OUR TICKET.

The Peoples party refused all
offers Of fusion in this campaign,
and defeated Mr.. Pugh, the fusion
Republican nominee.
Mr.. A. B. Booth is tho only
Populist that advocated the fusion,
and consequent Endorsement Of Mr..
Pugh at the State Convention.
His mistakes confused our CONVEX
ton, and throwed part of its work
| on the State Central Committee.
AGAINST THE URGENT REQUESTS
of the Sugar-planters and Repub-
licans, the State Central Commit
tee went straight to its duty and
named its ticket suitable to our
platform and the exigencies of this
campaign.
The Sugar-plantors proved them
selves honest and patriotic by in
dorsing this Populist ticket, rather
than help Foster by putting anoth-
Ter ticket in the field.
Gov. Foster and his agents were
| in the city during the Sugar-plant-
|er's convention, doing what they
could to stir up strife and put an
other ticket out.
The old line Republicans then
indorsed our ticket because it offers
the only means by which they
can save themselves from disfran-
chisement.
Now, the Poptslist who would
desert his ticket because it has re-
ceivesl the indorsement of enough
voters to insure its election, IS the
veriest Of fools, is q 6t subject for
Democratic ballot box stnfing, and
deserves to be the cringing slave Of
plutocracy the balance Of his life.
