AS matter OF fact the Democratic

little to do with the naming Of the Tur-
ner hall ticket. The ticket was made
up OF the ring long before the conven-

racy and as such should merit the disnp-
proval Of all true citizens.
DIR. KING's Louisiana record is causing
the Turner hall ticket some uneasiness.
He equivocally admits the charges as to
being a member OF the Kellogg Legis-
lature on the ground that his constitu-
ents requested him TO take his seat A
patriotic Democrat running on Demo-
cratic ticket, even If only ring ticket,
certainly ought to make some atone
ment for being member Of kellogg's
Louisiana Legislature, even by request,
and about the best thing the Doctor can
do is TO suffer himself TO be defeated
gracefully. The situation demands such
penancc, and 1t looks as II the Doctor
will have to observe II.

OuTsipg Democratic papers continue
TO report that Major Sayers "hays Judge
Rector alive" wherever he makes
speech. All of which is gush. Judge
Rector has made votes for himself right
along at every point he addresses the
people, and while Major Sayers makes
good speech and is n sociable gentle
man, yet he will not even admit that he
has "nayed Judge Rector alive" to any
extent. Judge Rector Is the advocate
Of protection MS defined by the Repub-
lican platform, and Mr.. Sayers is a free
trader by his own admissions, and in
their joint debates has been placed upon
the defensive by reason OF his position,
past and present. The people Of the
Tenth district want the benefits Of pro-
lection, and Judge Rector's vote will
show very marked expression on that
point.

II WOULD be powerful rich reading II
the candidates for District Clerk and
County Judge, both on the Turner
hall Democratic ticket, should each
write out in full his private
opinion OF the honesty, integrity
and truthfulness Of the other, and give
1t to the public. 1t would prove just
how beautiful are the workings OF the
ring rule, and how much the interests of
the community are resp ected by these
men who do not respect each other, nor
for that matter make any attempt to.
They are now and for the next three
weeks will be in the same position of
that old sinner who was nearing his
mortal end, and who was willing to for
give an enemy If he died, but If he lived
II didn't count. This election on the
part of the Turner hall ticket Is for rev.
enue only, and the people would have
been powerless to help themselves had
not the committee of one hundred
placed the Peoples ticket In the field,
with its nominees of men who possess
the confidence Of the people, and of each
other.
