NoKGREL POLITICIANS


As intimated in last weeks PRESS, there
will be- and now we know il to be fact
that there will be mongrel tickets in the
field next Tuesday. They will be gotten
eat by both parties. by fr;cnis of can
didates in both parties and in some in
stances thew were gotten out without the
knowledge of the candidates whose in
terests may be affected by them. The
PRESS has done ITS duty and duly warned
its readers against such tickets, but at the
same time We are not surprised nor are
our readers, We presume, that such tickets
are to be found. Such political trickery
WAS common when oar great grand fathers
were in their swaddling clothes. How
ever the ''hog wash" editor OF the Gazette
Wild Blu, has fallen into state OF semi
unconsciousness, because, for sooth. he
has fodnd q Democratic ticket with Re-
publican candidate on it, Ills righteous
soul became exceedi gly hot thereat and
whole baokets full of froth have been
slung from his jaws while hs raved up and
down the streets telling his demo hrethren
Of his discovery. Alas! poor Bill, his
yawp availeth nothing, A moEgrel poll
itician should say little about mongrel
tickets. The people are "onto" BIZ
The Democrats realize h6 is renegade
from the Republican ranks aud at their
convention showed their appreciation of
it. No chump can jump from one party int
another and before he alights. demand the
best Office they have for dong so. The
Democrats have thousands Of mongel
tickets out FOR We have seen several spec
linens. The Republicans have done the
same. II is tit for tat But for all this
a man is fool who claims be had no
chance to vote straight, for oil tie county
Republican papers publish the straight
ticket.
