ORR Local TICKEr.-In a communi-
ty like ours where almost every body is
known TO everybody y else comparison
on other than political grounds between
opposing candidates for local or even
legislative office must necessarily par
take OF the nature Of personality. In
saying, therefore, what We have TO say
of the democratic local ticket OF our
county, We shall cschcw comparisons and
parallels and confinc our ment.on TO can
didates OF our own party and to the obl-
CATION resting on all democrats TO sup
port them. In the beginning, we admit. ii
party nominate an unworthy man for
office or nominate i worthy man bv
fraud, votIng against such 4 nominee j.
not only right but may also be duty.
II Is only by the exercise, now and then.
of independence like this tina. the purity
Of parties can be preserved. When,
however, as in the present instance,
none but worthy men arc nominated as
candidates and there i no accusation of
fraud or uniairncss IN their selection
the case is very different. Now, have
not worthy men been nominated on
our local ticket and nominated fairly !:
But if tins question is answered alFirma-
lively, as /: must be, what is the plain
duty Of a good democrata Manitestlv.
TO stand by the local with the same iidrl-
ity nc stands by the other parts of the
ticket. The local and the other parts
are in the same boat and the obligation
TO sustain the first is just as much par
~ duty as the other. Why are YOU
called upon to vote for Mr.. Heating
There Is no patronage he has il in his
power to bestow which can strengthen
the party half dozen votes. You vote
for him because he is the nominee of
your party AMI because his defeat would
be its defeat. Would the case be diff
ferentit you allowed your local candi-
dates TO be beaten: But il is not only
bad faith but bad policy TO support the
Senator on your ticket and neglect the
Surveyor. The lateriS as much entitled
to your protection as the former and the
vo,erwho supports one because he makes
laws and ncglccts the other because he
measures land entails upon his party the
