First, If there shall be Democratic candi-

ticket which seems most likely to succeed.
Second-If the mainissue in the canvass shall
be protection against free trade, we shall (no
matter as to candidates) be found on the side of
protection.

shall be two Republican tickets and n, ne other
presented with any hope of success, we shall IA
vor that one whose election will be, in our judy

public expenditure, purity in legislation
and administration, substantial unanimity in
upholding for all citizens complete equality
of rights under the laws and hastens the re-
turn of fraternal concord and mutual good will
between those who were arrayed against each
other in sanguinary strife throughout our great
