We publish.
We can support ami commend
the ticket thus formed honestly and
conscientiously; there is not can
didate upon It who does not possess
capacity and honesty. Those ma

tive party, are our very best citi-
sens. As are those placed In nom-
ination by our colored citizens.
II II p be observed that in this
arrangement we do not lose or urge
our party organization. This is a
practice not only polite but entire

Weurge upon all good citizens not
