EDITORS OTTAWA FREE TRADER:

see in the last Ottaws &dt<snaan, the pro.
fessed organ Of tho Labor Union Party of this
county. Leading article rejecting severely on
the action Of the last Democratic County Con.
vsntion for not adopting the candidates Of the
so-called Labor Convention, held . few days pre-
vious to the Democratic Convention, alleging
that said Convention was ruled by small
clique of Ottawa Lawyers, aad intmating that
said "court house clique" did it for the pur-
pose of elscting Bowen & Sheppard. Strange
consistency! the Democratic court house clique
in favor Of the firm Of Bowen & Sheppard. Re-
publicans, and ruling the Democratic County
Convention, for that purpose!
1t is singular that the nominee for County
Treasurer is the only Democrat it makes obiec.
ton to, whether it is because he always belonged
to the Labor Union movement, and not to .
clique Of that party or rather, perhaps, because
he is an Irishman, the article fails to disclose.
The editor of the Statenmaa was the nominee
two years ago Of tho Labor Union Party for
Treasurer. "7Ae Loader" Of that party persuaded
the Democratic Of La Sale t. vote for him, which
they did, being the only town in the county
which gave him . majority; for outside Of La
Sale bis vote was next to nothing. It was thus
throwing away the vote Of La Sale that elected
Mr. Bowen, aud defeated Mr. Donoshue. Do tho
Labor Union Party Of this county want to play
the same game again? If they do, they need
not count on La Sale.
Mr.. Hetherington has done more for the In.
Dor Union movement, in his .ownIhumbls way.
than dozen such men - now control that par
ty in this county, in order simply to ride into
Office. He has been identified with that move.
nent for the last ten years. Those who aow g.
sail HIM, are recent concerts -
Mr.. Hetherington never made the foolish
statement that he had the Democratic vote Of
La Sale in his pocket, or that he held the votes
Of 600 miners in the hollow Of his hand; but he
did say that the Democratic labor votes of L,
Sale could not be separated. It shows the
strait in which his enemies are placed when
they stoop to such lew subterfuge. He will get
the full Democratic and labor vote of the town
of La Sale at the coming election, the. hate Of
his enemies to the contrary Notwithstanding
and il he alone of the ticket should be beaten il
will be for no other cause, but Of his being an
lrishman and Q working man. ~ Az
We in La Sale do hope thst the Democrats Of
La Sale county will stick to their candidates,
and vote the whole ticket. It is, believe, the
first time in great number of years that La
Sale has lad . candidate on tho county ticket.
A. -
election, with the other candidates, will be GER
tain. On the other hand, if you elect the other
nominees on the Democratic ticket and defeat
Mr.. Hetherington, all have to say is that we
of La Sale will be inclined to believe that our
townsman was Disseminated against on account
of his being an humble working man. Yours, sc.
