THE DEMOCRATS.
The democrats assembled the same
afternoon i'm the council room, under a
"union" call. 1t had been talked over
among the local leaders of the demOc-
racy that the party had not the slightest
hope of success in, the township this
year, by running regular party ticket,
and so sprung a carefully concOcted
scheme to disrupt the republicans. So
they passed a resolution TO call the tick
ct "free silver ticket" and nominated
the following candidates;
Supervisor-Geo. Nj. Lyle.
Clerk-Ed. II. Lindsey.
Treasurer-F. Il. Cookbook.
Highway Cemr-Chas. Lake.
Drain Com'r-W. j. Halstead.
Justice Geo. Prater.
School Inspector-Marie Cooper.

Sage, Seward Payne, A. q. Shepard.
The following gentlemen were APP
pointed AS village committee:
Geo. NJ. Lyle, Willis Clapp, Bert Z
Bryar.
The following delegates to the county
convention-the democratic one-were
elected:
G.. S. Maynard, r. j. Cavanaugh, NJ
III. PuCsley, ii A. Cole, q. L. Sherrod
h. p. Bryar, w. H. Mason, III. H. Me
Neil, Chas Lake, G.. w. Lee, W. w
Crandall Harry Wilson, K b. Cookbook
Bert. Gleason.
Messrs. Geo. +. Prater, M. ID. Bus
kirk and A. q. Shepard, being good re-
publcans as well as free silver men
promptly forbade the printing of their
names on the mongrel ticket, and it is
expected Miss Cooper will do likewise
The NORTHERNER has not a word &c
say against Mr.. Lyle, but taking into
consideration the fact that he claims tC
be a republican, that he was present n
and voted in the republican caucus,
: and then lent himself to a democratic
scheme TO defeat the regular republican
nominees, he has forfeited every claim
to republican support, and should look
, for his votes to the democratic Grove
with which he is at present affiliated
| and especially so because of the fact
! that he insisted to republican friends
, that he would not be candidate fO
supervisor under any circumstances.
' As to the free silver" heading of tn,
: ticket, that is nothing more than tricl
4 of the democratic leaders TO secure re
. publican votes. The flat-footed silver
, resolutions adopted from time to time
! by the local republicans, including thu
one printed above which was adopted
, at the republican caucus, leave no ex
! cuse for any republican voting an,
/ other than his own party ticket because
of his friendliness To silver.
The entire republican ticket is
, good one and should be elected from
/ top to bottom.
