been around in all the Assembly dis
tricts and they find that the democrat
ic ticket is peddled from the Republi-
can boxes, with the exception of Pat

name of citizens candidate on the re-
publican tickets, notwithstanding the

all our candidates, except william A
Butler. Now if that is not base treach-
cry don't know what is; but we will
collect this evidence and show to whom
is due.the defeat of the Citizens ticket. y
