we hear but one opinion expressed. When
the list of nominations were first received
here, we showed it to a group of Democratic
friends. " Updyke," said one, "Updyke for

having no personal interest in the result OF an
election, it must he founded on a,character
substantial aud enduring. We are glad the
Democracy of Ada have placed such a ticket
before the people for their ratifcation- That
its nominations will be ratified by a majority
of from $50 TO 800 we have no doubt.
At the election in October last, that portion
of Boise county now organized as Ada, gave
a large Democratic majority. Though the
vote in those precincts may not be quite so
large now as then, yet relatively the strength
of the party has rather increased than d.
minishSd. The population which has settled
there since the election has been mainly de-
rived frorn Boise and AIturas counties, the
Democratic settlers FOR the Winter greatly
over the opposition. Besides
this, there has been a quiet but unceasing
current flowing from the Republican into the
Democratic party, among that portion of men
who honestly, and with the pnrest motives,
voted the Republican ticket at the last elec-
ton; men who generally reflect much but say
htlle.
With this aggregate of political strength
there is nothing to prevent the entire success
OF the Democracy there, if every man will do
that duty which true patriotism demands of
him. Let no Democrat neglect TO go to the
POLLS because be believes the ticket can be
elected without his individual vote Poll that
one vote-it may save the whole ticket-if
not, it will roll another rock over the tomb of
dead Republican party, which will bury it
he deeper from human sight and future
power for evil.
The Republican party of Ada are democrat
zed, split up into fragments bitterly hostile
o each other, and hopeless of success. They
re desperate, and despair Of the future I'M
ess they can succeed in binding portion
+ the Democracy with specious pretexts for
hardening their own party, and their own
ried and true men, to support men who, had |
hey power, would have long ago, destroyed
hem from the face of the earth-and who will
o II in the futnFe, if they ever get the upper
and of them. It is this sort of meni who
ak about Peoples Ticket,"-of letting
olitics slide and electing men without ref
renee to politics. How long is it since these
len have learned this eoneiliatory lesson ?
ow long is it since they were bowling for the
lood, imprisonment, copfscation, expatria-
on and humiliation of every man who diff
red from them in the slightest degree re-
arding the divinity of the "Union Party 2"
hey have learned it since the conviction has
ome home to them that if they do not sue
eed in their ancient tactics of deceit, their
over has gone from them forever.
Let no Democrat be deceived This pseudo
items ticket is the identical old abolition
-agon that has degoured the glory, the hon.
:, the strength, the manliness of the Ameri-
N people during fifty years of fuctuating
ontest. It is the Union party of the last
ection-the Republican party of ls6O-the
BOLTON party of 1850. It has grown aud
tened on DECEIT ever since its mother
