The Democratic Ticket.


The Democrats of Hartford county have
selected their candidates and we place their
names at the head of this column. No one
can complain that unworthy men are forced
upon the party for their suffrages since
every voter had an opportunity of desgna-
ting his choice, and the gentlemen nomi-
mated received the highest number fvotes.
The election was fairly conducted, the result
honestly asccrtained and declared, and the
ticket presented is therefore entitled to the
undivided support of every man in the coun-
ty who claims to Belong to the Democratic
party or cherishes its principles. Personal
feelings or preiudices should not be allowed
to stand in the way when the question is
whether Democracy or Republicanism shall
prevail If we believe in the perpetuation of
the sound principles of government held
by the great Democratic party of the
country, we should vote for those who
repcsent such principles, Besides, the
ticket is one which Democrats can sup
port an other grounds than party fralty. OF
the twelve candidates. all but one or two are
practical farmers and well and flvorably
known.
