WILLIAM VAN HAMM,
WILLIAM P. MURRAY,
JOHN :. PRINCE.
FOR COUNTY AUDITOR
L. IL. CorrER
Now. W. say. this arrangement is unfair
ava ii>courteous TO Mr.. CoBB-to Mr.. VAN
Ii NM-to Mr.. MURRAY-and to Mr.. PRINCE
Are these four after named gentlemen o.
IN riJr Gay that they must thus be com
PEELED 10 take back seats on the ticket?
There is WM. p. MuRRAY-a veteran in
legislative skull dog 5ery smart as a steal trap
ami man Il cNperence-wherein is he III
teri.r to an Ex-Governor or an Ex-Mayor,
Though tiny did 30 out of office with the
unanimous nsent of the people and if h.
was d feated by a thousand majority last fall
by an independent candidate for District
Judge?
M CoBB was nominated first and though
be i hut a two-year old >etter in St. Paul
AM was an independent candidate for Alder
man against the regular party nomination IN
the T. urth Ward last spring, and though no
dy accuses HIM of knowing much about
legislation or of being likely to learn-yet is
h. not a member of the true church--is he
not surveyor General Emersons oicn man"
and Is il right to rob him of the position to
which candidates are always entitled, and
that is to be placed on the ticket IN The o,oer
t.sy reeeiued thejr nominations Move say
Indignantly No!
Then Mr.. NoN HAMM is properly entitled
to the s'cOAd place ON the ticket; and it is
an insult to the ao5le Prussian blood which
he boasts i in his veins, to make him take
the f'erh position. Is this indignity perre-
trat,d by the Pioneer because he is Germcu?
or because instead of being solder and fight
ing for Repubicanism as in lS4S, he is now
only bookseller who has deserted his prin-
ciple> for the sake Of office and ranged him
sell on the side of Human Slavery ? We
want to know.
Mr.. Murray is also fairly entitled to be
placed fhinl o0ty on the ticket, in the order in
which lie was nominated. Regularly every
fall. long "a We can remember, he has been
candidate t + some Office before the people
q St Paul: and in former times generally
got whatever he wanted But last fall he
tried 10 be District Judge but Overleaped
hi mark, and ,he consequence was an awful
tumble in W iich his heels wildly beat the air
upward, aud his mead struck the earth down
warl with Tremendous conclusion in Ii {
cerebral region. the people Oh that occasion
con,lcre that man like him who made an
Olen profession Of political diShOnesty-ol the
inacuabe right OF legislator to make all he
could for himself out of his ofiice-was not
exactly tie man to trust in the judicial couch
al an important commercial point like Saint
Paul, where case, Involving thousands wee
Often in the balance and depending for right
d,ci>i n Oh the integrity of the Judge! Thus
c. >idering in spite of the Democratic nOmi-
nation and in spite of the Democratic State
tlcke, r. ceiving over IA thousand majority in
Ramsey Cou.'y. Mr.. MURRAY was beaten "
dcci.td 10 De not honest enough to Justly
o}asmister laws, fit and proper pers t.
4.f.e them? Only last spring also in his
&C SAINT itching FOR Office, Mr.. MURRRY was
candidate tor Mayor Of the city but was
again badly flung in the attempt to ;et the
Democratic Nomination. and in recenqe, tried
to defeat the regular Democratic candidate
for Alderman IN the Sec nd Ward But all
this argues nothing against his right to the
hirl place n the Democratic ticket instea d
OF beng put next to the last as the Ponce,
. arranges it. He is as good a man at any rate
as GoRMAN or BRIsBIN, and As competent
This nobody can deny. His recent defeats
make it the greater shame ain to wound hi:
already laccrated feelings by So depreciatne
him.
Mr.. Prince, too has done nothing to de
serve such treatment as to be made the tai
tile very last bub-tail-of the Democratic
kite. We know it will be urged by the Pi
oneer that when this gentleman was in tic
Legislature before, he likewise did nothing
diere, as anybody could perceive, and possibl,
that paper may claim that as pro slavery
Buchanan man, ne deserves no better treat
ment from Douglas organ. Still his being
detailed to occupy such position is a funda-
mental wrong which no man of function
should tolerate for an instant. 1t is the
stranger, as Notwithstanding Mr.. P.'s Blu.
chananisn, the editor Of the Pioneer who was
member Of the Convention went in strono.
iy for his nomination
This mag have been done, however tc
realize the boast of that clique, that mar,
an h,sh@aa should be placed on the ticket,
and tie editor may plead that he went in f.
PRINCE as the only way in which he saw
wa prart;ca1le to prevent PATRICK NASH
b an lrshmau, from going On the ticket
This Anti-lish object accomplished, h
care nothing further about him; and there
fore in this manner whistles him down to tn
foot of the class
jealousy and rivalry also have somethin,
to do with this DEGRADATION of Prince
= The editor referred to runs rotary Mills b,
steam, and tie candidate runs rotary mill
also by steam-and it is an old adage tina
"two of a trade can never agree y
SO much for tie little men and their DC
sitions on the Democratic Legislative tickle
