THE RECORD.
On tliis last day before the election

Flrst of all. he shouid resolve to vote
If he has lntelligence and un active
lonseienee he must realize that to
rafme or neglect ta take part in the

"In IWO the Republlcans had carrled

Mr Wiison know that the Democratic
candidate for Governor In 1SS0, although
defeated, received about 20,000 more votes
thau Mr. ("leveland received In 1SS2. and
tiiat Mr. t'leveland's big plurallty ln 18*2
waa due to the fact that the Republlcans
rofralned from voting for hts "unlmpeach?
able opponent" and that he wae elected
by default?
Thls letter muat not be conatrued as a

to ahow that Mr. Wilson In elther Igno
