 The vindicator appears to be rather reluctant in the yindicating business. A prominent democrat, MT. J. c.

 -The aspirants for office inside of the union labor party must feel cheap in deed when they learn that certain of their leaders are trying to get material out of the democratic party to place on their ticket. It shows that the leader: of that party are either ungrateful tc the members of their own party or hav- l ing no hope of success they want to sacrifice a few democrats in order to show them how nicely they can de ceiYe them with empty promises.
 See w. A. Clay or Henry Bonds about washing your feathers. Call and see the work done and be convinced
 We are led to infer that the union labor party is "short" on suitable ma terial for candidates from the way they go about proselyting democrats. MT D. R. Grant of Dover township is tho latest one approached with the flatter ing( ? bribe of nomination for assessor if he would forsake his party. Like MT Bonds he indignantly refused to board the sinking ship. He says he would not accept the nomination on tha ticket If his election was assured. Al honor to Mir. Grant.
 w. A. Clay will remain hut a few days longer. Why don't you hay, your beds washed while you have { chance?
