We have looked in vain, for day or two,
in the columns of the Sentinel, for the an
nouncement of the declination of Mr.. Alger,
a. candidate for Senator on the Democratic
county ticket. As the Democratic organ
does not see fit to do so, We give below MI
Ayers letter, addressed TO the Democratic
county committee as long ago as last Mon
day.
Mr.. Alger declines on account of local
reasons and trades, apparent. The local
reasons. we suspect, are more apparent
than the trades. Doubtless the Democrats
have stood ready to trade off Mr.. Alger for
a Democratic city representative, but that
any Republicans have been parties to such
an arrangement, Is not apparent. The lie
publican candidates deny any connection
with any such bargain, and we trust that
no Republican is bargaining in their name
or behalf
Ifany Democrat likes our ticket better
than that Of his own party, he cannot be
prevented from voting it; but all experience
ha. ,aown that it is folly to count on Dem
ocra;ic promises Of aid to Republican nomi-
nee<. And if they couH be relied on, it
would It'll he foolish and wrong to be trad
Ing with the enemy. The Republicans of
Burlington, if united ami earnest. have
working majority in this city They can
elect a Republican representative, II they
Will. The regular county ticket Is IN no
danger. There is no need or excuse for ten
doring any help to the Democrats; and he
Is a very poor Republican that Will do 50.
Let all Republicans stand by their colors,
and let the Democrats resign and quarrel to
their hearts content.
