from Rye to the effect that he appreci
ates the good work being done against

he explodes the silly cry of the gang
that the defeat Of the gang means the
defeat of the entire republican ticket.
He writes
Il believe Judge j. c. Elwell is a
scoundrel OF the lowest order and the
most purchable man have ever known
And again:
Il had calculated to vote with the re-
publicans this fall. but when ! saw such
names as J. c, Elwell on their ticket |
thought they are too corrupt for any
honest man to support. But the cX
planation in the INDICATOR sets the G.

of the judicial ticket
