a Word 10 tho Republicans or
Mower County.
You arc askel to desert your party
It tho coming election; but every true
Republican, who has proper regard
for tho public interest, will. before Civ
ing his vote to the enemy, pause aud
enquirc-what he Is asked to do this
for. With, perhaps, half dozen ex-
ceptions, the Brownsville convention
WAS made up Of adventurers, soreheads,
democrats and defunct members Of tho
old Austin ring. 1t was bcgotten in
the minds Of less than half dozen
persons for political purposes, solely
hence to call Il peoples convention"
10 an absurdity.
The people had nothing to do with
it. 1t was the same old enemy under
. new suise. 1ts sole object is to d.

the old order Of county Management.

ring, rather than bis sbibls, and would
not believe one Of them guilty even if
sentenced to the penitentiary for life.
So 70 might name others equally

people. Nor is there anything IN any
way connected With the products Of
that mongrsl s,.smbl.gs q sorehe.ds

to tho support Of worthy citizens.
Wells tho self:nominated candidate for
Senator, has always been a high tariff
monopolist. made bis money in tho
eastern States, selling goods At fifty per
cent. profit, and never had . Thought in
common With farmers until he came to
this state to live easy. He i . sore
head Of the worst type. Two yeas
ago he wanted Office, undertook to get
it BY publicly abusing one Of biz best
friends, beat himself At bis own game,
and ever since has been cross and sore.
Peck hes been a standing Democrat
10 candidate for years, takes to defeat
a. . fish does to water. Cunder Hal
version il . clever, rattle.headed fellow,
whose common sense and fitness for Of.

did not get-immediatsly~ .boltel the
party, voted for Greeley, and then en-.
tered into the speculation Of organizing
Oranges as : stepping stone to bis pres
ent self:oonstitutsd nomin alton. He
has about the same sympathy with far
mers that satan has with sinners-he
wants to use them. Iugmuudson Is not
a farmer, and has always been an old
ring man. The people might ~ we'll
reflect Sylvester Smith a to elect
him.
These are the men whom the Rspub-
leans Of Mower county are asked to
support, and to do % must desert their
party and their principles. How many
viii do is?
