EDITORS APPEAL - "E Pluribus
Unum, Zone of whom am which. Now,
sir, the Bartlett platform started out all
OK; keep it so, for, I tell you, if the old
rings and political hacks don't take back
seats in the coming elections, the thing
are q busted institution. Tote fair, all
hands, for If you don't, the subscriber,
like hundreds of other old Democrats,
will urge a third party, and if this can
not be done, will, rather than be ridden
by political hacks, who think they can
pull the wool over our eyes, and go on
from time to eternity in their tricks,
we will 90 for the Radicals. So mote it
be. This is not personal. You can take
a note or not, just as you please, with
the compliments Of yours devotedly.

EDITORS APPEAL-The writer has
been q close observer Of "political
rings for the last few days, and seeing
the intrigues of these rings to control
the convention which is to meet this
month to nominate county officers,
caused me to suggest the course to be
pursued by my fellow workingmen in
the coming August election. If the
convention should nominate for county
offices good and true men, such men as
have not been connected with the "po-
litiesl ring" fair pro rata rOm the
country, and a representative from the
working class on the ticket, large ma
jority of the workingmen will support
the ticket. But in case the convention
be controlled by political rings and
ward "bummers " let the rings and
bummers do the voting. IF we are 10
have the convention controlled by
these rings, il is useless to have con-
ventiOns or elections. You can now see
these ward bummers discussing on
the street-cOrners nearly every
night who zoe will nominate in the
coming convention The wOrkingmen
will go into this convention with the in
tentiOn Of nominating county officers
composed of good and true men; but il
these political rings control the nOmi-
nations, the ticket will meet with dis
astrous defeat at the polls. There is
movement organizing at the present
time to defeat worthy and popular can
didates, that all classes have confidence
in; it is to be done by dividing the vote
between three or more candidates, and
at the proper time to bring forward one
Of the ''ring" as a compromise cnadi-
date, and secure his nomination. The
tenth ward has made a move in the
right direction, and II the other wards
would pursue the same course, bummers
and "rinesu would be thing Of the
past. do not write this article in the
