our COUNTY TICKET.

UCtO !" tuAo SoossSp ORkNsSsSsObA W
the regular Republican ticket, save
and except those made by the Far
mers' and Labvrers' Convention.
Our predictions have only failed in
the fact that no Democratic Conven-
ton - been held to ratify the nomi-
nations Of the .'so-called," as we sup
posed would be the case. This is
near enough for one who makes no
prophetical prctentions.
Taking the cue from our national
politics, those who were conniving in
the interests OF Cedar County De-
mocrscy determined to have ! Cin-
cinnsti and Baltimore in their pro-
grxmme. Their Cincinnati Conven.
ton duly came of under the aiias Of
the Farmers and Laborers;" but,
discouraged, perhaps, by the poor
success OF their prototype, the Greeley
swindle, it appears that the Baltimore
Convention 10 90 DO dispensed viii.
This is we'll enough, mn dns,hi, "a. ahe
Democrats can, il appears, be counted
upon to vote ''the other" ticket under
ali circumstances when only two are
before them, and one Of them labeled
"Republican." But Republicans
are there any in Cedar county be-
lieving in Republican principles, and
desiring, SO long ~ it is true to it,
self, the supremacy Of the party by
which these great principles have
been brought forward and maintained
ARE there, we ask, any Republicans
in Cedar County who can yet believe
in the aimsy pretext that the farmers
and lsborers Of this county have really
and truly risen in their might and, in
the interests Of honesty and economy,
put into the field . ticket in opposition
to that nominated by the regular
Republican Convention: We think
not. The long ears of ancient DE.
mocracy show too plainly from
beneath the Farmers and Laborers'
lion skin, and the bray Of the animal
does no more resemble the roar Of
the king Of beasts than it used to do.
Beside and beyond the natural re-
pugnance that sny one feels upon the
discovery Of an attempted trick which
is in itself an impeachment Of his good
sense, we feel certain that all who
have been in sympathy with the Re-
publican party must, after ever 90
careful and practical . review of the
situation, find less than no cause for
failing to vote for its nominees in
this county At the approaching cleo
ton.
There il no need to make any in.
vidious comparison between the two
sets Of candidates which are before
the people. No one denies that the
County Republican Convention did
both itsele and the party it represent
ed credit in the nominations il made.
Then why should any Republican ad-
minister undeserved rcbuke to his
party by Withholding his support?
every one admits that the nominations
Of the Republicans for the Offices TO
be filed in this county are such a. are
eminently fitting to be made-that
the nominees are both honorable and
capable. Then why, in the name Of
common sense, should single Repnb-
lican vote be lost to them!
Let US again call the particular 1t
tention of the voters Of Cedar county
1.-THE "farmers and laborers" especial
ly) to the make up Of the Republican
county ticket. We, Is Republicans,
are proud Of it, feeling that, Is should
always be the case, every candidate
thereon can stand upon his individual
merits and qualifications and do cred
it to those who support him.
The nominee for what may, perhaps
be considered the most important
Office, WV. H. VASNEss, is = man
in the prime of life who has been q
farmer citizen Of this county ever
sincc released from the army Of the

recognition Of ability, he rose during |
the years Of his service to positions |
