hod ~ the list Mr.. Harrison in 1885 had puraliV

Mr. Fassett will do equally well. man VINO was

Mr. Flowers assertion that he would carry the county
While Mr. Flower is personally popular In the banner
Republican county, yet his popularity is not OF the
sor that will lead Republicans to desert their party
for the candidate Of Tammany Hall. To them the
man one thing but to them also his political DOS'
Tammany is another. AS man and banner they
would trust him transact their business Tor teh Due
as a politician and the sworn servant OF ImhihanS
Hall the organization Of Tweed and the boilers against
Lucius Robinson they will not trust him. HIS cam
naign managers are flooding this part of the State with
copies of his nine pension speeches. for this is the nome
of many an old soldier and they hope to catch theT
votes The soldiers do not forget however, that during
the war when company after company was beihs
raised in ST. Lawrence jefferson and the other Northern
heIp Union Soldier but the contrary cursed those
who did enlist They have not forgotten either that he
refused to enlist because he could make 500 or oOo
per cent selling jewelry to the wives and the SWEEP
hearts OF the soldiers. The money came from the
'front.' where he ought to have been. And also tIley
do not forget that later on in its career When ue
Democratic party wanted him to take the Democratic
nomination for Lieutenant-GoveOr in 1885, he refused
t1 take it, although that place has been filled by such
men as De Witt Clinton, Hamilton Fish, Henry J.
RAYMOND, Thomas c. AlvOrd, General Stewart Il.
WoolfOrd William DOrsheimer, Allen {. Beach, DaVld
b. Hill and General Edward I. Jones. The place was
not good enough for him. He wanted the nomination
for Governor or nothing, and he could not get II
until Tammany Hail. with the help of Edward Murphy
r and William f. Sheehan, obtained control OF the
Democratic machine and offered the nomination Tor
sale to the highest bidder. Then the soldiers OF ST.
Lawrence and Jefferson counties have locked over the
Tammany Hall ticket in VAIN to Hnd one soldier upon
it, They found man at the head of it who cursed
the soldiers for fighting abolition wal, but they
did not md the name Of man who had fought Tor
the Tnion Democratic soldiers recOllect that Tam
many said that Il soldier was not wanted. ana an
ex. Rebel for this same organization seconded tho
nomination OF one who called them "Llncolhs hre-
| lings" but was willing to make from 500 10 600 per
cent in selling jewelry to the wives and sweethear'S

Il was too young to enlist, and not old enough to

others of the small er towns meetings are being he'd
clubs organized and every effort is being made to ge

weather is on election day. but the Republican Leaders
are engaged in the belief that when farmers VIII

II that is the case, st. Lawrence County will not fal
far behind the standard set years ago, as the
