1.-The Republicans and the Democrats
the representative men, the men of in
fiuence, character and political activity
in both parties-shOuldfg 60 together and
agree upon the men to be nominated on
both sides. or, wherever that is possible,
upon candidates to Unsupported by both
parties. For there is no politics in this
ma,trr, or at least not much.''
The above Is from an editorial I'm the
Pioneer Press of Sunday. l am in full
accord with the main features of the
editorial. for believe that the Ques-
tons which will come before the next
legislature touching our city and coun-
ty Will be of such Importance as to de-
mand the Servicps-Of our very best men.
But when it is proposed to have the
representative men, the men OF intlu-
enee, character and political activity in
both parties" assemble and "agree upon
the men to be nominated 0n-both Sides"
the Democrats will recall similar
agreement in 1890. In that year the DEM
ocratic convention was held hrst and the
agreement was,carfied out to the letter.
Subsequently the Republicans held
their convention. and every Republican
nominated by the Democrats was in
dnr>ed. but not one of the Democrats
Nominated by the Democratic conven-
ion WIS: OH the contrary, straight
Republican, ticket was placed in noIni-
ration. L imagine the Democratic party
will not permit itself to be caught in a
similar trap in. 1894. Nominate your
very best men. brethren, and they Will
be defeated by the very best men we
can find in the party. We want no
Iuslun with our friends, the enemy"
