any d.gree taken notice Of the politi
cal aspect Of the State than that the
cause Of Black Repnblicsnism in this
State is gradually sinking. and becom-
ing weaker dsy by day. The fact Of
the matter is, the masscs OF the oppo-
sitiou don't like the Republican ticket;

support aud what Is farther cause
for distraction and fear among our op-
poneuts, is the present strong position
Of the Democratic party, and the noble
ticket which they have placed before
the people.

Rusch, however, was an exception to
this rule, but his nomination was none

given to him.
We would not find fault by any
means, with the state Of affairs in
which the opposition find themselves,
but we do Object to their attempting
TO compensate for the weakness Of
their own ticket by falsifyiug that

. ticket that will. That would be the
most sensible way Of getting ont Of a
bad scrape. The sum total of the
qualifications OF the persons whose
names appear on the Republican ticket,
have been summed up. They consist
mostly Of having been or being far
mers owning either wiGd mill or
water grist mill having sold grain to
farmers at fair price, instead of taxing
it to market; Of not often showing
themselves 10 the city; Of having a
larger amount Of wheat sown than any
other farmer aud other reasons about
