To the Wings of Washington Co.

Ae clearly appears from the foregoing article,
you are fairly entitl to all the comfy officers.
On fair trial with regular party organizations,
you could have elected your whole ticket last
year. You were prevented last year BY Goa
litlon devised by Eastman g. Co. This year an
other coalition was effected in part: still there
were some of your candidates who had fair
chance. This chance iods ruined by Eastman g.
Co., through coalition toith WING opponsnfs oC
the Liquor Line. In this state of things, Demo
Gratis, Freesoilers, and Wings, who were DISCUS
ted with this management, met and offered YOU
ticket embracing three of your nominees
You can elect them if you will. VIII YOU do it
You may fairly ask whether your obligations to
the wing party admit this course. We answer
that ,ohigs, who attended and took part in the
regular wing convention, and who were bound
| by il precisely as much as you were, hare aban
doned your ticket and attempted not only 10 defeat
Il, Jd 10 Ebert three Of the opposing candidates. -
In word, they have rendered the success of the
whg ticket impossible they have paralyzed the
party in the county and hat is infinitely worse,
they have endeavIred to use the wing party as
a lever to raise 10 office three run democrats
Moody, Richardson and Sessions Let us not
be misunderstood. The wings who went into
the rum Convention are quite willing that you
should stick to the ticket which they have abnn-
doned. They wish tit Is part of the rum plan,
and for this reason; if the wings stick to their
regular ticket, the iehoie chig tickft ,oW be dejea
ted, and the three locoioco rummes will be E.
ected. They will secure locofoco State SEN
tor to vote for the repeal of the Liquor Law
and States Attorney and Sheriff to execute
the law as they irish, if it ID not repealed. Now,
brother wings, count the cost.
Frst-lou countenance the treachery of
those wings who first attended the wing conven-
ton, and subsequently got mp the rum ticket.
Seoondiy-Nou countenance spirit of disor-
organization which hereafter may be as fatal to
you Os 1t will be this year, if you do not defeat
IT.
Thirdly You suffer three of your own regu
larry nominated candidates to be defeated
[ -Four Mg-Iou secure the election of three
run democrats one ofIhem to the senate, there
to 90 not for reasonable notifications of the Il
quor law, but for unconditional repeal. or else %
be traitor 10 the runmies-in any event TO be
hostile IN every respect TO the wing party
Such Is the cost OF abiding by the regular
wing ticket
Now com. he gain, if you defea, the cunning
ly devised plan u your enemies; you gam Sens-
tor, who, though not wing cannot but feel that
he owes his election IN part to wing votes. and
that ne is bound to treat you fairly and literally,
to the utmost extern! that faithlulness to his own
party will allow hun. You gain also man who
Will stand on reasonable ground as TO the Liquor
Law. You gain wing states Attorney, wing
Sheriff, and whg BsiliH The Patriot alleges
that you gain TOO much. We think not and
what IS more, the highly respectable democrats
and ireesoiers, who took part in the Law and
Order Convention, think not. I hey know and
acknowledge tina, the wing party in Washington
Ccunty has equal claims. Why should anu .rhig
be content with less-with defeat of his ,rhsie
ticket, and defeat by rums
