lleoause Judge lang ran behind his ticket
some 94O votes and was defeated, when
The balance ofhis ticket had from 200 10
400 maioriiy ihs eiitor oharges Bic defeat
TO The "Black" Republicans. Most a.
ltuto reasoucrl clear a. mudi No doubt
iho editor crpoctod the Republicans
would abandon tholr own candidates and
20 ovof, IN a body, to the support OF
Lang.
The Republicnnssimply supported their
own ticket and had che democracy done
the same, Judge Lang would have been
elected, lie owes his defeat to the want
Of democratic votes on election day and
not to tho opposition Of the Reprblicsns.
On the contrary great many Republi-
cans voted for him, in this city and town
ship,
The defeat Of fudge Lang sas Premcd-
lated and brought about BY men In bis
own party, who protested to be his friends
bp. who were secretly doing all they could
against him. They were opposed 70 him
but thought Il safer 10 bomlnate him and
then slaughter him at the polls, than to
have an open rupture IN convention
They would thus not only accomplish
their object but secure the support ofthe
Germans for the balance Of the ticket
The German friends Of Judge Lang went
into The contest in good faith and polled
q larger vote than ever before, upon the
assurance that they were represented on
the ucketandthatthe would be hirly dealt
with. But now the whole plot is disolos-
ed and they are doomed to reap the fruits
.of bitter disappointment. They End tina,
they have been betrayed by profensod
friends and that The only German on the
ticket has boen defeated BY the "olique," !"
who have always entertained relentless
hostility towards Judge Lang. Their ha-
fed towards him is known as well to Re
publicans as democrats. The bitter do
nunoiations and low mutterod curses Of
the "cllque," on the day Of Lang's nomi-
nation and subsequently, foretold plainly
the fate that was in store for him.
We know whereof we affirm. These
very men who profcssed to- be Judge
Lang'e wOfmest friends were secretly
working against him and stabblng him in
the dark. They hold out bland promisen
70 the car and break them 10 the hope
By honied words aad large promises they
seduco the Germans into the support OF
lhoticket and then slaughter the best man
on il, because hs i1als. - to be Ger

Has ltnot always been sol When have
the Germans Of this county received any
thing at the hands oftheir alliesi Was u
in lS57,when Lang was defeated as a
candidate before the Convention for Pros
ecutlng Attorney Was il in 1858, when
lshm was so summOrily disposed Of by
the "clique".and Know Nothing nomi-
mated over himi or again In 1859, when
Krell and DIeutohler were slaughtered in
convention and Lang subsequently at the
polls, because they are GormSnsi
These things must be consoling to the
intelligent Germans Of this county, hold
ing, as they do, the balance of power
They arc allowed to do the voting for
the "clique," but "nsiry office" are they
allowed TO hold; and when one oftheir
men does get on the ticket, he lS defeated
at the polls.
