Isn't that a beautifully variegated,
piebald, notified hybrid of a ticket?
And doesn't the bosom of the average
self.respecting member Of the party
which proudly traces its genealogy
back through a hundred years to the
heroic days the Republic. swell with
pride as he sees this party, the party
Of Jefferson and jackson, abjectly su.
ing for the high privilege Of serving
az tail for kite that was only made
last year? 1t is spectacle too sad for
tears!
But, seriously, why should any Dem
ocrat feel himself under any sort of
party obligation to vote this ticket?
1t Is not a Democratic ticket. At
least the only part oft which anybody
will claim has the slightest show of
election, is not Democratic. Mr.. Pow.
er and Mr.. Lindsay are not Democrats.
They were nominated by the Union
Labor party before the Democratic
convention met and by accepting that
nomination proclaimed themselves
Union Laborites. And their election
would be hailed as a Union Labor
victory. Why should any Democrat
take any more pride in their election
than in the election of Mr.. Cunning
ham and Mr.. Eckley? These are re-
Elections with which a good many cam

pied these days, and we fancy the re-
suits of this reflection will be apparent
when the votes are counted out.

1t has become matter of common
knowledge that the Union Labor cam
didates for treasurer and sheriff are
"working the F. NJ. B. A racket" for
all it ia worth. We have heard it
from any number of independent
sources, and within a week at least a
dozen members of that order from diff.
ferent parts of the county have volun.
tarily come to us and confirmed the re-
ports. In two lodges, If rumor may be
trusted, the question of supporting
these men on the sole plea of their
membership In the order, has been
brought up in open lodge and voted
upon. In other instances, in locali-
ties where they did not dare make so
bold an appeal, they have said to the
members that they were not paying
much attention to their candidacy,
they did not expect to be elected, BUT
TEEY WOULD BE GRATIFIED IF THE
MEMBERS OF THE ORDER WOULD
GIVE THEM A COMPLIMENTARY VOTE!
