tion ofthat gentleman.
How does it look then, for such nondes-
cripi aad fabIisator, to arraign,try and condemn
men, who took their post early in the morning
and remained at it until night, fighting for the
ticket, the whole ticket and nothing but the
ticket: If this is the mode which men, adopt to
piuck iaursfs from good mans drom, it may
be considered fortunate for every man who
comes before III" people tor Office, if he has

and where the past record sl ,ws from 80 TO 100

has given large majority against hlns This
looks bad for the fidelity OF this Sir democratic
King. How does it happen too, that this gentle

County How does it h,pp"n too, that he got
but vote in the strong dem cra;ic Township of
Cascade How does it happen that he
runs behind his ticket IN jones County How
does i, happen that he runs far behind his ticket
in Gutenberg, a strong d-mocratic town?
These are pertinent questions, when we re-
feet that tits in these places, that Mahony pre-
tends to exercise potent influence. In view of

le; that either Judge Clark's pretcated speci-
al friends, hsvehcea playing false with him.,
that the people have confidence in them, and
their exrr,ions for man, only renders his

Ther,. is another fact too worthy ofa pass
ing notice. Why was it that our Representa-.

cause the influence of The Dubuque Herald was

Agreeing in opinion with nine tenths of the
democracy Of this county, we had no strong
personal or political attachment for Judge Clark
but for the sake of The principles of our party,
we voted for the man and used every effort in
our power to secure his election; and let it be
borne in mind, that the very men, who are ac
