LOCAL POLITICAL NOTES.
The Democratic county central com
mittee, consisting-so far as we have
been able to learn at this writing-oi
Hon. ]. b. Goshorn, got together
somewhere last Saturday and nomin-
ated a full county ticket. There was
not word said about fusion, we un-
derstand, but by singular cOincid-
ence the ticket nominated was pre-
cisely the same as that named some
time ago by the Peoples convention
There was no platform adopted, so far
as We cen learn. But that was prob
ably out of consideration for the can
didates who might find it unpleasant
to be stretched over two platforms. 1t
may also have been owing to some
doubt in the mind of the central COM
mittee-this being an off year-as to
what it was really best and safest for
him to believe. The meeting of the
committee, the outpouring of the
Democratic masses we presume it
might be called, was entirely har-
monious. In fact there was but one
voice in all its deliberations. What
ever the chairman of the committee
MIR. Goshorn-proposed, the other
members of the cOmmittee,-Mr. Cos
horn-unanimously approved, and the
secl etary of the committee-Mr. Cos
horn cheerfully recorded. 1t was a
conservative meeting too. 1t did not
ransack the hedges and the sunfiow-
ers for new and untried candidates.
On the contrary it chose men who are
already in the candidate business,
ready made candidates, as you might
say,-sort of hand-me-down ticket.
1t is little shelf worn, to be sure, this
ticket is, a little creased and faded,
little inclined to run down at the heel
and ravel at the toe, little old fash
toned and out of date. "But then"
argued the committee, sit is good
enough for the Democracy of Allen
county. Anything is good enough |
for them this year. Original. tailor
made Democratic tickets are scarce in
Allen county and come high, and this
committee doesn't think it wise to in
cur the expense" And so, after a
speech by Hon. ]. B. Goshorn which
was heartily applauded by the COM
mittee, the meeting adjourned.
There is one particular in which
Populists and Democrats set good
example to Republicans: And that
is in being loyal to their ticket. You
never hear one of them say that some
on their ticket will not re-
ceive the full party vOte,-because
every candidate always does get the
full vote of his party. That is the
kind of loyalty every Republican in
Allen county should initiate this year.
We have a good ticket. 1t may not
have been your choice, but it was the
choice of your party, and the majority
should rule. The success of the party
this year is if infinitely greater NOM ,
sDt than the success or defeat of any r
And that success is bound =,

or last year clearly demonstrated g
hat the Republicans have a good ma 3
GRITTY over the combined opposition.
Talk for the ticket, work for it, vote
t, will be the program, we hope, of
very Republican from now till cleo 4
ion day. 4
1t is already clear that the opposit- e.
on in this county expect to eoncen-
rate all their effort on the offices of
Jerk and sheriff They want the
Jerk because they have an idea that
e may help them out in counting the ;.
ote next fall, and they want the =
heriff because he has more patronage "
t his disposal and can have more in
uence in building up his party
han any other officer. The knowleds 90
nat these two officials, if gained by
he opposition, might be used in this 81
'ay, should make every Republican s;
watchful and jealous for 70
ne corresponding candidates on his u
wn ticket. We do not want to put ~
ubs into the hands of our enemy to
eat us with next year.
