THAT aRErE TICKET AGAIN.

The Star CT this morning aces IOt | speak of "the green ticket" with that . assurance Of a good thing, that II did . few days ago, but begins b whine, aud 1 wants to know why we put Dr. Handy . down as president of ;he First National 1 Bank, srd NJ. G. Samanieso down as q member of the beard ot supervisors. We pat Dr. Handy down ss Presiden: | ot the First National Bank. because he 1 is president of that bank. and We put Samaniego down as supervisor because be is a supervisor.
 "The facts are" says the Star Handy is a physician" Tee, and tho Star might have added that he IS a very good one too. But the CITIZEN had no desire to mention all the extended business and professional qualifications Of the men whose names are found on what the Democrats call ''the green ticket" We could elaborate on . number of names in this way were 1t necessary, but our desire was to cut them short. The Star also informs Us that MT. SamanieG) IS 6 merchant. We arc willing to add mer- chant, so that his occupation will read: "Member of the board of supervisors and merchant" The Star also further finds fault, because "ex-merchant was appended after the name of Mr. Zeeken- dorf, and then goes into a history of 
 that gentleman and others private affairs which the CITIZEN declines to diVuss. The CITIZEN hsd no desire to do IDiss.ics anyone in the article referred to. Now If there are nnyothcr occupations that the Stnr would have amended. or added to, We would be pleased to nake tie aG- ditions, provided there are any to make.
 But, while we are dIscussiny thIs question Of "occupaiions," we nay as well tell the Star. that there aTt scme names on the Democratic list thlt the CITIZEN. in Q spirit of charii. left blank, when the occupations miSh Lave been filled out without helping the standing of the Democratic delegation or the parties named in the list. Evea the Star will not undertake to deny this. The Star has no 'asica to make an issue of the character oi ihs men, but it is very much agreved hecsrSe of the TcontemphDle manner used by your i Imeaning the Republican, party to dis franchise the legal voters of Pms coun- ty." This is very funny statement. We would like to have the Star inform us who has been disfranchisedi It is true that Democrats were rot allowed to vote at our Republican primary. But we were not aware that they tcok the matter SO seriously to heart. ltwould have been a very nice thIng for Demo- crats, if they could have nominated the Republican ticket, and then put iu no- imitation ticket of their own to beat it. But Republicans are not 1T the habit of permitting such things. They are abundently able to take care ol their own affairs without any aid or sIgges- tions from "mossbacks.' We know that our ticket is not the one that the leading mossbacks would have us put in the field, but 1t suits Re publicans and many Democrats remark ably well, and that is what causes the shoe to pinch. We feel sorry for the Democratic County Committee for their failure t. make political capital out of the so-called green ticket" The printing and circulation of those tickets must have cost the "dear old party" heavily. and they DO doubt feel the loss of the money, but as the Republican commit tee was not consulted, and had DO hand Tn the green ticket pie, it IS not to be expected that they will contribute any money to the Democrats for what has already been done; but if the brethren will duplicate the order We have no doubt the Republican committee will gladly share the expense of printing and circulating the "green ticket.' In con- clusion, We will take it upon ourselves to thank the "mossbacks" for whft they have already done in this matter, and we will alse use what little influence We may have with the Republican commit tee to spread upon their records a sote of thanks for valuable service rendered.
