TIE PEARCE TICKET.

Such am sorry to say is the real charac,
ter of the falsely called Republican, Ad
minstraton and Farmers Prox." Farmer,
indeed! There are but one or two farmers
in the whole Prox |! |! 1t is composed almost
entirely, as it is very natural that Pearct
Pror should be, of q TRADERS car
demonstrate that every man on that Prox, u
elected, will vote for Dutee j. Pcarce for U
s. Senator next Fall. Every man on that
ticket roted for Pearce last August, and de-
nounced those of US democrats who would
not consent longer to be made the play
things of that dangerous demdgogW.
/ Every man on that ticket is thorough
going Pcarce man. Let us sec who they are
whom Mr.. Pcarcc has selected to serve as
the rounds Of the ladder by which he hopes
to climb up to the Senate of the United
States next October? The first is the can
didatc for Governor, Mr.. John Brown Fran.
CTS. Docs any freeman doubt that MIR. Fran
els is n Pcdrce man and will use his Influence
if elected, to have Mr.. Pearce elected to tie
/ u. s. Senate ? Did he not 60 into different
towns to electioneer for Pearcc last August
and did he not vote for him on town meeting
day? Has lie not since August last, writer
letter to high official dlgnitary at Wash
ington, stating that O. something must b
done for Mr. Pearce !" II Governor Francis
will deny under his own signature that he
has so written, | will be more particular and
refresh his memory upon the subject. Has
not Governor Francis said that his object in
being u candidate was to mid Mr. Pearce's
election to the U. S. Senate?
The next is D. B. Thurston, the candidate
| for Lieut.. Governor. lie also was very busy
in the cause of Pcarce last fall, and votcC
for him. lA is n whole hog Pearce man, as
every freeman in Washington county, who
| is acquainted with him, will attest.
| With Mr.. Richmond Bullock, the candi
date for first Senator, Mr.. Pcarce boastcd IL
Congress in 1884, that he was connected by
family ties.
Old Mr.. John D'NVolf the second Senator
Duice J. Pearce has always managed, and il
his feeble and superb onnuated state, who cal
expect that he will cludc the tolls Of tha,
willy politician. lie too voted for Pearcc in
August last.
Mcssrs Sphinx, Tompkins, Spencer, Ar.
mold, Wilbur, and Wcathcrhcad, arc the
personal and political friends Of Poorce-a
voted for him last fall, and are known to fee
strong interest in his election to the Sen
ate of the United States.
Thomas S. Taylor is also connected with
Mr.. Pearcc by marriage, and is warm
friend, personal and political, Of that gentle
man.
The last, but by no means the least, comes
the 10th Senator, Mr.. Henry 3. Mansfield
Mr.. Mansfield is very peculiarly situated IN
relation to Mr. Pcarcc. Mr.. Mansfield is a
large mail contractor under the Government,
and is enjoying several fat contracts obtained
through the aid of Mr.. Pearcc, who for years
has been his confidential correspondent
Should Mr.. Mansfield be elected, and be
permitted, without rclinqushng his con.
tracts under the General Government, Ia
take his scat ut the Senate Board, can any
man doubt that he would vote for Mr. Pcarco
for United States Senator?
/ Here then VIC have candidates for Govern
or and Lieut. Governor and all the condi.
dates for Senators, the strong personal and
political friends Of Mr.. Dutcc j. Pcarce-all
