- The democrats of Red Lion Hundred
though having only Hundred officers to
elect, are working just as hard as though
there was more important offices at stake.
While they recognize the injustice of be-

executive committee, appointed for that
purpose, (after having been thrown out
in 1885,, they will vote solid for the State
and National ticket. There is no factional
feeling in the hundred. The democrats of
Red Lion Hundred are for tariff reform
and constitutional convention, and not
factionalism.
