What would be the result of another Democratic victory and what could we expect of a Democratic Government? We would have free coinage of silver at 16 to 1, irredeemable paper money, and a low, or free trade tariff. If you want these things, vote the Democratic ticket. John M. Palmer, who was the candidate of the gold democrats for President two years ago. has written a letter denouncing the heresies of the Democratic party and declaring that he considers it the duty of every sound money democrat to vote for sound money candidates only. He will vote for

the Republican candidate for Congress in his district. CM ; 11 1111 .. ‘There will be three" tickets for the voter to cast at the coming election. The state ticket, printed on pink paper, the township ticket, printed on yellow paper, and the county ticket printed oh white paper. To exercise your sovereign power correctly, when the poll official places in your hand these three ballots, take the state ticket and with the blue pencil provided make a cross (x) within'the large circle containing the eagle, .then take tip the yellow sheet and do' likewise, and finally pay your best respects to the county ticket. To be absolutely certain of making no mistake in voting for county officers we advise every Republican in Jasper county to make only one cross on his ballot and that within the large circle wherein the proud bird of freedom soars. When you have thus marked the ballots carefully fold each one separately so tjiat the initials of the poll clerks will appear outside and present them to the inspector who will deposit each in a ballot box of their respective color. You can then retire from the room feeling that your duty has been conscientiously accomplished and the best imterests of the nation, the state, the county and the township fully subserved.
