THE CITY PRESS ON THE TICKET.
THE ENQUIRER. Dem.l

THE ENQUIRER, Dem.l
The interests of original nationalities, if
such interests are considered, are fairly
respected on the ticket. 1t would be diff
cult to balance it more impartially and
wisely in that regard This is question of
no little political deiicacy, and in this
respect the ticket is symmetrical. The
ticket has so many excellencies that will
win non-partisan support that it can not
fail of election on its merits in q COM
munity of voters exceptionally inde-
pendent.
THE Commercial, Rep.l
The Democratic city ticket is strong
one, but the platform is one of submissive
ness to the political Southern Coniederacy
the Democratic Solid South.
THE Gazette, Rep.1
But the ticket, in itself, is as strong as
the Democratic party could nominate, and
il will not do for Republicans to think their
ticket will elect itself if they stay away
nor to neglect active work. 1t is the habit
of Republicans to let the city elections go
by default and to turn out only when
general election takes place. But the city
election chooses the administrators of that
expenditure which taxes US three per cent,
and which, besides this, is continually

THE Freie Prcsse.l
Len. Harris was no match for S. S. Davis
in 1871. So much the less will he be such
for Charles Jacob, Jr., on the 7th of April
next.
The election OF the Republican city ticket
may be considered as certain if every Re-
publican voter will do his duty and do it
entirely. Only too great confidence of
victory, which would cause Incidence,
would make it dangerous to the Repub-
cans.
The by-gone political existence of Harris
the Democratic candidate for Mayor, is like
the chameleon, as it shows itself in all
colors.
[The Volksfreund Dem.l
The Democratic ticket is received with
satisfaction by the Democrats
and the Liberals. The work of the Con-
vention may be considered as revival of
the Democracy" The behavior of the
delegates was exemplary; there was no
of rowdyism and corruption
The public has the satisfaction to know
that every candidate was nominated simply
because the majority of the delegates
deemed him the best and most fitting man
lOf lHt ullCt III lucStlOli. Oh lDlS dC-
count victory may be counted as half
gained. When to the fact that really
good ticket has been put up the important
fact added that the general tendency is
against the Republican party. which has
sanctioned the greatest fraud that has ever
been perpetrated during the political his
tory Of the Union, and by which was placed
in the Presidential chair man who never
was elected by the people, there is no
doubt of Democratic victory. The peo-
pie have spoken in the Convention. The
people will, at the polls, ratify the work of
the Convention.
1.-THE Volksblatt, Ind. Rep.l
The experiment of having large Con-
vention in place of small one seems to
have proved a success. At least the Demo-
cratic Convention of eight hundred and
tfty-eight delegates is. with one accord de-
clared such. Even the Republican Com
mercial agrees with this verdict, and we.
also, as independent lookers-on, are com
PEELED to say that the Democratic city
ticket with one or two exceptions) has
proved better one than is customary.
The Convention of last Saturday unde-
niably put up strong ticket. The Demo-
cratic party leaders were cognizant of the
III the ranks caused by the
defeats of last fall, and therefore they
worked energetically to regulate the put
ting up of the ticket by wise measures, and
it seems they have succeeded.
The numerous friends of Mr.. Julius Refs
must certainly mourn the defeat of their
able candidate. Still it can not be denied
that the Convention has nominated in the
person of Col. L. A. Harris man who
can creditabiy place himself beside Mr..
Charles Jacob, the Republican banner
bearer Both are men of unimpeachable
character, considerable energy and bust
ness knowledge and administrative powers
Colonel Harris has twice been Mayor of
Cincinnati, and that a good one He was
Magistrate, Internal Revenue Collector,
had been in the army, and is now Di-
rector Of the Soldiers Home at Dayton
He has retired from business and has
sufficient time to dispose for public
matters. What we have said
about Jacob and Refs we can also apply to
Jacob and Harris. Whoever of the two
may be elected, the interest of the city will
not suffer Both are alike able, Just and
reliable. AS to the other candidates, we do
not deem it necessary to discuss them per-
sonally. Whether A or b is elected Treas
urer. Prosecutor, etc., is immaterial, so long
as both candidates are alike acceptable.
If both tickets, as is now The case, are
good on the average, the necessity of a fight
on the part Of the independent press will
fall away.
More good material than usual is now of
fered those who like to fix up their own
ticket. We can not consider the nomina-
ton of Judge Gaple as good one on the
grounds mentioned by u.s. On the whole,
we have no objection to any candidate on
either ticket. May the best man win.
