Meeting some time next month, when, he says,
"busin& n&s.of importance will be brought before
them."
.Ther4 etp various onjectures as to the OBJ |
j& e u heeting. Some are foolish enough |
to suppoR Aypne intends to organize his
T.t1 4p>nfR sdisal Ticket next Fall: 9th
srs, we think. Ike more sensible 7iew Of the
move, and suppose he intends to make show
Of organization and then, if there should be
foundia sufficient number Of disaffected demo-
cratic aspirants to form a nucleus for an "inde-
pend dtn." organization, he will be for sale to the
highest bidder.
Atain, there ale persons who think he is NOV
iRg in the interest Of q few in this town, who
81 themselves democrats, but arc preparing to
&p{se the democratic ticket if they or their
etds are not nominated upon it. They are
MSmoving with all their might and means 10
~ new party, with the view of putting them
bl&Sand o few select friends into Office. They
opHke nominating candidates by conventions,
ndraise all sorts of objections to the plan of
nominating by Primary Election. They have
determined not to be satisfied with any plan un-
less they arc the central figures in it. Having
but little strength Or influence in themselves,
.ssy ,a s.ss sad aasts ssars q
of whst they gall the poorer classes against the
DcmocHltic party
Alrealy we have heard that these men are
telling ilhe people that Mobley's move is ga
trick ofthe straight-out democrats, to make the
voters blieve that he will run q ticket if there
is SPIT in the democratic ranks This tale
has TWO edges to it. In the first place these
malcoftents know full we'll that any bargain or
arrandk kment with Mobley and his followers
wouldlbe bitterly opposed by large majority of
tho true democrats of the County and would
weak eh the patty ranks. But that is not the
edge they intend to use. What they want is
the he p of Moblcy and his followers, but they
dare net make q bargain with him unless they
can im}r }ress the people with the belief that the
democrats played the game first" therefore
Lhers assa- ;be mo choice of party on that score.
In corroboration of such suspicion, some Of
these sorcheads are even now advocating the
right Of any man-evcn the most radical repub-
lica4 vote at the primary election, for dem
ocrSDc nominees, if he will only promis: to vote
The democratie ticket at the regular election
The idea of allowing republicans to vote upon
democratic nominations is so preposterous
that mo man who has not :'an axe'to grind
would think of proposing it. We all know what
the t,re promise or even oath of the aver
age republican is worth We see them, at every
election, make the most solemn vows TO vote the
dehocratic ticket, and go direct to the poll and
deposit full republican ticket.
We warn the democrats cf Union County, not
to put tho least confidence in such reports
There is not shadow of truth in them. We
handed fight, and win, too, under the pure liberal
and unsullied democratic banner inviting all good
citizens to come into our ranks anl help us /;
while all who affiliate with Moboys republican
party, to oppose our cause, must thereafter lake
places where they belong, in the Republican
ranks. If they prefer Mobley and ignominious
defeat to- democracy and glorious victory, they
must submit to the political disgrace which such
q choice will certainly bring upon them.
