The Hackettstoon Gazette, radical De-
mocratic sheet, gives the following reasons
for taking down Harris name, and publishing
in its place that of Gen. Fitzpatrick:
have found 1t necessary this week to make change

Of onsibty and with profound regret that such
corruption should have crept in the Democratic party
and this district makes this change necessary Prior
to the Democratic Congressional Convention we were
opposed to Henry S. Harris being the Congressional
nominee Like every Democrat, had choice.
We opposed to him. because believed he by
BIRTH training, education and principle Republican,
because did believe he had been honest official
during his term Of office Prosecutor because be-

ing the past not clouded by any suspicious of dis
loyalty to the party or to the people.
We could increase our reasons, but these should be
sufficient every and honest Democrat oppose
him at the primaries.
The foul means he used, the money he spent to
rupt voters before aud at the primaries is fact that

We know ave are pledged to support the party nom-

We love the principles of the Democracy; we hold
dear the traditions of the party; n our
memory the Of Jefferson Monroe, jackson and

advance their own selfish ends. For this reason we
float the Harris standard. We cannot associate

Hancock, English and Ludlow. We do not believe that

of vicious minority that forced him the party by
the vicious of his gold. We honestly believe 1t
