enthusiastic as well as the most
harmonious Democratic County

ton a ticket to be elected on the

the Convention did well, is evidenced
by the good ticket selected for the
various offices. 1t is composed Of
the best men throughout, and can
be supported by the Democracy as
well as by every other voter who

ical corruption, andsce the country

forco the Fifteenth Amendment
