X IS we'll Emo II l0At Long "OAA A9
nut fayorile Of the baruscie clique who
1,ai,ued Z. B. Farwell upon the Republican
ticket; neither is the latter acceptable to
any other wing Of tile Republican party.
No etIor; WIS made to force Wentworth on
the Republican ticket, for the reason
that prominent baruarl..s entertained
unf,iendly feelings toward kin, and
Mr. ". himself, for tile sake of peace
and unity in the party, had voluntarily re-
tired into the background, and stood ready
to support any qualified and respectable
cardulate Of the party. But the old clique
were not willing to couproiniso on an un-
objectionable canaidate The position
they took WAS this: First, No man should
be placed at the head Of the ticket who
Wis identified, directly or indirectly, with
the citizens movement Inst fall, or
who had permitted his name TO be on their
ticket: aal second, that the most prominen,
and obnoxious barnacle in the county
should be madt tho stautard-bea1cr Of the
ticket for the express purpose Of 7'uH'xh-
Jag md hamiii.ting every Republican who
supported the citizcns' reform ticket
yeas a4o. And this programme they car
ried cut to the letter, and are nov striving
to bsre it ratified. In casting about for
Candidate they Aelectel the inan known to he

u,upity. and most obnoxious 10 the sell
respect Of every man who voted the citi-
zens' ticket. The intention was, to make
the pill as dissgreeable as possible, aud
then apply the party gag to force it down
The '9barnaclea'' who concoctsd this
thing were duly warned that if they attempt
ed to play that game they would have

Vas inevitable, and in accordance
with the fitness OF thinRa. The
Democrats could not consistently nomin-
ste candidate Of their own for Congress
BECAUSE they too were under the ban Of
Larnacle prescription. They "'so had snp-

committed the same unpardouable sin as
| the 1900 Republicans who voted for that
ticket Accordingly, in self-dafence. they
arc const mined TO voto for Wentworth, who
was Chairman of the Citizens Campaign
Committee. Every man who supported
that ticket or approved of the movement
to purify our local politics, is morally
bound to resent and resist this outrageous
corruption, tyranny, and intolerance, ane
to teach those Court House individuals 1
lesson they will not spon forget In regati
20 the other candidates on the ticket, th'

in the usual way, without much referenc
to their political action last year

support OF the whole party, an

where the candidates are @known to b

The Democrats have also nominated
