The Straight Quill.

[From the Washington (Iowa) Press.] The right, fit thing for Republican voters to do any year is to “vote her straight," provided fair, reputable, honest, competent men are on the ticket. But to vote her stra'ght from A to izzard this year is a paramount duty. —— ; . Strike straight from the shoulder. A straight, unssratched ticket is a plumper right lie ween the eyes. it makes a bull’s eye. Don't be wheedled and soft-soaped and honey-fugled, but ram down your kad of will and purpose with a straight, clean Republican ticket for a wad, take deliberate aim for a raking shot at every man on the opposition ticket ‘—fire!—tang! and down the game chickens will come. It should be the ambition of the Republican voters in this county to make the majority on our State, Congressional, judicial, and county tickets equal to that which will be given to Blaine and Logan. We can do it if we will; if we won’t, we shall be foolish and green. Sock the vote right home, clean along the line. Load her for bear. Aasby’s Advice to Democratic Orators. This advice, which Nasby gives in reply to an inquiring correspondent, will be found useful by Democratic orators: “Sfump-’spcaker, Smithville, Injeany—From wat I know uv the ken try you live in, I shood advocate tariff reform, with a decided lesnin to pe’teckshnn. I think yoo hev coal in yoor vicinity. and that yoor voters are largely interestid in manufaktrin. Es lam kerrect that is wat you want to do. Es, on tue other hand, I am not kerrect. and you are purely agricultrel, and yoor people are not p; rtiklerly intelligent, iasist that Dimocrisy means tariff reform with a decided leenin toward free trade. Yoo know wat yoor people want. Constroo the platform to. suit 'em. The platform was made to be constrood; omstrnktiil, in fact, so that Henry Watterson and Sam Randall can both stand on it."
