Although the Republicans have a most excellent ticket, “from stem to gudgeon,” there is no better nor more deserving man upon it than Charles Hanley, the candidate for con ity sheriff. His character is irreproachable, his qualifications are excellent, bis temper is most genial and accommodating, and he is also a true-blue Republican and always has been. The mean falsehoods and slanders that his opponents have been circulating in regard to him should only be an addec reason why Republicans shoulc give him their undivided support. Snch dirty methods cant be too crnshingly rebuked

Before feat yea know perfectly how to vote next Tuesday. The law has been much changed.

Mr. Bates says the Democrats in this county have no money, but they evidently know where it is, when they need it For instance we have positive information that a young Republican of Marion tp., declares that a prominent Democrat of Rensselaer told him “there was *lO in it” if ho would stay away from the polls on election day. To hire Republicans to stay away from the polls, or to move and lose their right to vote, are two of the principal methods the Dems and Feopo-Dems are working this year. Another plan is to hire, or to try t t hire, Republicans of supposed influ nee to work the People's “party racket. That’s where the *SO and *IOO lamps go to.

Above all things, Republicans %e sure that you know how to vote, and be sure th&t your Republican neighbor knows also. The last Democratic legislature made great changes in the law, and the changes were made in their interest Belying upon the well known proclivity of Bepablioaos to “scratch” and of Democrats to “vote’er straight” they have so mixed up and changed the method of voting a mixed tioket feat a

very large per oent of such votes will be thrown out as illegal. They also count upon the superior discipline and vigilance of fee Democratic organization to have feeir voters more thoroughly drilled and instructed upon the methods of voting than are the Bepublicans, If Republicans are not vigilant and energetic, the changes in fee voting law will rarely result greatly to their disadvantage.

On page 867 es the Senate journal is recorded fee final vote on fee tax law. The question was, “shall the bill pass?” A majority vote against fee bill then would have killed it, then and there. Senator Gilman voted against it, then as always. On page 939, 80l fee same jonmal, is recorded ■on of the re- <’ commit too -3 concurred against tlmi

Of course it was to be 'expected that the Dt-m crUs ab! F•s Detuo rats would try to disouttW the effect of the grand Republican demonstration on October 25th, by lying about atid. b«-pttleing il Inhere are some men engaged in circulating these ridiculous and aboard lies however, tn Rensselaer and its vicinity,whom people would naturally suppose would have too much self-respect to engage in such a disreputable badness, especially when their statements are so palpably and grossly false. The statement that the Republicans spent an enormous sum upon the rally is the first falsehood. It cost no more than anypnbHc demonstration of that magnitude and magnificent character would necessarily cost. And every cent of such was voluntarily contributed. Lies, absolute aud unqualified, are every statement to the effect that people were hired tomttend or that they were furnished their railroad tickets, or any other similar inducements were offered. The Monticello artillery corps consisting of 15 m«n were of course paid for their time in attending, and for their expenses in transporting their guns. Some of the bands of music -were paid* for their services as vroa right and proper; some being paid by the Rensselaer committee and some by the delegations which fesgf accompanied. Other than these there was no one paid f>r attending the rally. It was a grand, voluntary out-pouring >f the people, in futherance of a cause which their consciences and intelligence tells them is right. Prizes were offered for large and fine delegations it is true, but the fact that every competing delegation voluntary expended, from money by themselves contribute d four or five times the money vai n of any prize they could hope tc win, in decorating their delegn. tions, is sufficient evidence nol only that they were not hired t attend but that they were glad ti pay for the privilege of atteudii.g m the interest of a cause they le lieve is right

Why does ou r much este mea Democratic friend, N. 8. Bat s, become so wrathful because The Republican makes public the fact that probably the Jasper County snare of the Democratic campaign fund is now being distributee.? And why does he, because he h their county chairman, appear u< think that he is the whole , hi yj in his own person, and take id meat made about the part..? Why, when The Republican gives publicity to the various, seemingly well founded, rumors that the Democratic oampaign fund is be-

ing circulated, should Mr. bate* assume at once, that he and none other is charged with circulating it? There are a good many men who will put themselves to a good deal of trouble to find something to be insulted about and Mr. Bates is evidently a gentleman of that order of temper. Aud even if we had, as he alleges, said that he had giyen *9O campaign money to a person, (which we did net sayby the way) why should he necessarily conclude feat we are charging him wife using the money or having it nsed, in an unlawful or corrupt manner? Is the Demo cratic party of Jasper county really so entirely given over to iniquity feat to assert that the managers are distributing campaign funds is tantamount to charging them with using it corruptly? There are many Ways for using campaign funds that are not corrupt, but it might almost be ooncluded feat Mr. Bates does not recall of any of those ways in Democratic politics or he would not have been so pre cipitate in Considering himself slandered at the bare intimation feat fee Jasper Gonnty Democracy had its share of the Democratic campaign fund and feat somebody was handing it around among the local agents.

We really did not know that fee. jarty had fallen to snoh a state -hat to say feat it had money wh« the same saying that it was trying to corrupt voters, but perhaps Mr Bates is better informed on fee “true inwardness” of Jasper county Democracy than we are.
