There is some confusion about

white hat is the Republican hat. The
Democratic hat should have either
red bandana handkerchief tied a
round it or a wide black band to in
dictate that the Democracy is mourn
ing in advance for the defeat that
awaits that party next November.
The Dispatch last week said that
81. M. Sallee will hereafter vote the
republican ticket" Mr. Sallee tells
us that he will vote for Harrison and
Morton but whether he Will vote the
republican ticket as long as he lives
| depends on whether they always put
forward as good a ticket as they have
this year and whether the party advO-
Gates good principles.

The first Of the week the proprie-
