Election Notes.

one who was present, we correct on
publication of last week, by stating
that there were only tscelce presen
at the Bulletin caucus, IS shown b,
actual count. With voting popu
lation of seven hundred, that left si1
hundred and lightweight unrepre
sented. What peoples was that
my countrymen!
Somebody will soon be inquirinG
awho threw dat last brick" if thu
whisky jugs continue their trips t.
the Third Ward. They are being
tracked.
The Peoples nomination fol
Street Commissioner was made BY
drawing straws. What a farce!
No one will dispute the ability O.
S. A. NASH, Esq, to make an eff
cient Mayor, but our people are moi
green enough to suppose that he
would sacrifice his large law practice
to administer petty justice in the
Mayors office. His election would
give us an Executive head in name
only. We want man who has moi
only the ability, but the time and In
clination to administer the law.
Mayor BIRD is that man. Elect him
and you have a head both in name
and deed.
They have changed the name OF
the Bulletin Caucus concoction to
s'Citizen's Ticket" "a rose by an
other name," &c.
The boys call the Bulletin Caucus
nominations the "Screen Ticket"
The straws used in drawing for
Street Commissioner were from a
small lot left over at the close Of the
mint-julip season LAST year.
The interest for the past week has
centered in the search for a demo-
cratic candidate for Solicitor.
Whether, Us in case of Mayor, the
telegraph was brought into requisi-
ton we are not Informed.
S. A. NASH consents to lead the
"family' in the race for Mayor.
Money and whisky is finding its
way into the Third Ward. Such
transactions are an insult to the in
telligence of the people of that ward,
and the parties engaged in it should
be spotted"
The editor of the Bulletin is an
like Artemus Ward. Artemus was
willing to sacrifice his relations, but
the editor is only willing to sacrifice
his friends. 1t would have been diff
ferent only there was doubt in the
way.
The election of NASH for Mayor
would be heralded abroad as demo-
cratic victory. You can't make any
thing else out of it.
Smash the ring by voting for the
Republican ticket.
We are requested by Mr.. NJ. r.
MATHEWS, to say that he will not
be a candidate for constable at the
Spring election.
The Confederates when they wish
ed to play sharp trick upon the
Union boys dressed their soldiers in
the Union garb. The democrats of
Gallipolis attempt the same thing
through "Citizen's Ticket" Fore
warned, forearmed.
A Third Ward democrat styles the
Bulletin Caucus ticket, "Patrons of
the family Ring"
We notice the name of ALEXANDER
LoGUE on the democratic ticket for
Township Trustee. This is proba-
bly, without his consent. The Trus-
tees disburse large amounts of the
Infirmary fund, and Judge LOGUE
must understand too well the impro
priety of a Director of that institu-
tion auditing his accounts as Trus-
tee.
If the editor of the Bulletin lived
in Cincinnati he would give his soul
to elect the hummer democratic
ticket. Here he plays on harp of
thousand strings, expecting to
catch few gudgeons.
1t is q notorious fact that corrupt
influences were used to control the
city election last year. This ought
not to be tolerated. Should it be at
tempted this year, send us the facts,
and we will expose the parties there
to, whoever they may be, bringing
their names and acts publicly to the
attention of the Grand Jury through
the columns of the JOURNAL.
The democratic ticket, sugar coat
ed as it is, with a few Republicans
still has too much coloric in it to
make it healthy prescription for the
people.
| We have always believed that the
democratic organization was q close
aristocracy rather than a free democ.
racy, and their secret cancus sastains
that theory. A few of their leader.
