Don't waste all your Ktrength on parades. Wanners, bonfires, oannon and torchlilit rocessions are very well in their way, mt thoy don't niako votéis. ïhoy only amus(! the men who would vote for your andidate anyhow. 2. Don't rely too mueh iipon pnllic meetngs. They aro one-sided aftairs, whioh acither develop your strength nor iuflunce theflollowers of the oppositc party. 3. Don't rely too much vpon circulara. "cry few votors read theui. Thoy are sed for kindling and shuving pupur. Sesides, the Grant party has abused tho ystem to such an uxtuut that a man dis;rusts whatover ooiucs to him in that lnipc. 4.

With energetic and well directed effort' our victory in November is ceitain ; but the prize will be snatched from our hands if wo do not rouse ourselves in season." To all which wo would add: If you havo not already subscribed to your local and State paper do so at once, and get your neighbor to do the same. No cunipaign document is so eífectivo as a good newsptiper. - Fret l'ress. - - Tho Demócrata and Liberal Republicana of Missouri havo united on a State ticket, with Silas Woodson, Democrut, for ""vernor.
