A coon TlcKEr

In another column will be found the
ticket nominated by the democrats last
Saturday In convention assembled. Rep.
resentative democrats from all parts ofthe
county were present. Eighty.three Of the
eighty.four delegates elected 10 the con-
vention were present In person, there be-
Ing but one proxy vote In the convention.
Harmony seemed to be the order Of the
day, though the contest for nominations
was persistent and earnest. AS Is always
the case, defeated candidates felt much
disappointed, but all seemed to take their
defeat philosophically and expressed their
determination to do all In their power to
elect the whele ticket.

date for Coroner. John is one of the whee
horses of democracy in his region and viii

Upon the whole the ticket is good on
and we see no reason why II will not al
be elected. OF course many democrat
have not secured the nominaiioA OF thei
first choice for all the places 10 be filed
but this must always be the case. Demo
Gratis should remember that If the nomine'
Is not their choice he is the choice of many
and the many should be pleased rather
than the few. We regard it as the su
Ipreme duty of every democrat to arm him
self for the conflict that is impending. Re
publicans this presidential year will max
the supreme effort of their life to GUST tn
democrats from power. Already they ar,
closing up their ranks to gain victory II
June that will have bearing in their fayo
in November. They will fight bitterl.
and die in the last ditch,if need be, to elect
their candidate for president. Then We
say to democrats in every precinct, Close
up your ranks, forget past differences,anS
prepare for the great contest In June an.
the greater one in November.
