The perpetuation and prosperity of the Government, if nothing more terim*, dependt upon the issue of thit question. Let Congrers do justice and stand by the Right. Let the hard j/an stickler for a gold basis remember that there are other ewhtors of the Nation than the botidholder—those *rho have periled their lives to save the Union, who are to-dat, demanding not gold redemption, but that jewel which is above ati price, the redemjAi#* of right end justice, the protection of labor and industry, Hie equality of the lavs for all, ri*h and poor alike.—HON.

DOX'T trade off any body on the Republican ticket next Tuesday.
THE candidates on the Republican ticket are all good men. Don't trade one of them off. I^et us have a fair and «quare fight.
DON'T throw away a vote by casting it for Stoddard for Auditor. Either Simpoon or Watson will be the next Auditor of Montgomery county.

EVEN some of the Reformers will •cratch Stoddard. And there are not over a thousand Reformers in the county, all told. The men who vote for him will have no voice in the selection of Auditor.
TBDDY BROWN, Republican candidate for Clerk, has not made and will not conneut toany arrangemeut by which he is to get votes at the expeuse of any body else on the ticket. All stories concerning any such arrangement are totally unfounded.

It is queer that men calling them- just elected has a Democratic majority of selves Reformers and making extraordi- '205 on joint ballot. There are only 14 nary professions of honesty will resort to Republican members in both branches, such misrepresentations to bolster up their cause.
No voter who wants to put his Fallot where it will do good should cast it for the Reform ticket. Every vote thus cast will be wasted. There are good men on the ticket, but the men on the Republican ticket are equally as irood in every respect, and stand some show of beinsr elected besides.
THK contest for Auditor is between j.Simpson and Watson. Voters who desire to have a hand in the election will I not cast a vote for Stoddard. Every "vote so cast will be lost. Stoddard is one of the weakest candidates on the Reform ticket, a«d not a man on thai ticket will come within (500 votes of being elected.

McOcMiakl and Voorhees for the U. S. Senate. Such a tight would be extremely in le rest inn and would most probably be Terv profitable to Governor Hendrkks, who has a way of winning without much apparent eflort.

CHRIS WALKI'I*, the leadidg Reformer of Walnut township, is telling it around among his neighbors that Judge Tlxxnas was nominated and elected by a ring of Jawyers and officers who regarded him as a pliant tool who could be induced to make almost any kind of allowances, and that the Judge has turned out just as they expected, having recently allowed Sheriff Si dener $1,800 tor extra services. So far as Judge Thomas is conI ccmed he is just the reverse of all this,

1IO W IMP ROB ABLE IT IS. At the election in 1872 there were 5,708 votes in this county. Allowing for a full vote this year, it will be seen that the Reformers can not expect to accomplish anything unless they can poll more than 1,900 votes. There can be no prob-, ability of any such result unless every man whose opinion is ordinarly worth anything is grossly deceived. Let us figure a Hilly and see how improbable this result is. Giving their ticket one half the votes of Sugar Creek, Madison, Franklin and Walnut townships two thirds in Clark and Scott one third in Brown and Ripley 50 in Wayne. K0 in Coal Creek and 200 in Union, they would then have a total vote of only 1,757, or 150 less than would be neces.-a-rv to make the election of any of their ticket possible. In this estimate we have supposed it possible for them to poll 1,757 votes. But such a supposition is hardly reasonable. It is more likely that it will fall below 1,000 than it will exceed 1,200.
