RRPUBLIUAK TICKET.
A Weak Democratic Ticket


a Weak Democratic Ticket
AZ the Cincinnati ticket becomes
more analysed by ths people, it will
become more evident that 1t is the
weakest ticket the Democrats have had
except one since the days of Buchanan.
As the skies clear away 1t becomes
more evident that falling In au attempt
to elect By the popular vots tae Demo
Gratis will throw the election If possible
into tins House ofRepressntatives, where
Congressman DeLamAtyr Of Indiana
will hold the balance of power. As
the House 10 rOw constituted, he can
dictat9 which Of the two leading can
didates shall be elected. OF courss his
frs. choice would be General Weaver f
Iowa, the Greenhack candidate for
President. but falling in getting his
first choice Judging from his course in
Congress, 1t Is not likely his second
choics would be General Garfield so
long as the Democratic patty ia SO
thoroughly imrreguated with Green
back theories.
The great objsct of the Democrats in
the approaching election will be to car
~ the three doubtful states of New
York, New jersey and Connecticut. If
Indiana ccnes ia 20 much the better;
but they can do without her if they
only carry the three States frs. named.
Will they carry them Thsre is no
doubt that tie GIeenback voters proper
will organize, and run electoral tickets |
in each Of the doubtful States men
TONED for their own candidates. and
the fac: that General Weaver, the
GreenhaCh candidate for President is
distinguished Congressman Of 10 mean
ability and withal q colder and states
man, will be strong inducement for
the G7eenbGckers TO make every effort
TO poll full vote. The ticket of
the Democratic party, SO plainly
chosen to ccntrol the hard money in

Democratic snd Greenback parties.

ful Eastern States, how many symya-
thizipg Democrats viii it draw eff :
This is not easy to guess. General
Hancock Is net candidate who has
anything tc recommend him to voters
who care for industrial or financial q
questions. Mr.. Englisb, the national =,
Banker, the money lender, and "the A
blosted bond holder, will be the least .
Of all acceptable tocthe GreeDbackers. a.
The diversion Of only half as many
votes as were cast for the Green back
party last year would leave the Demo k
,rats far in the minority in each of the 4
doubtful States named, and even if the *
Hreer back party we're disbsnded in the q
States named leaving the voters to set ri
upon theiE own individual prefere noes, o
there would be Thousands Of former ii
Democratic who would refuse to vote for Z
such Democrat as is offered them and h
would stay at home. With or without p
a third ticket, the silent refusal of for Ell
mer Democrats 10 vote for their cardi- y,
dates is likely 70 defeat General Han. 6
