ALL ARE PLEASED
WITH THE TICKET NAMED BY TIE COUNTY
CONVENTION.
Democrats Unanimous in Thsir Approval Of the
Ticket-SOms Expressions Of Opinion
Secured Yesterday.

county approve the action OF Mondays
Convention and pledge to their NOM
inees their unanimous support. the
ticket was generally discussed yester-
day by voters OF all parties. Democrats
were pleased and even Republicans ad-
mitted that it is a strong combination
and one which it will be hard to defeat.
The Republicans who expected the
Convention TO blunder in the selection
OF It's legislative ticket were somewhat
disappointed when the result was
known. The IntelIiGencer, with its
usual disposition TO chuck Its
pedal extremites into its mouth
whenever its opens that capacious
organ, finds weakness IN the
ticket in the fact that, OF the Legisla-
tive candidates, 1.-TWO are from the
Eighth ward, and two are country at
torneys." The Republican organ de-
clares that the Convention made
beautiful mess Of II" in that regard. II
the Inteliigencer is consistent, what
"mess" its own party Convention made
when IL selected two candidates from
the Island, and the other two from
Union district. But even that partisan
sheet does not attempt TO deny That the
Democratic ticket is 4 strong one.
The IntelEq6ncer not only admits the
strength OF the ticket, but admits that
IL lCW be elected, in the following Ian
guage taken from it's report OF the pro-
ceedlngs OF the Convention:
"* Ohio's Big Four will play a
prominent part il the drama-that may be
a tragedy entitled, Doodle VS.. Dema-
gogy, or Which Snail IL Be" 10 be pro-
duced at the State Capitol, next winter,
with elaborate scenic effects. Senator cam
den and Ex-Governor Wilson taking rival
star parts"
The big Four" Is term applied to
the Democratic Legislative candidates.
1t is presumed that the editor Of the
Iltelligencer is familiar with the term,
as il was coined by faction OF the Re-
publican party in this county, and APP
piled to quartette OF Republican
bosses, of which the editor Of the Intel
ligencer is Que.
The ticket is representative OF the
county's diversified interests, and there
fore satisfactory 10 all interests. In strik-
ing contrast with the mutterings Of dis
satisfaction which are yet heard, relative
10 ths recent + publican Convention,
the Democrats are harmonious and uni
ted in their support Of the nominees.
Many are enthusiastic, even going so
far as to say the ticket on the whole, is
the strongest ever nominated in the
county.
