ELECTION STICkERS.

For several years past The Mineral
Point Tribune and The Dodgeville
Chronicle have denounced as species
Of fraud, election stickerS or pastors,
and have repeatedly warned their read
ers against their use by the wicked
democrats Only the week before elec-
ton. The Chronicle was exceptionally
severe in condemning the use of stick
rrs. especially when printed upon white
papcr. While no stickers were used in
the interest Of any democratic candi-
date ut the recent election, many We're
used in the interest of some of the re-
republican candidates and they were
printed upon white paper too, and
were well calculated to deceive the I'M
suspecting voter. However, not one
word of disapproval has been uttered
10y either The Tribune or The Chronicle,
II the tSick had been procticed by the
democrats instead of the republicans
how these self same organs of the & o.
y. would have made the welkin ring
with cries Of democratic fraud! II
would be more Secmly for them to put
on sackcloth and ashes and repent
them of the sins of their party and
their own hypocrisy than to crow so
loudly rs they do over the mixed result
of the recent elections.

With good platform, wise one, a
patriotic one, and James e.. Blaine for
the candidate, there will be seen more
enthusiasm among republicans than
has been witnessed since those glorious
DAYS of 1860 when Abraham Lincoln
was elected. Republican Exchange.
The Democrat would suggest that it
requires more than enthusiasm To
carry an election. Votes are needed.
If enthusiasm would nave done any
good. there was enough of it displayed
by the Blaine followers in 1884, when
they marched and countermarched un-
der their flowing white plumes The
harder the opposition oppose HIM,
said the friends of the Maine states

TO him" They stuck to him closely
enough; but there were more against
him than for him and he was defeated.

The fight between Bragg and De

Kilkenny result. Nothing is left OF
the two contesting Democratic cats but
their tails. While we mourn over the
political result, we have no tears to
shed over the sad remains of the cats.
\ lesson 10 the Democratic party in
the late election may be wisely needed.
/ If the party wishes to take strong hold
upon the people, it must have a recog-
nized policy and principle. that is so
plain as TO be unquestionable. 1t must
purge itself of al men who oppose
that reform.
