that his straight ticket goes in. even
though he may be conscious of an over
towering majority against his choice fol

from this time forward, a fair election,
unrelaxing energy and explicit obedience
to party rules. By this means We shall
conquer.

WOLF.
The Democratic city administration has
manifested great forbearance up to the
nominations. No sooner have they been
put aside for their various successors than
they display themselves in true Demo
cratic colors. They order the peremptory
collection of the tax Of 1874 in arrears.

The people have been kept in the dark
about this Democratic administration
until the Administrators have themselves
thrown off their disguise. Their waste and
expense has been charged on the State
administration. While they were subsist-

people were told to ''look at Kellogg" see
how our city is coming to ruin.
So long as the nominations were open
the delinquent taxpayers no doubt en-.
couraged the idea that these indulgent in
cumbents would be continued in Office.
So soon as the nominations were an

left out in the cold by their Democratic
brethren. the order is passed: "Put on
