the ticket for lifetime, and they are
ashamed of the trick and disguste d
with the tricksters. And with such
men diaapprovai IS not passing /
pout but the basis of future action.
On the whole, so far as the dem
ocracy of the county is concerned |
1 consider that the effect Of the pur-
chase OF the Era's support will dis
heartens the honest massess Of the |
party and give the county to the re-
pubicans by several hundred majori-
lty.

been to madden them and to nerve
even the generally quiet and an

lican paper, and the intention is to
continue it's publication as Repnb-
lican journal, but advocating the re-
election of Mr.. Taylor and opposing
1.-The election of Maj. Pettibone.

same sources printing outfit has
been purchased, or rented, with the
intention of starting a republican

!. pouse the cause of Mr.. Taylor.
III tbs no more than just that candi-
Fdates should assist the party press,
but when a so-called democratic can
didate subsidies the republican
t press to the amount of $1,000 or
e more, expends only about $3.50 or
$500 on his own party organs, instead
of expanding his money in legltl-
mate way he is guilty Of the
