THE REPUBLICAN TICKET REASONS WHY 1T
SHOULD BE ELECTED.

their extremity is to be expected that partisan Demo
| will raise every false hue and cry against the
i Republican county ticket. Having serious of
'machinsm" in both their eyes it is only natural
that they should seek divert of the intelligent
voters from themselves by schemingy pointing out manuac
ured and imaginary weaknesses in the Republican candidates
and msrepresenng how they nominated the
convention on Monday. 1t would be ridiculous the other
hand for the Republican party and vehementy argue
the hustings that its ticket is Supremacy perfect That
