THE SENATORIAL CONTEST.

Reprehensible Tactics of Fox,s Sup-
porters-Fox,s Political Career.
1t is now quite apparent that the Demo
cratic nominee for State senator regards
his case as desperate, and his supporters
mud throwing in the forlorn hope of saw
ing himself from defeat. The Register ON
Saturday and Sunday, without the slight
est provocation, commenced personal at
tacks on Mr.. Hamilton, making the false
statement that he had but recently moved
to this city and was not, therefore, ac-
quainted with its affairs, when in fact he
has lived here continuously since 1872
eighteen years. He has served in both
branches of the common council, is now a
member of the board of aldermen and was
chairman of the commission to compile the
charter and revise the ordinances, which
work was highly praised by the Register
when completed.
The statement in the Sunday Register
that Mr.. Hamilton had attempted to hire
one Ryan for ten dollars to put out spuri-
GUS tickets is absolutely false, as Mr.. Ham
ilton never spoke to the man described,
gave him any tickets or offered paid
him anything. 1t is, however true
that a sort of renegade half
Republican was seen on Grand avenue
Saturday afternoon with a State ticket
bearing the names of all the Republican
nominees except that of Nh. Hamilton, which
was pasted over with that of Mr.. Fox.
Republicans are warned to beware of such
tickets. Read your ticket before voting,

| ilton is thereon for senator.
While the Register is attempting to
boom Mr.. Fox it would be well for Demo

his past political career.

Democrats for city clerk. A boiling Dem

accepted the nomination of city clerk
on this boiling ticket. John S. Fowler
was nominated by the Republicans,
1 and Mr.. Fox was literally buried al
the polls, Fowler having majority OF
over 900.
Next, Mr.. Fox appears as Democratic
nominee for representative, but when the
Republicans nominated a strong man
against him, so afraid of his defeat was his
party that they compelled him to resign his
nomination in favor of James E. English
