detection anywhere. On the contrary,
even the constitutional GROWERS are sat
i fed and have nothing but praise to
give the ticket from top to bottom. And
well they may. 1t is the most perfect
ticket ever presented to any party.
Every man on the ticket Is in the right
place. II embodiss the party and
incarnates its great principles SO

most disinl crested men in the organiza

change in it for the better, Bartlett,
with his splendid record, is a power in
the State, before whose solid worth the
literary dude and collaboration of Pix

liant Tarpey. the noble Hendricks, the
scholarly johnson, the honest Du n, the
able Moul Ter, the sterling Spencer, the
bluff and popular Herold, d the capa-
bic Miller-buttressed by the three mag
rificent iurists for Justices of the Su-
preme Court, are all very foremost men
in the commonwealth, and their worth
will be recognized at the polls. Very
fortunate, too, have been the District

higher or is more justly txtolled by all
who know him personally or by reputa-
ton than the retired editor of your
