Culp. no faith in eleventh hour slanet afloat by the opposition. <• ; Y me meant only to deceive, and ■ 1 receive the severest condemn of every honest voter. 11 -day a report was put in circu'' i. that the Democratic Central < ittee of this county had been i ! .. ;iedsl,soo by the Liquor League. All lie! The committee has not re- ( : d a cent except from the locfj ites. Let the base falsehood be nr iled, and who would circulate it ■>e treated as a common liar! Tur Republican is exceedingly tame this week, but it will behove all to be on the alert. What may have been excluded from the paper, may be set afloat in the form of secret circulars. Guerilla waifare is perfectly under stood, uniformity practiced by the opposition. Look out for them! Be not decaived. It is amusing and instructive Jto witness the efforts of the Republican “bosses” at “whipping in.” It is evidently a bad year. O-hi-o! Sunday last one of these dictatorial presumptinos tried it on. . With a wise look, and shake of his head, he made the dictatorial demand, but wag Instantly thunderstruck and dumbfounded at the independence of his opponent. He was promptly invited to go to h—ades.

Tse “bosses” clow hot and cold the same breath. They oppose Hoover because they claim he opposed Hall-, oran’s licease, and they denounce him because, as they ssy, he coes not show his colors on the prohibition question They denounce Nowels because he is a t mperance man in principle and practice, and then they claim that he is truckling to saloon keepers for their votes. They are certainly in a quandary. The cost of the new jail was increased from ths necessity of giving th<' republican candidate for Auditor, Mr. Robinson, a sinecure position th' reon—Over four dollars per day—an t hib time, so far as we can notice, dt \ <»ted to electioneering, A praotlcal builder informs that his appoint* mint is uncalled for—that an expert, alter the building is erected—with specifications in his hand, for less than $lO could furnish the Board of « i mmissioners with all the information Mr. B. w ill give them.

Tub Republican insinuated that M . Nowels values the vote of a sa loon keeper at $5. Admit it—lie a ii is for the sake of argument. A pi mincnt Republican informs us that in one day, he saw Mr. Robinson take thir y different men into a saloon. No doubt he chuckled -“thirty votes!—a drink a vote!!” But then Mr. R. will open his eyes to learn that many of these men—(“bummers” he calls them)—do not consider they have sold their vote when they accept an invitation to drink. A prominent Republican in Rens* selaer the other day, summed up the composition Of the ticket and the plattorm of his party thus: “Whiskey candidates on a Temperance plat form. Whew! we are going to the Lordy” Democrats have not drawn such a contrast of the situation. The “bosses” are urgiag the election of thetr ticket on the ground that their candidates are men who “ will take advice,”—that is—“manage the affairs of the county that it will be profitable to them. Nichols is urged for Commissioner, because “he would take advice." But the people want men who will act upon their honest judgment and oaths, in the interest of the people. Vote for Gray.
