Passing along, with this very brief synopsis
iof a partof the iacts, let us refer hut mo-
merit to6the Importance Of that part OF our
ticket. cal ed the local ticket, comprising our
nuHiinees for ClcI h OF the Court, Sheriff, Gnun-
~ Commissioner ana surveyor. Each of these
offices is important to the good government and
welfare OF the county. To suffer the RepuDli.
can party, when we have undoubtedly ma
jorty Of Democratic voters to enrreDch itself
Ill any one of these places. is Il wrong to the
nominee OF the democratic party Tor that place
ana greater wrong 70 ourselves and the sta
bility of our political principles. A cut upon
our ticket in lavOr of a Republican for any one
these positions, is II stab i'll the back and cannot
be defended upon any 1ustiable grounds.
our cand dates are cOuSplcuOuSly competent
men, every one of them, and if they are de-
frauded of their rights, or one jor title of
their rights, they alone do not suffer, hut every
nominee i'll the future will equally suffer by the
example set. No man has right, stricky
speaking. however deserving ne may be, and
however proper and lifting it is that his merits
he recognized, to demand IL nomination from
his party-hut when nominated, his position
changes. Then he, or rather his party, has Y
right to the vote of every Democrat i'll that
party, because the safety and integrity of the
Democratic party is then concerned.
But above and beyond all tn S, fellow Dem
ocrats, IRE are Democrats, and we have no
Just reason or plausible excuse to turn Har-
ford counny over to the Republicans and see
her ranked in the future one OF the bepub-
lican counties of the State. Your disSatisfac-
ton, if you have any, will be encouraged by
your adversares for their own sinister pur-
poses, either in the shape of cutting your ticket
or remaining away from the election one is as
culpable as the other. Personal solicitation on
he score of favors, past promised, is n
favorite mode used to induce you To violate
your ballot. The only safety is to 90 to the
polls and vote your ticket straight ana without
the omission ut IL name.
Assured that you will do this, ne are eqnaly
assured that we may in advance cOngra .ulate
you upon certain victory.
By order of Executive Committee.
