not care to enter the race, and cOnse-
quently declines the nomination.

The ticket placed in the field by the
Independent Democrats created but
little comment yesterday. When the
nominations were spoken of in either
Democratic or Republican circles it was
in a spirit of ridicule. One well known
county Official said, 'As a matter of
fact, these reformers will add strength
to the regular county ticket. The
boilers would never have voted for the
regular nominees anyway, and all those
votes which would have been added to
the Republican county ticket will now
be thrown away Oh an independent
ticket"
