 The Democratic primary election and the Republican nominating con vention, for the purpose of selecting candidates for the various offices, ac- cording to compromise effected some time ago between said parties, have been held. The winning ticket has been selected; pence and harmony pre- vails, and prosperity knocks at our doors. The ticket Is strong one and will, no doubt, poll the full strength of both parties. There was no fraud per pctrated, and although none of us, perhaps, got every man on the ticket, we favored, yet we got those whom a majority want, and we are all for them. and for all of them.
 The nominees are all we'll known to the voters of the county, and we do not think it necessary to recount their special virtues or general fitness for the offices to which they aspire. It seems to us that the indorsement of u handsome majority of all the people should be the greatest proof that they are worthy of our hearty and undivided support. On this broad principle, and in the interest of our beloved county, VIC urge our readers to earnestly work for the election of the Fair Divide" county ticket, and the Democratic State and iudicial ticket
 To our Republican allies in county politics we wish to say that we have tried honestly to convince you of the fact that the election of the State ticket, headed by Fizer, can result in no good to yon, and might result in much harm to our now prosperous State, if it could be elected. We are thoroughly satisfied, however, that the Democratic State ticket will be elected by largely increased majority, and We only ask you to compare the records of the men on the two tickets and then vote as your conscience dictates. Those on the Democratic ticket are men of principle, honor, integrity, and business. They have been successful in all their undertakings, and having been put to the test, have proven them selves worthy and capable officers. On the other hand, the Union Labor candidates for State officers stand to- day with the charge of incompetency and failure ia all undertakings, of re- moving mortgaged property illegally and of collecting n large sum of money for d widow and failing and refusing to turn it over to her, and many other
 weak spots, and damning blotches on their characters as men and politicians have been thoroughly shown up, and never disproved. 1t has also been de- monstrated, and is not denied, that they have lately left the Democratic party, and We say to you for no other purpose than to beguile you and get your vote. Your vote is all that there is about you to interest them. and we appeal to you to weigh we'll your choice before derositing your ballot.
 Let's elect our county ticket, by all means, and carry the county for the Democratic State ticket if we can. Let the election he perfectly fair; in all respects a free ballot and fair count and return, and we honestly believe the right will triumph. In the division the Republicans drew the best offices. There is no reason on earth why any Republican should fail to vote the Fair Divide" part of our ticket at least, and as to Democrats, you will be rec, cant to your best inter- ests if you fail to vote the ticket as published in this paper to-day, from end to end.
 A new era of prosperity is about tc dawn. There IS grand boom in store for our county. Politics have hurt us, and we now have an opportunity to repair the shattered ruins.
 Let us go to the polls in solid column and vote it straight.
