HE1r Vote for the Democratic candidates
for PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS.
Our County Ticket.

people OF this county for their support.
We can say this without any disparagemeLt
to the capable and efficient officers TO whom
the Democracy of the county have hereto
fore confided the administration of their
affairs. 1t is acknowledged to be SO by
every candid Republican who is not per-
senaly or pecuniariy interested in the re-
suit. We could have succec ded with
weaker ticket-with almost any
ticket-cFainst the men whom the Repub-
kcan party hare seen fit to nominate, but
the Democracy Of the county, represented
by their delegates in convention, dctermin
cd that no action of theirs should lessen the
chances Of Mr. Villas election or drive an
honest voter from the support of HoRATIO
SEYMOUR. The convention met with the
determination of sinking every personal
preference-every consideration of nation
aliy or locality-and placing in nomination
snly men who, by their capability, integrity
and popularity, would insure the cordial
support of every true Democrat and con
seryxtive voter in the county for the aohole
ticket. 1t did its work well, There is not
q man upon the ticket who is not known to
be upright and honest. There is not man
upon the ticket who is not known to be
thoroughly qualified to discharge efficiently
aud well the duties of the office for which
he is nominated. That our candidates,
however capable aud trustworthy, should
be traduced and maligned by unprincipled
opponents was to be expected, but we con-
fess we were not prepared for the false and
brazeH charges which appeared in last
veek's 8 Tribune
The charges against Senator REED are,
substantially, that he has been an inefficient
and faithless representative Of the people,
and iha, he is unpopular with his own par
ty. Every man in the county, be he Dem
ocrat or Republican, knows each cf these
charges to be unqualifedly false. 1t alleges,
further, that 'one Sunday, not long ago,
he Senator REED went out to the town of
racy, and the people would not let him
speak, even on the public highway" This
silly SANDER against the Democrats of
Franklin is not worthy Of reply. 1t has
no foundation in fact, and wss cook ed up
in the Tribune Office. In this connection it
may be we'll to remember that, two years
ago, when Mr.. REED was renomnated for
second term, this same Tribune absolute
ly urged the Republicans to make no nom
ination against him, it then considering
him the ablest and best man in either party
for the position for which it now denounces
him as incompetent.
Captain PETER MULHoLLAND, as our
readers all know, was brave and gallant
officer in the Union army, who commanded
company raised in this place, and who
served with honor and distinction until the
close Of the war; The Tribune dismisses
him By calling him rebel
But GoTrIIEB DAIMLER, Esq, the Dem
ocratic candidate for County Treasurer, is
the recipient of the largest share of the
Tribune virtuous Indignation. 1t was ev-
identity hard pushed to find adjectives
enough to express its contempt and abhor-
renee of DAIMLER and its unbounded ad-
riIation for BAETZ. Its motive for this is
not hard to discover. The County Treas
urer controls the printing Of tax list worth
six or seven hundred dollars. If BAETz is
elected the Tribune will get it. 1fDAMLER
is elected the Tribune will not get it. 1t
charges in tn emos abusive and undignift q
terms, that Mr. DAIMLER is ignorant, that
Il. I
qualified for the arduous duties and respon-
sbilities of the Treasures office" We
shall not follow the example of the Tri-
June, and endcavor to vindicate Mr. DAM
LER by STOPPING to assail the private char
acter of his opponent 1t is not necessary
that We should do SO. Mr.. DAIMLER has
resided in Two Rivers for years, and is
known as one of the most intelligent and
public-spirited men in the county To
him, more than to any other man, is due
the fact that Two Rivers now boasts the
largest and best school house in Manitowoe
county. He was member of the County
Board for several years-part Of the time
rs its Chairman-and he discharged every
duty faithfully and well, and to the satisfac
tion of the people. He is man of &C
knowledged ability aud good business quail
ifications and that he is scrupulously
honest and upright in all things will b,
vouched for By every one who knows him
As a courteous and educated gentleman h,
is the peer of Mr.. BAETz in every respect
II is possible that the calumnes of th
Tribune may win Jew votes for MIR. BAET
. where Mr. DAIMLER is not known; bu
where he is known best they will injure tn
Republican candidate more than they wi
benefit him.
Against Mr.. BACH, our present able an
popular Clerk Of the Board, the 1rt5u'
makes no open charges, having exhauste
his vocabulary Of invectives against MI
DAIMLER 1t resorts to the most mean an
coutamnt;hia insinuations and Innuendoe,
