OUR LEGISLATIVE TICKET.

Democrats in this district have rea-
sons to be proud of their legislative
ticket. They should work for it with
all their might. 1t is now complete
The vacancy occasioned by the resig-
nation of Mr.. Cherry is filed by the
nomination of Mr.. McNally and every
exertion should be made to elect the
entire ticket. There was division over
the nomination as to whether it should
be John A. Marshall or j. c. McNally
Both are strong men, earnest Demo
Gratis and competent lawyers and
would shine with their compeers in
the legislature.
1t may be surprise to some to see
Mr.. Marshall's name in this connec-
ton. He is another prop removed
from support of the Liberal faction.
One by one its pillars are taken away.
The gentleman, though not nominated
this time, will work for the Democrat
ic ticket as will many others who have
renounced the remnant of Liberalism
as thing now without a purpose, a
CLIQUE without principle
Every one of the gentlemen on the
ticket for the Council and for the
House is a strong man and devoted to
the principles of the party. They
should and no doubt will receive the
full strength of its vote We expect
soon to give personal particulars con-
corning them each and all. They are
worthy of the confidence and support
of every Democrat in the district. We
do not believe any one will question
either their Democracy or their abil-
ity.
AS this is triangular contest, it
may be thought useless because, with
a Republican as well as a Democratic
ticket in the field, the Liberals NAV
slip in between as before. But we re-
mind our friends that conditions have
been changing right along. A great
many Democrats have left the Liberal
craft. which has become only pratt
cal, and are now aboard the good
ship Democracy. Every one of them
makes difference of two votes. one
less for the Liberals, one more for
Democrats.
This should give encouragement.
even with the. other two points of the
triangle in view. OF course the Re
publicans cannot win in this district
unless it be by the trade proposed
by the Liberals. That is sup
port for the Liberal city ticket in
exchange for Liberal votes OF the
legislative ticket. We do not beiiuve
it win be considered. That would be
infamous. 1t would, moreover. be of
small avail. A very big Liberal slump
would have to be made to elect any
Republican to the legislature, while a
comparatively small Republican apos-
tacy would perhaps elect a Liberal or
two on the municipal ticket
But the unlawful cohabitation, the
unholy alliance would be detected cas-
lily and would cover with contempt the
Republicans who profted by the COM
pact. 1t is not likely that a decent
Republican would listen to it, and it
may be set down as sure that the Re
legislative ticket in this dis
trict. even with the legitimate access
sions from the Liberals, has no chance
whatever.
But it is different in the case Of the
Democrats. There is for them a. good
fighting chance. Every active member
Of the party in this district should
work for the election of the gentlemen
whose names are on the legislative
ticket at the head of these editorial
columns. In working for the munich
