Republican Candidate for Treasurer

STONE, the knight of the Red Patch u
will not receive half vote in this county,
from his own party. His course in trying
to break down the Seneca Bank-in hold
ing back its bonds-thus giving chance
for spectators and brokers to reap gold
en- harvest by buying it up at discount
the odious and aristocratic sentiments he
expressed in regard to Mechanics, will
operate wonderfully against him.
In fact, the State ticket Of the republi-
cans is WEAK ALL THROUGH, and
we believe will be beat in Seneca 500 votes!
Of fcourse STONE win be behind everybody,
perhaps he'li get 100 votes in the county.
