS
ana his creed speak, the opposite Of that OF the
party OF which he, for somc reasons best known to
himself still continues call himself member.
And IN all these Of his failures ard the rejec
ton OF schemes By his party the fault has not been
intellectual but moral Certain very bad qualities and
very bad political habits have made his name kind OF
byword for everything that good disinterested and
patriotic mon abhor aud fear
