The republican press of the count

The republican press of the county
IS unanimous in stating that it was a
bad thing flor republicans) for the
democrats to nominate the same men
Tor county Office this fall whom the
populists nominated. If the republican
press was not SO active in patting the
few straight OUTS on the back and
saying good boys! go aheadl we are
with your there would be less reason
to believe that the kicker leaders are
influenced by love of republican suprem-
acy more than by democratic principle.
The past records of the few leaders
who assume to denounce the majority
OF delegates in the recent democratic
| convention as TRAITORS, towards. popu-
lists and hoodoos," do not show that
they have ever been consistent, earnest
democrats. Some of them have never
before this year attended democratic
convention; others have been known to
oppose the election of democratic NOM
lnees year after year, and to work for
the election of republicans over good
democrats. When such men pose as
leaders, and assume to set the pace for
consistent democracy it is time for all
honest men who are true enough dem
ocrats to abide by the decision of the
majority to pull lose from such leader
