EQUAL TO THE DEMANDS OF TRADE!
The Democratic Tactics of Last Year to
be Repeated!

The Democracy of Jackson County
have no hope of carrying the County,
and see nothing to indicate possible
ity of any such thing in the near
future. Their only hope, therefore,
is by concentrating their efforts upon
one man to elect him. For this pur-
pose George J. Reiniger was nominated
for Auditor. When Mr. Reiniger ran
for Treasurer the first time, he was
elected by Republican votes. This OF
course was complimentary to Reini-
ger, but he presumed too much upon
the fidelity of his Republican friends,
and came up for a second term. Dur
ing his first term he had been an
unusually active Democratic politician,
giving time and money to further the
interests of the Democratic party.
This time he was defeated, though
the Democracy concentrated their
efforts upon this one office. Mr..
Reiniger had a better opportunity for
success then than he has now, and
will be defeated by much greater
majority this time. He is good cit
izen, and was faithful officer. That
is no reason why Republicans should
vote for him. We do not have to go
to the Democratic party to find good
men. Why should any Republican
vote for Mr.. Reiniger, or any other
Democrat, simply because he is good
fellow, or has made good officer?
Had he been anything else, he would
not have deserved the votes OF either
party. The Republicans present
man for Auditor, who, in point OF
qualifications. has never had superior
in the Court House. Mr.. Jones is
thorough book-keeper, and has never
been afraid of work. He has always
been plain, straightforward, common
sense man, and is just the man for the
position he seeks.
Mr.. Reiniger would never have con-
sented to run against Mr.. Jones were
it not that there was contest in the
Republican Convention over the nom
ination for Auditor, giving rise to the
hope that there had been some bitter
ness engendered. Now the Democrats
step forward and say to friends of de-
feated candidates, ''here is a chance
for you to get even. Vote the DEM
ocratic ticketr' Certainly a sweet
form of reasoning to present to intel
ligent Republicans! If Mr.. Reiniger
wants Republican votes let him come
over to the Republican party. There
is no argument, or reason, why any
Republican should vote for Reiniger.
He ran well both times, but his total
vote in 1885 was 157 less than it was
in 1888. There is such a thing as
running man to death, but the Dem
ocrats seem never to get hold of this
great fact. The plan now is, to trade
all the rest of the ticket for Reiniger.
]. M. Lively will have all the votes
he needs, with some hundreds to spare.
when a Democrat comes
around with the soft proposition ''Yo ou
vote for George Reiniger, and I'll vote
for Lively" just tell that Democrat to
excuse you, that we intend to elect
every man ON the Republican ticket,
and have no need of any special bar
gains. As the case stands, there is no
possibility Of any Democrat being
elected in Jackson County, unless the
elect him. Think you
that the Republicans, with excellent
candidates Of their own, will go over
and elect Democrats? Not much!
The thing for Republicans to do is
to vote the straight Republican ticket,
from top to bottom. There is no reason
in voting for any Democrat. We
have the votes to elect the ticket, let |
US elect it. Watch closely the Dem
ocratic movements. They are on a
still hunt for the Auditors office. See
to it that they are very forcibly shut
out. No Democrat has a right to
presume that he will be elected by
votes, and it is a good time
to kill that idea. Vote the Republi-
can ticket!
