There is therefore no longer = doubt
that Walker, Turner, Mowry, Shaier,
Beisecker, Forney and Holsapple
nave sold out 20 the Democrats, and
have gone ove bag and baggage TO
the enemy. They intended, up to the
last moment, to stiil claim to be Re-
publicans, and to deceive as many vo-
tiers as possible ihto their support,
but here We have tbs proof that they
have struck hands with the enemy,
and cspitulated to Cofroth. No yo-
ter can now be further deceived; the
man who votes for either or any Of
them is simply voting the Democrat
ic ticket with bis eyes open.
There is another thing worthy Of
attention 10 this sell out. McClin-
tock is the only name on lbs ticket
for Commissioner, aud that ia SO
crowded in, that no other name can
be written above or below it. We
understand that Kline, seeing that be
was expected to turn Democrat, had
determined not to run, and therefore
We are not surprised that his name
was lefl OF the ticket; but Barclay
was as coolly dropped as if be didn't
amount to a row Of pins.
We were as csltain Of this result
two aolths siGce as We are now
that we have Il 10 print. Cofrotb
would have liked to drop Mcclinscck
but he dare not, f5r fear Of McCiia-
